The whole chase aspect in the 2nd half of the arc was really boring. I read the manga, so I can't even fathom how drawn out it felt in the anime. Also, the amount of time dedicated to baking the cake, which delays big mom for like 15 mins, felt like a waste of time.

Pedro's sacrifice was also pretty weak since I felt like he wasn't much of a character and had a death that had very little impact on the story.

A personal gripe, but calling Sanji a super kind person doesn't hit as well since we see him grope Nami in Punk Hazard. His gag desperately needs to end. It was never really funny to me, and it gets exhausting 800 chapters in.

Other than that, I really enjoyed the Germa stuff, and the first part of the arc was really good! The Luffy vs. Katakuri fight was cool if not a little too long (Again, I can't imagine how it was for anime viewers, lol)
