I really need Robin to pop off with Demonio Fleur again for so many reasons but even more so with another female Demon/devil on the field too. The ultimate one too.
It's always the true gooners defending that pathetic design. Oda has been absolutely embarrassing since Egghead due to this but he's also obsessed with making nami pantyless too.
I like fanservice but this is just sad and stupid by him but he's gonna try to justify it with a shitty Brook gag moment and the uber gooners and Odas angels will defend it.
Oda is not defending the midlife crisis allegations.
Damn this is fucking awesome:
Lmfao:

On the cover page...Bon Kurei is back?! Man, we haven't seen Bon Kurei since 2012! (Chapter 666). I kind of wish it was a more substantial appearance than this, showing us how things are going in Impel Down, but it's something, at least.
It's recap time! Fair enough. We have been in flashback-land since last June. I guess some fans might need to be caught back up to speed on what's going on during the present day.
Scopper calls Gunko's arrow ability "strange". Not sure if it's just because he doesn't understand it, or because Oda's hinting that it's different than it appears. Or maybe I'm reading WAY too much into it. We'll see. It doesn't seem like this Devil Fruit should be a secret God Fruit, but I guess it's not impossible.
Goldberg is willing to eat people in order to get around the God's Knight's regeneration. That's kind of worrying. Noted. This guy is kind of messed up. Along with his living shield, he does seem to have some similarities to Big Mom. Maybe he's a fan?
Also, Scopper doesn't mention sensing Imu's power or anything about that Haki blast he felt (Chapter 1151). So, either he doesn't know that was Imu's Haki or he's keeping it a secret for some reason.
That spread with the Nightmare Monsters is kind of cool. Demon-Nika seem to be having fun.
Huh. Road has a little brother. Bjorn. I had to look him up, but I guess they do look similar. I guess that hairstyle that covers one eye runs in the family.
These kids couldn't reach the harbor even after that LONG backstory we just went through. These are some SLOW children. There should be a sign for that.
Brook just abandoned everybody?! I'm guessing he's preparing something to knock some sense into Gunko, but still.
Oh...Jarul's making it sound like Imu killed Harald. Which...is partially true, I guess. That's kind of clever of the old man. Good for you, Jarul! So, I guess Loki's "good" name is cleared! That's one plot line resolved quick!
"If the Harley Prophecies are true...the World is bound to face a great divide one day..." Now, that's interesting wording. I'm curious what the original Japanese text for this line is. Because, I DO wonder how literal "great divide" actually is. Given the holes in the ocean, and the possibility that the World is hollow, I kind of wonder if the entire World could end up opening up by the end of the story. Like a giant gachapon capsule. Or...maybe like a Pokeball...
"This little reversi game" Ooooh! Imu better put some ointment on that sick BURN!
300 years ago, Jarul was known as the strongest being to ever come from Elpbah. Okay. Interesting. I wonder how THAT legend got started? Time for another flashback? (Just kidding...maybe.)
And Imu...doesn't really react at all to Jarul's message. I just want to point that out. Imu doesn't rage. Or declare vengeance. Or cackle maniacally, thirsting for battle. Imu is rather...controlled here. If anything, it kind of comes across as...resigned, maybe? Which is just strange for a villain. But, not that strange if Oda is planning on giving Imu a reason for doing all this. I still believe Imu's not going to end up being the main villain, even after all this.
And Zoro has a plan! Hopefully, he doesn't get lost before he can actually do anything!
Well...that was mostly a recap chapter. Not a bad one, though. And we see the Giants still have their fighting spirit. So, that's a nice moment. I do feel like we could have moved things a *little* farther forward. But, oh well. Hopefully, next chapter Loki and everyone else shows up, so that we can get this fight started for real!
