Episode 714 was primarily about the tantatta people. Admittedly this was met with a yawn, as I thought i knew where this episode was headed, and that it would be boring. I was pleasantly surprised by this episode, however. Leave it to One Piece to take characters you don't really care for too much, and make an episode based around them thats actually pretty good. One of the plotholes from a few episodes back is even explained, when it is revealed that Princess Mansherry has healing powers. Now we know how Sugar came back after Usopp scared the ever loving life out of her.
Though I find it hard to believe tiny little Mansherry could eat a Devil Fruit thats probably bigger than her entire body, thus bestowing upon her healing powers. This episode has its share fanservice which I found to be over the top and funny, but i'm sure this was done on purpose. I refuse to believe Oda did not intend for the scene where Mansherry was being beat to sound like a henatai scene to anybody not looking at the screen.
The best part of the episode was easily the intense moments before Leo was able to make it to the Naughty Room. The tantattas and pretty speedy, and I understand that, but I feel like we deserve an explanation as to why they're so freakishly strong. Hopefully thats explained before this whole story arc is over. All in all, this was a pretty good episode and, and its a sigh of relief to know that Sugar won't be coming back. Though I do kind of wish Lao G was revived. He is a laugh riot. Until next time: Be you. Be true. Be human.
