Haha the dubbed version is an entirely different issue, not even gonna go into how corny/awkward some things sound in english lol. Translation wise though, I was kinda leaning on the side of expletives and how their depicted:

- Law giving Kidd a look at the Auction House in the anime, as opposed to flipping him the bird

- The use of words like "fucking", "pussy", "dickwad", and etc. that frequent the manga, but would NEVER make an appearance for an episode on say, Funimation.

- Senor Pink squeezing a girl's tits, and then ripping her bra off. Like will the anime even bother? Lol

So overall I just feel like certain elements get lost in translation or watered down at the anime level that doesn't give you the same experience. At the same time, take for example the way the anime added to Luffy taking down Hajrudin, or the clash of his Haoshoku haki with Chinjao's. To me that definitely made that clash have a more lasting impression, but there are still people that say they could have drawn it better. What exactly defines a "good" adaptation then?
