No particular thoughts. I liked the princes but I really wish the strawhats would get in the fight. Also I hate vander decken and the music choice for him was foul.

Hordy taking those energy steroids made him look like a completely different person and the anime really makes him seem much more dangerous than the manga did. It is a bit weird seeing the princes lose that easily after all the hype but Vander Decken being a total creep and crying over a rejection really balanced out the tension in the plaza

I was actually shocked seeing the princes get absolutely crushed like that and they didnt stand a chance against Hordy at all
