It was pretty great, apart from a few "filler" chapters. I'm planning on binge re-reading it in the near future, and I assume that it'll seem even better that way.

The lack of Sanji and co. makes sense considering Oda wanted to focus on the Grand Fleet representatives, there simply would've been way too much going on if they had stayed and not enough enemies to go around. Hopefully Oda will make up for their lack of screentime at some point, though.
