Honestly, the time skip is where things get REALLY good. Seeing how much everyone's grown after those two years gets you hyped for the adventures in the New World. Best decision Oda made, if you ask me.
Episode 517 or Chapter 597, NO earlier, NO later. That's the magic number for the time skip. Easy to remember, right?
