It's stuff like the Caesar extension that makes me wish they'd take a note from how they handled Thriller Bark and do 2 chaps = 1 ep for certain fights. In Thriller Bark, like 6 consecutive chapters toward the end were primarily action with far less dialogue than usual, and padding those out or adding the usual filler scene would've looked ridiculous, so instead we got the 6 chapters of Nightmare Luffy, taking down Oars, and defeating Moriah across 3 episodes, and it looked really good. I think the same could've been done with Caesar and maybe even Doflamingo, though again I don't mind the latter as much (and the adaptation of chapter 791 was much better than expected).
