When Sabo used that Flame Dragon King move it was over for Burgess, and it was such a necessary moment since Doflamingo won't just stay down and die already

Doflamingo just will not quit. The pacing is starting to drag with all these random people standing in the way of a guy who should have been finished by now

Episode Context

A high-urgency episode built around loyalty under fire. Luffy is completely spent after pushing himself to the limit, leaving him exposed and defenseless at the worst possible time. The weight of the episode falls on his allies. Sabo and the Corrida Colosseum gladiators step up in a major way, throwing themselves into battle to keep him alive. The pacing runs hot, cycling between dynamic combat sequences and emotionally charged moments that reinforce why these characters are willing to risk everything for each other. Themes of sacrifice and camaraderie drive every scene, and the title's invocation of the Flame Dragon King signals Sabo operating at full intensity. This is One Piece doing what it does best: making you feel the stakes of friendship through fists and fire. Action-heavy with genuine emotional payoff.
