Okay, that’s one of my all time favourite colourspreads, especially Link/Erdrick Zoro and Jario.
CP-0 showing up, very good, might fight BM Pirates as well. We’ve found the ”keep the Strawhats busy“ story for after the fights are done. Gorosei, or even Im, sending Lucci? Is he on the ships themselves or back in Marijois, that room he’s in doesn’t give it away. Another bit of setup for the importance of Wano beyond this arc, which is good to see.
Yamato, full Zoan, very Okami. Hopefully setup for her to team up with the rest of the crew. I wonder if the Momotaro reference will happen, but it’ll be each one playing a vital, seperate role- Luffy beats Kaido, Momo stops the island, Yamato stops the bombs, Marco…?
Queen is truly outstanding. Like, one of the all time great One Piece secondary villains. Honestly, was howling when he shot himself out of his own body and turned into a snake. Steals every scene he’s in.
As for Sanji, well, I despise the route Oda’s went with for his powerups, have done since the RS. One thing I can’t argue against though is that the story itself is all well setup, none of this is an asspull or anything like that, I just can’t stand the direction it’s went. Zombie Sanji was a cool page.
Not sure about the next chapter. This could just be like the last chapter setting up Zoro vs King further and we cut to an entirely different set of scenes. Or it could just keep going with Sanji vs Queen and even finish it off. Would be weird for those fights to be done before frigging Raizo and Fukurokujo, but Oda might want them prepared for what happens next with CP0, and maybe give Zoro time to rest for when his medicine inevitably wears off. Either way, like last week, difference between fights Oda actually cares about and the Minks is massive.
