I really liked the new episode. I thought the pacing was nice, and there was a lot happening and to digest. The only thing I didn't like was that the episode ended before Luffy said anything. Such a cliffhanger!
For one, it looks like Luffy will gain the support of the Happo Navy. Bartolomeo is a huge fan of Luffy, so he will probably end up being Luffy's ally. There is something going on with Aokiji, which causes the Blackbeard pirates to be weary. Maybe Aokiji gave them information from Punk Hazard and what Doflamingo is doing?
Then we get Rebecca with a glimpse of her back-story. She was poor, and her mother probably died trying to get them food. I'm guessing she tried to kill Luffy because she wanted to win the Fire Fire Devil Fruit. She wants to destroy Doflamingo; however, she did not know that her goals slightly align with Luffy's. I'm guessing Luffy will release the gladiators at some point, and Rebecca will help with the fight against Doflamingo. Also, I have a feeling that Luffy will eventually give Rebecca the Fire Fire Devil Fruit, although it still makes more sense to give it to someone that will be a part of the Straw Hat crew.
