I don't mind the new eye-catchers, they're not terrible. However, I didn't like this episode. It was mostly comedy (and not in a good way) - Luffy learning how to skate only to crash into the side of the track, and Nami and Usopp practicing their shtick on the Foxy captain. Plus, why did Robin exit the track, only to do what she should have done while skating (i.e., immobilize the Foxy captain)? It makes no sense. This episode seems suspiciously like filler to me.
