I guess Alabasta is my favorite. I liked the story of this arc a lot. It also introduced lots of nice characters. I'm not a fan of hot climate, but the desert theme and the references to Ancient Egypt were interesting.

Second place goes to Marineford. It had some of the most powerful characters gathered in the same place and fighting bravely. It was also quite emotional. Even though one of my favorite chacters died at the end of it, I still find it enjoyable. Also, his death is a stepping stone for the development of the characters and for the anime itself, so I have no issues with that.

And the third one is Enies Lobby. The action was epic. It was full of emotions: sadness, frustration, determination, anger, hesitation and so on. how it ended was completely unexpected to me and I liked it.
