Alright chapter. Bit unfocused though, could have done with sticking to fewer scenes.
Well, the cover story will be Niji and Yonji’s escape with Pudding’s help, will probably rescue Pekoms as well, maybe some Sun Pirates, and if Pedro’s alive that’ll be done there too. Potential for something interesting like an attack on WCI from Blackbeard or the WG since Big Mom isn’t there, but I won’t expect that.
Not really feeling the Yamato/fire demon plotline so far, but oddly, I find the regular fires throughout the island more effective as a threat than stuff like the Ice Oni from earlier. Odd.
I like the confrontation between Izo and CP0, short as it was.
Zoro being attacked by the Grim Reaper, don’t even know where to begin speculating with that one.
Kid and Law vs Big Mom, based on the usual chapter title, is over next chapter. Don’t think Oda should have off-panelled Big Mom beating them, it just contributes to his poor treatment of her and the feeling this entire fight is a side-show. Still very unconvinced with Kid being able to actually damage her- and the bull is even worse than his Awakening attack- and the rock metaphor isn’t really working for me because... we’ve really not seen Big Mom take that many attacks. Kaido, sure, Big Mom, no.
I’d say this chapter is more suggesting that their victory- they will get a victory- will be to deal a load of damage to her and stop her from getting to the roof, not a knock out. But we’ll see.
Kid being a bull and Law being a tiger is the same Momotaro reference as the new two Admirals, isn’t it?
