Damn that does feel like they added way more than was needed to this arc in the anime version. Glad I caught they doflamingo part that was so good

Yeah the art style slightly changes, but they add a lot of lighting details that make it look extra crispy. I also believe they switched to widescreen HD format during the G8 filler arc. From here on out you'll notice the different art style changes, not just from arc to arc, but they switch out art directors for specific episodes multiple times in a single arc. It becomes very apparent from here on out.

One quick comment about what changes the anime did to this you didn't see. First in the Race all Straw Hat members participated but 1 got knocked out early and the others (Zoro, Luffy and Sanji) got caught with meal, sake and women thats where the scenes with them eating and drinking are from.
Cause they swapped out the 3rd game for another one and not the fight which Luffy participates in. Cause in the Anime they did 2 Davy Backs with some questionable Luffy decisions but more of that in later episodes. Also the scene with the boat mines were another participant for Foxy's team where they bascially participated to fuck up the Straw Hats.
This is all cut out due to One Pace. And the reason why the beginning of 207 isn't in the One Pace version cause it doesn't belong to the Long Ring Lond Island Arc it's basically the Epilogue of Skypiea.
