While we may not have gotten any real match-up fights in the arc besides Luffy's, every member of the rescue team's had their time to shine: Nami brought down the wrath of zeus on BM, was vital against cracker and made the most of a vivre card and then some; Chopper secured Brûlee and her powers and held his own defending the sunny alongside Brook; Jinbe had some great monologues and turned the sunny into a surfboard; Brook is the undeniable MVP of the arc in my view, holding his own against BM for a moment, smashing Caramel's Photo, and being the bane of ho everywhere; et cetera. Makes sense that this replaces the standard throwdowns, considering who they're up against.

The one person sorely lacking is obviously Sanji, and i seriously hope Oda either has some serious hidden plans for the cake, or a fight waiting for him at the end of the line. He's been suffering the entire arc, he deserves a chance to work out all that frustration and show his abilities beyond kicking a cake at hyperspeed.
