In the cover story, we find out the name of the mystery person honored at Ringo's shrine and it's...Kozuki...Moria?! Wut? "The Pirate of Justice"?! Huh? I...I can't...I don't know what this means. Did the people of Wano just give Moria the honorary title of "Kozuki", or is he a actual member of the Kozuki Clan? Is "Gecko" just a fake name? Is this even the same guy? I mean...Moria has been stated to have lost against Kaido before so this...kinda lines up. But, this is a werid reveal. And Yamato's cover story STILL isn't over yet! What could POSSIBLY be left?!
Roger's pouting face is something to see. Even the future King of the Pirates needs a little lovin' now and again. Poor guy.
So, I guess Shakky DID have Love Sickness for Rayleigh, after all! She just hides it better than most. And she DID just want to be chased a little. Good for her! That "love letter" is pretty direct.
"I don't want to be tied down." "Well, I DO!" Roger, your bedroom kinks need to stay private, okay? This is a all-ages manga! C'mon!
I guess Marx was the chef of the Roger Pirates. Did we know that already from a SBS? We might have. I don't remember this guy, though.
Garling scouted out God Valley and found..."something" there. Now, what could that be? And Garling already knew about "The Great One", who's almost certainly Imu. Interesting that Garling knew about Imu that far back. Maybe all the Celestial Dragons do know about Imu after all.
2 years of labor for one meal...Shakky...c'mon. I know it's the "Rip-Off Bar", but there's gotta be a limit.
Everyone on this island is REALLY into tsunderes.
And Rocks' baby-momma is NOT Shakky. I didn't think it was. I'm not sure why so many people thought it would be. Still, it would have been nice to see who it actually was who won Rocks' heart. Why you gotta offscreen that stuff, Oda? I guess Rocks getting all lovey-dovey thinking about his wife is another point in the "good guy" category. He's earning a lot of points in that category, lately. Could it be someone on Elbaph? He travels there often enough. I can't think of who it'd be, though. Unless it's...Ange, the Giant teacher? No, that's probably not right...right?
I kind of feel bad for Gloriosa. Just because Gloriosa likes some PDA, doesn't mean she doesn't deserve love.
Awww...pouty Shakky...in a APRON! Everyone's feeling pouty in this chapter.
It's kind of sweet that Gloriosa helps take care of Shakky the same way she took care of her a few chapters ago. "Sisters" looking out for each other!
I guess Harald DID try to kill Rocks for the Government. Huh. Didn't think he'd have it in him. That's some emotional whiplash, after the rest of this chapter.
D'aww...Ida continues being the best. Offering juice to rude little brat Loki.
And...we end with meeting Shanks and Shamrock's mom. Huh. I guess I didn't expect her to be a God Valley native. It kind of makes sense, though. So, was the "something" that Garling found, actually a long-thought-lost family line? Does Shanks' mom hold some secret hidden power that her boys inherited, making Shanks the Child of Destiny? Or was it something else?
So, next chapter should be Shakky getting kidnapped, at least. I'm not sure if we'll get ALL of God Valley. But, it should start in a chapter or two, as long as we don't skip it.
