| Oh man, such a nice Reunion, finally ALL of the straw hat are together again on there glorious ship. Even the going merry has development in this arc. This was so amazing. I can't contain my self from sheer joy. Leave it to ODA to also create yet another "EPIC" leaving segment. To bad the vice admirals didn't get a chance to fight though. You would think that there sole mission was to destroy the straw hats at all cost, but the vice admirals just gave orders, instead of actually get involved in the action. If that would of happen, they might of had a chance of stopping the straw hats. |
  |
| ^it was the end of the arc.. the vice admirals will have their screen time in the future arcs =) ( well you know already) |
| LOL at chopper punishing zoro! ^_^ anyway.. that was one sweeeet VICTORY! |
   |
| She freaking snapped his spine in half! That's like seriously all I was waiting for this entire arc. |
 |
| Such a great arc |
 |
| was hoping for a big "thank-you-kiss" from robin for luffy : P and yea, agree with leeree, loved how robin broke his spine in half ! :D Wonder if finally everyone of the strawhat-crew will get their own bounty, they should ! ^^ Also wondering by how much luffys+zoros bounty will be increased ! : ) also, when one pice ends (if that even happens :p), luffy better not die because he used his gear second, third etc !!!!!!! |

| i realized i've never talked about how beautiful the background music is. seriously, it accounts for like 50% of the emotion i feel while watching this show. like when robin silently killed spandem - she looked gorgeous there btw - the music was really sad and gorgeous, and it was what made me stop and really take in the scene. this arc was great, but i don't think it's finished yet, so i'll hold off commenting on it. |
| Oh man, so many great episodes in a row, I LOVE IT. I also love how they work together as a team. ;3; so many feels |
| robin snapped his shit ALL THE WAY UP MF! but yeh.. now i need to see these bounties |
| Spandam deserved it |
| Sweet Victory! I've always like it when Nami did her Navigation like a pro. Well, she is a pro. |
| Great victory, but things could have been different if that ice guy joined the fight. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| ROBIN FUCKED HIM UP HOLY SHIT!! |
| So... they're really not going to explain Merry? We're supposed to take Merry as a sentient being? Edit: I GUESS SO. |

| What a great episode, I really liked how they were defending the ship against the cannonballs, Usopp has come a long way helping out the likes of Zoro and Sanji. And seems like the old train survived so Paulie and co could get back. Them surviving wasn't as bad of an explanantion I thought it was going to be. I wonder if we'll ever see Spandam again, will he be wheelchair bound now? Chopper declaring his love for the ship was a highlight. |

| Brilliant episode |
| O_O Robin fucked Spandam up. |
Aibrucey said: Paulie getting mobbed by the long nose twins had me cracking up. Hahaha yeah me too ^ awesome scene! Fantastic episode like the rest of the arc! Ferolex said: Well he had it coming ;DO_O Robin fucked Spandam up. |
| EPIC EPISODE!!! LOL at Chopper, "I can move again! Zoro! Hurry up and apologize to Robin!" and LOL at Zoro and Sanji using Luffy to bounce back the cannon balls! Also loved it when that Spandam shitbag got his back broken in half by Robin-Chwan! Straw Hat Pirates FTW! Overall fantastic episode! 5/5. |
If you don't like me, acquire some taste |
| Next ep, oh Merry T_T |
"Signature removed"   |
| I love seeing the team working together! I CAN"T WAIT TO SEE THEIR NEW BOUNTIES lol |
 |
| Wow Robin crushed Spandam. |
  |
| DAMN robin crushed spandam bones |
 |
| WTF Robin !!! Spandan was piece of shit..but that was going too far!They were not even fighting! |
| Was an amazing episode. Merry came to save them~~! Just a wonderful ending to this arc. |
 |
| The initial scene with robin? I had tears in my eyes! |
 |
| Gahhh this was a great episode, to justify all that crap build-up, safe to say it was relatively worth the wait. Seeing Robin finally take it out on Spandam by snapping his spine was great, but he didn't react to it like I thought someone whose back was broken would |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned! It felt so good to hear Spandam literally get snapped in two- nice going there Robin, that dimwit deserved no mercy!! The build up was worth the wait. I also loved how Sanji was all like "come into my arms Robin-chwaaaan", but Franky caught her bridal style instead! I'm wondering what's gonna become of the CP9 members now...they didn't just get blown up did they? I wonder if their fates are gonna be open ended?? |

