A very good chapter. I'm digging that flashback.
I feel for Kinemon and Otsuru, Oda did a good job on this one. I wasn't too interested in Kinemon beforehand. Seems like the flashback does its job well. And Oden is a cool guy. Oda has to be careful tho, that his ability of "attracting people" stays within reason. Wasn't that much of a fan, that Denjiro's reason for following Oden was basically just "fanboying", even if I can somewhat understand it within the context ->"Cool guy impresses little boy".
But I'm positive that he will do well.
But man, killing that Mountain god went against my morals. They kidnapped its child. I mean I know the reason, the narrative required it, so that Oden could get exiled and gets another "misunderstood" heroic deed, but still...
Btw that little one will probably play some minor role within the current timline later on, just like the Snake on Skypia.
