A pretty good chapter, not that combat centric, more of a revelation chapter to Cp0's intentions and developments regarding their motives for wano and development on sanji's end
Momo now has to accomplish his task on his own without any external help.. which is pivotal for his character development and the safety of the capital lol
Nico robin is in danger and another intricate and compelling plot is about to be introduced pitting SHP against Cp0 the struggle begins and i believe oda will finally give Ussop the shine he needs with them since Page 1 or Ulti weren't a good match up for him and nami
We move on to the live floor and sanji's doing pretty well against multiple attacks from Queen simultaneously until Queen gets a hit in doing nothing significant to sanji and there he reveals something is definitely up with his body.. then dodges a laser and hits Queen with a good flaming kick but the same move was done more efficiently against the kraken when he used his memories go intensify his flames underwater. and did a far more devastation than against Queen who he didn't intensity his flames against .
Regardless Queen tanks it and compliments sanji for an attack that isn't executed with an enhanced leg.. Sanji wondering how Sturdy the mf is taking his DJ and says he must be able to do something about it (how about intensify your DJ genius, which i think will happen coz thats the only option left, again sanji using flame centric (frying) moves against Queen means that he knows brute strength won't work)
Queen then mocks sanji for getting serious and using his RS to which sanji says no.. ( does he mean sanji isn't serious? or does he think him wearing his RS is when he gets serious , mr funk is deluded either way) and then says he'll use his raw powers against sanji.. and launches his torso.. from his lower body ( which makes you wonder.. that just means if his snake mode is his main body then his neck should be the weakest point this could lead to sanji using his 500iq to use this info against Queen, and the fact that Queen actually felt sanji's attack beyond that lower thick body..is dope as hell.. just means if sanji intensifies his flames would scortch much deeper into Queen (should be obvious lol)
and no wonder why Marco's shock wave did more than his claw attack)
As he launched himself sanji get caught off guard with wtf is going on with Queen, and gets his shit squeezed that even proficient arnament users would have gotten their organs crushed .. but to even Queen's surprise (who thought the guy is done for and oda had him shoot himself like an idiot just to reveal sanji's awakening so much for being smarter than Vegaounk lol) sanji.. walked out of it fine (no organs ruptured?) with his now awakened body...
Sanji shocked to how similarly he has awakened to his sibling doesn't realize Queen's swinging a sword at hic neck which breaks at contact
Which is a highlight to his awakened exoskeleton (now whether DJ is a part of it is unknown.. and besides if DJ awoke in sanji in preTS assuming it was genetically modified then how come his other abilities like exoskeleton didn't manifest gradually as well (like his training with zeff made him withstand giant iron plates breaking his bones.. or Oars pummeling him..) ?assuming DJ was a part of the grand modification...sanji has been using DJ since him feeling odd.. but it hasn't changed a bit if we assume it was gradually awakening as well...
begs the question.. yes it does)
But now sanji will have to reflect over his character and use who he is and cannot escape from the sad reality and nit who he think he has become.. ( it actually seems pretty contradictory to Okama mentality of accepting who you are based on what you feel..and not what you literally are or the reality you cannot escape ig its Oda's way of introducing different mentalities or even ideologies and sanji giving up to that okama's hypnosis lol and becoming one was a part of it.. its basically oda's way of saying through sanji.. no matter what you become.. you can't escape what runs within your blood or your obligations (on that note lets go onto a tangent and take a second and say "procrastination fuc*s you up" ) )
Yamato joining the crew having infamous blood running in her vein might console or help sanji reconcile with this reality that he keeps conflicting against
OVER ALL A BANGER.
i'd give it a 7 or 6.5/10 coz bruh even tho the developments are insane.. oda made it so the latter half of the chapter regarding sanjivs awakening make sense through him getting caught up by shock.. and Queen shooting himself like an idiot when sanji should have kicked the mill then and there ot just immobile.. but oda made it so that he could reveal the awakening in a rather very contrived an unnecessary manner.. not a big fan of plot relevance.
Can Marco join the crew? His fire, flying, kicking and healing abilities are so cool.
No, we already have Marco at home.