| Gosh, it took what, about 50 episodes to win this battle. As I watched those leading up to this dazzling escape, I started to realize that the author is very clever. I was thinking about the irony... pirates are supposed to be the bad guys, and the Marines are supposed to be on the good side, but in reality, the roles are reversed and the 'world government' conspires to hide that lost century at any cost, even if it means genocide. We see that those fighting on the 'government' side are maniacal evils sons o' bitches. While the Straw Hats are saving the world, one island at a time. Brilliant. |
| Water 7 was really something special. Enies Lobby was run pretty mediocre for being the symbol of justice without means to stop devil fruit users with sea prism stone technologies which I would have liked to see. As it stands now the Straw Hats were the first to win in an attack but I honestly feel like someone like Ace could have done that all by themself, apart from winning against all the CP9 members that is. However, the island of Water 7 was beautiful, memorable, had politics and a structure that we understood due to its backstory without being overbearing. The people were memorable even the unnamed like the guy who gave Usopp food and supplies for the Merry when he was out alone. The named people were even better with this arc having some of the best supporting characters of any, Iceberg, the Shipwrights, the Frankies, Kokoro, Chimney, and Gonbe were all great and lively parts of Water 7. Franky being a new member and having a fascinating backstory featuring Tom was great. CP9 was the best group of villains One Piece has seen but my personal favorite major villain is still Crocodile. Thinking of the past villainous groups no individuals in them stand out as much as the likes of Khalifa, Jabra, and Kaku who all had fascinating personalities without coming off as simple either. Most of the fights were good, Zoro's I had some problems with but it ended phenomenally, and Luffy's final fight with Lucci was magnificent due to the surrounding fight and Usopp's pep talk and the dynamic of strength vs perseverance to the point of near suicide even if I had problems with Luffy's gears and the six powers, it made up for it. All the other fights showed the good sides of our characters, Franky's, in particular, developed him so much while being utterly awesome. Sanji's was rule of cool and super satisfying. Chopper's was brilliantly directed and genuinely scary while also developing him in terms of resolve, and his power in a believable and interesting way. It developed the cast so much. We saw new sides of everyone as it took tones One Piece has never dared to go to with the likes of Usopp losing confidence and respect in himself and fighting Luffy leading to Luffy actually crying over having to betray a nakama. Ultimately Usopp hopefully learning from Sanji and not having to fight that he is valuable, that he can do stuff they can't, even if that doesn't involve fighting. Robin went through a ridiculous amount of development, primarily wanting to die to wanting to live but now we understand her. We understand everyone on a deeper level now, some more than others is my point. I think It's awesome how we got to see Luffy break, we got to finally understand his limits. All that said, I wasn't a fan of the last minute powers like Sanji's devil foot(okay I was a fan but I wish it wasn't so abrupt), the Luffy gears not getting screen time before this in any way, or Zoro's one shot on Kaku after a joke of a fight. Nor was I a fan of the six powers removing strategy in Luffy's fights and threatening it in the others fights. It came with power levels and power scaling techniques for Luffy to fight, might is right style, rather than countering devil fruit powers or tactics at times. The six powers don't even seem believable in a One Piece sense, these guys were practically demigods. And to get back to praise, every darn episode had a new set piece to remember and it broke the formula in so many ways, the fights and storytelling was dynamic with everyone crossing into each other's paths and changing paths. It wasn't one on ones being told the entire time, stories from point a to b, there were constant curve balls being thrown, Usopp and Robin leaving, Sanji being on the train with Franky and Usopp tied up and the others trying to catch up, monster Chopper on the loose, Usopp not getting a fight despite being set up to have one to prove a point to him, the Khalifa fight having so many people play a part in it including having Sanji lose. A lot of stuff was not predictable in the best way possible, the flow was real, it didn't feel scripted or structured. For the set pieces we had Luffy terrorizing the navy by himself, Franky burning the blueprint, the Straw Hat-CP9 standoff, the "I WANT TO LIVE", Chopper transforming, Franky threatening to kill him and Fukurou, "Sogeking, shoot through that flag", the Merry Klabautermann coming to save the day, and many more. I could honestly pull one out of the majority of these episodes. It just kept getting more intense and awesome without ever overdoing it. So, despite something like Arlong being more consistent, Water 7 definitely brought more to the table. It has much higher highs and lower lows in my opinion, but it would be hard to say it's not the best One Piece has ever been. It's definitely up there for me as my favorite arc. One Piece totally holds 3 of my top 5 shounen arc now, Arlong, Alabasta, and this one(the other two are Demon King Piccolo from Dragon Ball, and Chapter Black from Hakusho). Sorry for the rant, I just wanted to express the things I thought this arc did amazing and poorly all jumbled together because I've already gone over every single part of this in more detail as they came up in the past, it's just nice to get the majority of my thoughts together in one big post. And, for this episode in particular, it was an awesome escape. People have already gone into the details so I'll keep it short. Sanji coming in clutch and closing the gates, Nami's confidence taking control of the situation, the Straw Hats fighting against the cannon balls coming in, Robin shattering Spanda's bones, the Straw Hat's reunion, it was brilliant. I wonder if Franky catching Robin bridal style was foreshadowing ;) ; ) ;) I'm so glad that Spandam's lie that Aokiji ordered Robin's death was heard by the admiral aboard. That was enough to make me so happy that he'd finally get what he deserved and that was even before Robin shattered his spine. |
| The Straw Hats did a magnificent job of defending the ship from that hail of cannonballs and everyone's efforts had a vital role in their escape. I'm especially impressed at Sanji who decided to close the Gates of Justice so they can make an easier escape. Seeing everyone else make a clean escape using the Sea Train was also really cool! Normally, I'd feel sorry for someone who had their spine broken into two but Spandam got what he fucking deserved! If he can't die, never being able to walk again and even feel his lower body was a nice enough price for him to pay for all the abuse he's done to Robin and all his wrongdoings towards Tom. |

| ayo i guess u could say they made it out in One Piece loool also they re gon hv the phattest bounties on their heads after this probably |
| well it seems robin is ready to the path of vengence , i wonder how many triked things she will do Nest fight , gumgum X EndlessHand 😍Pauly😓Pauly😍 |

Loli world is just a cute world full of cute meat |
| Spandam's fate was worse than death. Patently, he will never walk again, so he has no choice but to retire. |
 She got him back. If you understand the characters well enough, you'd know she did! |
| Thank you Robin for snapping that annoying bastard. |
 |
| This whole episode is a masterpiece ! And i'm so glad Robin and Franky got to see Spandam die (hopefully) ! |
