In both this arc and the Ocean's Dream one, we get a fair amount of usage out of the Skypiea hoverbike.In addition to attacking and taking over Shepherd's giant bazooka, we get the pretty cool assassination takedown scene swinging around on a string of arms Spider-Man style and briefly uses her arms as ropes to ride around on a giant gear. This particular filler arc is great for Robin action scenes.but combining the flashbacks with the damages the Merry suffers in 206, this would eventually lead to the whole 'the Going Merry has to be repaired' storyline in Water Seven, it ends up being pretty appropriate foreshadowing, isn't it? The 203 clip-show ends up being a neat foreshadowing for the crew requiring a good shipwright. It is still a filler arc, and episode 203 in particular ended up being kind of a clip-show halfway through.The Wiki tells me that Jonathan and Drake had a brief cameo in the anime version of Marineford, though neither of them did anything. Jonathan is noted to be a friend of Akainu! I actually wasn't sure if Akainu is already known to the anime-watchers at this point in time.In a hilarious bit, X-Drake shares his voice actor with Lt.Who turns out to be a Marine deep-cover agent. No, he's not to be confused with the Supernova X-Drake. Commander Drake showed up briefly at the beginning of the fourth movie, Dead End Adventure, as a Marine that pursues the Straw Hats.
And one of the more underrated moments is when Shepherd gets put into jail and Usopp just goes "ah, my comrade Condoriano, you got captured too!" was pretty fun. Robin taking out Marine Inspector Shepherd and masquerading as him in order to look up maps and information? Amazing. Sanji (and Luffy) being mistaken as one of the two new chefs from Mariejois and ending up in a cooking competition looks like it's going to be boring, but the actual way he does it - using up the ignored parts of the fish and vegetables of the G-8 cooks and giving the whole spiel of how they're in a military installation and they need to make use of every single resource? Pretty surprisingly good. Chopper's little moment of determination where he's unwilling to leave the novice doctor to do surgery alone and gives this whole rousing speech to Nami that he's a doctor dammit and he won't leave patients unattended was very good.
So at the beginning of the arc our heroes get separated and get into hijinks, which is pretty weak - up until our heroes actually get into roles that suit them.
