Although one plot hole I never could figure out is how Usopp got ahold of the keys he shot to the bridge where Franky could pick them up and free Robin.
Oh, wow, you're right! How did I miss that?
Now that is going to bug me. Maybe Sanji and Zoro went up to the roof first - but in that case, why were they down below later?
And I actually wondered (even before you said anything) whether Sanji was expecting Usopp to go up to the roof at all. I mean, when he told Usopp to figure something out, had he already guessed what Usopp could do to help, or was he just expressing confidence in Usopp's ability to think of something? Because later, when he and Zoro meet up, he says something about "the others are probably on their way to Robin now." If he didn't expect Usopp to go up to the roof, I was thinking that maybe he only realized where he was when he started shooting/singing.
Ah well, perhaps best not to look too closely at the plot holes.
The continuous battle between Luffy and Lucci is of course part of it too, but since it isn't resolved here it doesn't yet feel as significant as the other scenes. (But practically it is of course essential that Luffy engages Lucci
LOL, I felt like I needed a keystroke macro after a while for "Luffy and Lucci are still fighting." But you're right, it serves an essential function in keeping Lucci pinned down, I hadn't really thought of it like that. (I was just thinking of it as a standard "boss fight has to be saved for last" thing).
