Ah so Pica is actually a Paramythia user, I was racking my brain trying to figure how to beat a logia stone devil fruit user. Loveeeedddd Luffy and Zoro's bond being shown so much these last few episodes, can't wait to see swords clashing.

Seeing Bart fanboy over every straw hat never gets old.. This ep was a lot slower though. Looking forward to Zoro vs Pica round 2

Seeing Bartolomeo lose his mind over Robin was the funniest thing and it really broke up the tension well

Episode Context

Pure momentum. Episode 685 delivers an adrenaline-driven clash as Luffy's assembled forces push forward against the colossal threat of Pica, one of Doflamingo's top officers. The tone is relentlessly combative, with the episode leaning heavily into large-scale battlefield energy where multiple fighters contribute rather than relying on a single showdown. Zoro takes a prominent role here, showcasing the kind of raw swordsmanship that fans watch One Piece for, while the broader alliance demonstrates why teamwork matters against opponents this overwhelming. The pacing stays tight for a Toei long-running episode, avoiding excessive flashbacks or stalling. Themes of perseverance and collective strength anchor the action, and the escalating stakes make it clear that every inch of progress costs something. A satisfying war-phase episode that rewards patient Dressrosa viewers.
