I don't really understand your point here.
Haki is there yes, Haki is a spiritual power yes but this doesn't mean that when you animate it you have to go overboard with aura.
Vergo vs Smoker fight used haki but didn't use wide aura.
Luffy vs Katakuri used haki too but didn't use aura weird things except the King cobra thing and the golden cobra thing that never existed in the manga is a weak part of the fight.
Same with the cursed sword I don't mind and even can like the concept but in the previous fights the aura thing was two or three note down compared to this one and this was quite better.
About Naruto I dont mind electricity fire balls little aura etc but the moment the fights became too much aura wise and beam wise the quality dropped.
About HxH this is the same, yeah aura is a good part of the show with Nen etc but the fights were cool even with Nen because things were fluid and aura didn't go overboard
Even here with Gon it was okay and well done
Zeno vs Chrollo too was cool because they didn't do too much.
But the fights here stayed fluid, not too much beams mostly CQC and the aura were nicely put in.
Here with Zoro we barely saw Zoro's face, barely saw the haki in his swords etc the aura thing was a mess.

I don't like aura etc at all, i prefer raw CQC by miles
For me this moment is quite superior animation wise than the aura Onigiri thing

Don't get the hype ,about this blurry flashy stuff. Clean all the way. The only anime that pulled with small blurriness is mob psycho.
In this occasion they added too much fluff and unecessary purple aura that hides the armament haki that Oozes from the swords ,that seem kinda important to tell the level of armament being used. I also don't get the fixation with having the ground brake in cubes.It has been used far too many times when Toei does flashy animation.

They also failed to adapt well the Gyukimaru suprise attack and Kamazou's Scythe hit. It was more abrupt and here they took their sweet ass time. Zoro here saw the scythe coming from a mile away and they made him be stuck in the ground,while clearly it wasn't depicted that way in the manga.
Hiyori saying 3 swords was also after Zoro said three-sword style in the manga showcasing her perplexion that Zoro said something like that, while here they moved her portion before because they wanted to put all the flashy stuff of onigiri together . Bad job from the Director here, for me.

In Marineford, coc was better as simple rather than Red aura which covers all body. Cursed sword or aura like Ashura from Enies Lobby is okay. I like watching these kind of things but not like this.
There is nothing and Zoro spreads purple aura. There is no need for it.
As Rayan said, simple fights are way better like Rock Lee vs Gaara. I shouldnt have said like Naruto. Rock Lee had Eight Gate aura as well but it wasnt disturbing like this

Animation was once again amazing this episode. Same as the artwork btw.
On the downside I thought the episode was once again really slow paced and it became even more obvious during certain sequences (Luffy's filler fight, all the little flashback scenes, conversation between Law and Shinobu etc.). This could've been handled better.
So overall a 3.5/5 for me.
If we only looked at the artwork and animation, it would've been a 5/5 for OP standards.

You only have to watch one episode to see that it's the same thing 
Dragon Ball doesn't really use animated aura's nowadays, and even back then, it never used aura's quiet like that.
If anything, this is more in line with the work from the famous action animator Yutaka Nakamura. You can see how the scene episode was influenced by something from stuff like One Punch man.
Only One Piece fans would complain when their shows gets their own personal Yutaka Nakamura.
I'm aware of that, but it sucks that the animation highlight of someone's career is sort of disregarded, especially in regards to it literally being inspired and successfully replicating the work of one of the best animators in Japan.
You can't win with this fandom. People want One Piece to look like modern anime, and the most modern scene we get in the show is lambasted for being too modern?
Even if the guy is good it doesn't mean we can't criticize or that some people are forced to like it.
Some people doesn't like awesome books or movies and I won't throw rocks at them because everyone likes what they like
I prefer simplier animation with less aura and beam. Like it when it is fluid raw without too much time stop etc.
I preferred pre ts anime a lot, sabaody or thriller bark fights were quite good for me.
The new things too colorful with too much effects are not my style

More modern this is sure I don't know a lot about animation techniques or stuffs but I have eyes haha.
Better I don't know frankly I preferred the pre skip anime, it carried a lot more feelings, were better paced and for me the fights and animation were more fluid.
I can clearly see that with the special episodes that animates previous arc like Alabasta Arlong park etc and each time I prefered the old animation over the new one.

This is the part that is simply not true.
Fights in the anime have never really been as well animated as they are today. The anime has become far more ambitious in terms of being more fluid and doing stuff like using more frames per episode.
Also, while some episode of special definitely suck animation wise, some of them do genuinely have better animation than the original(namely because a lot of the originals aren't actually animated).
For example, episode of East Blue and Episode of Nami both had significantly better action animation around scenes like Luffy vs Arlong(especially the finisher), or Zoro vs Mihawk, or Sanji vs Gin.
Episode of Nami's version is more line with my sort of animation preference TBH.
I'm not going to defend the episode of's outright. There are plenty of scenes they just do down right worse(episode of Skpyiea, episode of Enies Lobby and Episode of Alabasta come to mind).
But its still worth noting that there are plenty of examples where they genuinely animated a scene significantly better than the original.
The above scenes being examples of scenes that were rather lacklustre in terms of actual animation in the original.
I think its worth thinking about the anime they get on to handle that scene as opposed to thinking about it just in terms of budget.
Different animators have different levels of skills. The animator behind the scene this episode was the best regular animator on the series(and also a legacy animator).
I'm personally nostalgic for Ryo Onishi and Naoki Tate's contributions to the series, but that won't blind me to the fact that the anime is far better off than it was before in terms of how fights are typically handled animation wise.
