Idiosynthesize

When I was first reading the Marineford arc in the manga, I didn't much like it. I recently marathoned the anime and I still don't like it (that pacing- my god, it was excruciating). It may very well be my least favorite arc in One Piece and yet... somehow... I wrote this honking thing about it.
