ACoC proves to be overrated yet again.
If it is as good as people think Zoro's bounty would've jumped to 2 billion, considering people here think like 5 characters have it.
Fishman Karate = ACoC
Skill > ACoC too
Acoc is not overatted, it allows Luffy to fight Weaponw users, and Yonko without his devil Fruit.
 
Big W to Mihawk fans.
Not a L for me, because Shanks still > or equal to Mihawk.
I am actually happy that Oda didnt did Mihawk dirty like other top tiers. I hope Mihawk, Shanks, BB and other characters live up to the hype.
 
When the last time Shanks vs Mihawk happen again? 12 years ago, when Shanks lost his hand, Mihawk lost interest in dueling him, why? did Shanks seriously got weaker after he lost his hand? how Shanks became a yonkou then? and when Mihawk got his title? well Brannew knows everything..

Maybe, like his disciple, Mihawk has a passion for discrimination
 
Did Oda write this chapter specifically to make up for shafting Zoro and dropping all his plotlines at the end of Wano? If he did, he mostly, but not entirely succeeded.

I like getting to see the little bits of the crew on the Sunny (and no Carrot or Caribou is good too, although they may still appear). In fact, I could have taken this chapter over two, one for Strawhats, one for Cross Guild and Revos.

Strawhat bounties. Being honest, not a fan of most. It’s like Oda had these all planned at the start of Wano, changed his mind during Wano about what they would achieve and then just stuck to them at the end anyway. Anyway

Chopper’s joke wasn’t especially funny at Dressrosa and it’s just obnoxious now. Give him a real bounty ffs.

I think generic raises are cheap and lacking in effort. It means Usopp in particualr gets far more than he deserves while Franky got shafted. Franky’s bounty poster presumably setup for a Sunny Mecha.

I like Robin’s.

Jinbei, Sanji, Zoro. Now, from a fanboy perspective, I love Jinbei, I can laugh at Sanji fans. I am delighted that it looks like Oda will keep Jinbei as a top four guy. This does remind me that really, Jinbei should have beaten Jack instead of wasting him on trashing WW (which cost Brook a fight). And I think Zoro’s is too low.

Honestly, think it would have made more sense for Jinbei and Sanji to swap bounties and Zoro just having a flat 1.2 billion. I don’t really get these numbers, but oh well. It is what it is. Sucks to be Sanji.

Cross Guild. I fucking love CG. It’s the best thing Oda’s done in years. I was never worried that Mihawk wouldn’t be strong- what I was worried about was that he would just be this strong guy that Zoro and Shanks has fought and that is the extent of his role. This is a very, very welcome change. First, that’s it’s giving him other characters to play off- and two of my favourites to boot. Second, we’re getting an interesting Mihawk backstory. A Marine Hunter? That’s very interesting considering how little there is to benefit someone in doing that. Also, a hint at being betrayed in the past? Was Mihawk betrayed by Marines and that’s why he hunted them?

Mihawk and Croc bullying Buggy is excellent, especially since it seems some folk here genuinely needed reminded what Buggy’s gag is. He’s fucking fodder. He rises to positions he does not deserve. Croc showing more charisma in a few pages than the Wano villains did in 150 fucking chapters.

CG bounties

Is Croc’s complete and utter fanservice? Yes. Do I care? No, because I’m one of the fans it’s servicing. If Oda wants to make Croc insanely strong than be my guest.

Buggy. Lol.

Mihawk. Had to be that high, cause Kid and Law’s was so stupidly high despite havig garbage crews. I find two things interesting about it

-he’s now, roughly, 2.5 billion away from Zoro, which is the same distance Luffy is from Roger.

-there’s a ~500 mil difference between Mihawk and Shanks… the same as between Roger and Whitebeard.

Think both could be deliberate. You just know the line comparing him to Shanks has been done deliberately by Oda to stir some fan wars, I still think we’re going to see Shanks and Mihawk as the mid-gen Roger (Shanks) and WB (Mihawk).

The RA: now, please god Oda, I’m on bended knees here. You’re giving Mihawk great stuff. Do the same for Dragon, please. Hell, let him kill Sabo if he wants, idc. With Kuma’s state and the coverstory I think the next arc (or, if the next arc is short, the next big one) could be the RA trying to get Kuma healed by Vegapunk, meeting the Strawhats, along with Caeser and Germa for some MADS reunions. It does seem that some mix of the RA, CG and Shanks are the next big plotline.

And of course, this is interesting because someone seems to have sunk right into the background where he delights in being- Blackbeard. This is where he shines, when the world’s eyes are elsewhere. As far as everyone else is concerned- at least bounty wise- he’s not that big a threat. He will do something huge at some point to disabuse them of that notion.

Also as an aside, I think we can just dismiss Blackbeard’s current bounty and the fifth emperor thing. I think Oda just doesn’t care about Blackbeard’s bounty compared to everyone else until it rises to it’s peak, which will be 5 billion plus.

And I think we can just flat put ignore Wano Luffy being the fifth emperor. I don’t think it was mentioned once in Wano, Oda’s giving people like Croc a bounty over it, it just seems like an idea Oda had one chapter then decided he didn’t like it right after.

Anyway, for bounties I’m interesting in seeing Mihawk vs Ray (and to a lesser extent, Oden). Also thinking that the RH and the eventual BB bounties might make the old Yonko ones we’ve seen look like shit. Like, I’m not going to be surprised if random folk like Lime Juice and Vasco Shot have billion plus bounties over Katakuri and if Beckman is 2 to 3 billion himself.
Great review and analysis, I think the same as most of what you've written here.

I like Robin's and Jinbe's bounties, but yeah, Jinbe should've been the one fighting Jack, but instead we got the disappointing injured Inu vs injured Jack. Zoro's and Sanji's bounties should've been higher for beating All-Stars, especially Zoro's, considering everything he did during the raid. I think Franky got done dirtiest, he beat a Tobi Roppo, and his bounty increase is just as same as Nami, Usopp, and Brook, who mostly did nothing during the raid. Chopper's bounty gag isn't even funny anymore, it's overused. But well, it is what it is.

With how much hype Oda gave to Mihawk, I also hope he also did the same to Dragon. I'm really curious about what Sabo is about to inform, I hope we get to learn what happened during the Reverie, what happened to Vivi and Cobra, etc.

As expected this is mostly a chill chapter, but I wished Oda could've separated Straw Hats and Cross Guild bounties into two chapters, as the pacing is quite messy, especially for Straw Hats part.
 
It's a very good chapter. Bounties about Mugiwaras have really increased, I didn't expect it, especially for Ussop and Jinbei. I'm glad Nico Robin finally has a bounty that truly represents his dangerousness.

On the other hand, I imagined Zoro's and Sanji's bonuses to be higher.

As I thought, Buggy is not the founder of the Cross Guild. Crocodile and Mihawk come up with the idea for this organization. Crocodile is at 1.9 billion Berry that's super high. Baggy is at 3 billion 189 million Berry.

Mihawk is respected at his fair value with his bounty of 3 billion 500 million berries he is the best swordsman in the world he surpasses everyone in the sword including Shanks. Shanks compensates with Haki which makes them the same level.

They are rivals. Mihawk could be emperor but he didn't feel like it at all.

Maybe we will see news about Marshall D Teach (Blackbeard) in next chapter (1059).
