So my friend and I just finished with the Crocodile fight. Since the arc is near it's end I asked him some questions about it.
He liked all of the fights in the arc overall, Zoro's was his favorite. During Usopp + Chopper's fight he was genuinely stunned at how goofy the Dog Gun was.
A funny description he had of Zoro was that he was like one of those DnD players that just care about the combat and don't even bother with the story. He was also really taken aback by how lost Zoro got with the bomb sequence.
He had a few laugh out loud moments with Sanji's fight but he definitely hated the simping part of the fight to the point where it was almost ruined for him. But the finale made up for it.
It's going to be a long ride with Sanji if he already hates his simping this much...
He was also impacted by Vivi begging her people to stop on top of the Watch Tower.
And he said that his favorite part of the arc was when Ace blew up those Billions ships. He really likes Ace as a character...
