I'm annoyed by how we shifted completely away from this arc's cliffhanger and went to evacuating the civilians and the rest of the crew's fights. Usually, Oda waits to show the entirety of Luffy's fight AFTER the rest of the crew's fights are done; but he's running all over the place with these fights. I get the point that this arc is supposed to be that much easier that we're seeing it offscreen, but I'm kind of annoyed just to get the little snippets shown in a really fragmented style like this.
About the overall quality of the fights, though- kinda lame this chapter for the most part. I wish the Wadatsumi fight wasn't so disappointing. Pretty much all we saw was of Sanji teasing and provoking Wadatsumi, and neither him nor Jinbei did anything that advanced the fight. Also, poor Brook's fight got shafted by only getting a single panel of screentime. The only really good part was Zoro vs. Hyouzou, Chopper and Franky's fights were fine.
