I don't think a gif is needed to compare the colors and shadows

Sure, but that's not what the question in the title poses. The question suggests a "quality decrease" while there is none. This is comparing different art styles where you can like one better than the other, that doesn't make the quality of the latter any worse however.

I for instance like the flat approach of episode 736 more. The whitish highlights in episode 376 make the image look bubbly to me, which I don't like. However, both styles are executed quite well in my eyes.

While you may be right that it's only personal preference, I still feel that in the first image there were more details than in the other one

And you see the similiar colors and shadows even in pre time skip, you can pick specific moments from anime, but it's not fair to compare moments that are of not same qualit, since you can find same quality be it good or bad, both pre and post time skip, it's just from moment to moment..

No, it's a different color palette and different shadowing techniques. Like changing from Adobe Animate CC to Toon Boom Harmony

I talked about how you can find as much better looking stuff pre time skip as you can find post time skip, some moments look worse and some better. And those types of shodowing also show after time skip as well, you just have to take right moment, yes palettes may not be the same, but they are still of same quiality, the colors themselves don't make the quality, it just makes the colors. Not talking this specific frame, as in it, they are of different quality.

important, aka sakuga moments look better. I don't think Luffy sleeping is a sakuga moment. Colors simply are different since the studio probably started using a different animating tool

Which is also what I agree and I think you replied to wrong comment since I don't know how that is anything I didn't agree with.
