Lola and Chiffon finally coming to their senses and hugging Pound makes me forgive them for shunning him at first. I’ve said before that Capone Pez (who’s standing on his own feet for the first time on panel!!) is the only character in this series who doesn’t have daddy issues, but it looks like both women can now say the same...honestly, based on what they’ve gone through in previous arcs, they deserve this familial happiness every bit as much as the crying man himself.
Hey, did you guys know Luffy is the chosen savior of his world?? If not, don’t worry...Koby’s here to remind you, just like he has in, what, EVERY single one of his appearances as far back as the second chapter?? I like that he’s grown in strength and reputation alongside the main character, but at a certain point, we’re just gilding the lily to Hell and back
Hahahahaha, giving Jinbe the line about showing dignity when leaving a Yonko’s crew is just rich. Motherfucker, YOU gave Big Mom the chance to harm your body and/or spirit when you asked to leave her employ, then didn’t even escape her territory with your new crew!! This is why Jinbin will never be canon, all you anti-Frobiners out there...she needs a man of his word who smashes his enemies in the face with a rhino cycle, not someone who submits to them even while exiting
All right, why am I a little hyped for Usopp/Nami vs Page One/Ulti?! Is it because if done properly, this should solidify the Weak Trio as comparable to top tiers?? Is it because the similarities in the way they interact with their corresponding ally and how their soon-to-be opponents do the same should provide us with some great comedic bits in the upcoming clash?? Or is it just the fact that this means we can expect the other SHP (except the captain and his top trio) to face the rest of the Flying Six? Robin vs Black Maria CONFIRMED
Seeing Apoo reminisce about the Numbers destroying towns continues to make him so unlikable, and I’m still not sure if he’s headed for redemption or not, but I just don’t see him being relevant after this arc. Even Drake made a point of mentioning how he can’t stand the guy
Would have been SO much better to see Inu and Neko get their revenge against Jack, but their Sulong reveal was pretty badass! Nothing else in this chapter was half as awesome as that last spread, though...I’ve really grown found of the Scabbards, in particular the man who may have just had his defining moment as a character. It would go against all conventional logic, and like I said at the beginning of this post, it ain’t a party until Luffy shows up, but in this moment, I feel like Kin and company could really avenge Oden by themselves. Should be interesting to see how this shakes out next week
