RATING: B

Just as pointed in Ten's excellent review, there's absolutely nothing that can top One Piece for pure shonen goodness. As the penultimate episode of the Luffy vs. Crocodile confrontation, this chapter delivers action in *spades*

Given that Crocodile is one of the seven overlords of the entire world, Luffy's defeat is almost guaranteed, with plenty of gore laid on for good measure. Nevertheless, this episode manages to squeeze in some comic moments of its own, and amidst the rampant bloodshed, it's rather amusing to see our hero transform into Mizu-Luffy.

In any case, it's clear that the clash is finally building up to its climactic moments. Although it's impossible to stop rooting for our protagonists, it's bewildering to imagine just *how* they plan to defeat a vicious tyrant, defuse a massive bomb, and save an entire kingdom.
