Also, nothing illegal.

Let's consider the start state: The top few inches of the pipe contain water while the bottom few inches contain a bubble. That water at the top has potential energy.
Now let's skip to the end. You now have just the bubble at the top so where did the water go? It moved down to make space for the bubble. That is a loss of potential energy.
