It was a solid enough episode.
First half wasn't the greatest thing ever(since very little happened), but what was there was done competently enough.
Second half had Tu Yong Ce and Takashi Kojima's bits of action, which were quite nice. Especially the red hawk, which they did so much justice to.
I liked how they expanded on Okiku's presence here. In the manga, aside from here cutting down a few guys blandly, we are just told more than shown that she is really strong. This episode having her perform some superhuman feats alongside Zoro(who was an absolute monster this episode, like, literally his every slash killed like 10 guys), such as blocking arrows rapidly and speed blitzing Speed, actually sold her to me really effectively as actually being worthy all that praise Luffy and Zoro give her.
So yeah, fairly okay episodes, with some really nice action highlights here and there that elevate it. Anime is still producing those screen shot worthy shots every episode(this time around Jack), and Kojima's scene was the nuttiest thing ever.
Next episode also looks good. Looking forward to seeing how they'll expand on the Law/Hawkins fight. Looks like they'll be expanding the choreography of Hawkins sword play. Judging by the preview, I think Tu Yong Ce is also on next week.
BTW; Speed has haki arrows this episode. Don't really think that's particularly controversial. She's a distinguished officer in an emperors crew, and even people who weren't members of the Kuja pirates on the island of women could use haki arrows.

Takashi Kojima is a pretty heavy weight animator, with loads of animation credits on shows like Flip Flappers, Death Parade, Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood, Space Dandy and more. Pretty sure he even solo-animated an episode of that Netflix Devil Man Crybaby series. So yeah, even though his not exactly unfamiliar with One Piece, its nice to see him as a semi consistent guest animator producing scenes like this, even if they only happen once in a while.
