On the cover page, Yamato is sumo wrestling! Why isn't Yamato wearing a mawashi? That's just disrespectful! I DEMAND fanart of Yamato in traditional sumo attire! This cover story isn't even CLOSE to over! Yamato isn't even fixing up the shrine! I honestly don't even know where this is going anymore. I'd guess eventually Yamato will visit the giant Onigashima skull underwater, but with the whole Devil Fruit thing and all, that seems pretty unlikely.
Apparently, the Othello/Reversi flipping is still active even well after the initial transformation. It's working like a zombie virus. Or "tag"/Onigokko/Kagome Kagome, if you think about it. "Tallman" is kind of so uncreative of a name for a Giant that I have to admire the audacity.
The Giant Kids are starting to dream about Devils. I guess I can't blame them. It's kind of hard to say if this is really any worse than all the other Nightmares they've dreamed up, but it's not good.
We get to see Qilingham in his hybrid form and...he's a bishonen?! I guess I didn't see that coming! He's a lot younger than I expected. He might just be the youngest of the God's Knights, it's hard to tell. It's him or Shamrock, probably. The sharp teeth are a interesting design choice. I mean, I guess he is a "dragon", so that might account for it. But, if those are just his normal teeth, I wonder if that's foreshadowing something. He almost looks like he could be part Fishman, but we'll have to wait and see on that, since that's pretty unlikely.
Usopp, if you want to call Dorry and Brogy your masters, maybe actually DO something to prove that you deserve that right!
The scary Giant mom is here to save her kids! I guess she can't do any worse than the Strawhats have.
Hmm...Imu claims King Harald "blundered". Just like Lili did with the Poneglyphs. This seem to be a repeating pattern. Imu can't seem to comprehend the idea of someone betraying them. Imu IS giving all these people the benefit of the doubt...more or less.
Chopper had NO plan when he jumped. Well, at least he has enough forms to cover himself under these kind of circumstance. So much for possibly knowing Geppo/Skywalk.
Luffy can tell it was Chopper who fell, but he doesn't know how he knows that. Yet...he doesn't seem to have sensed the Gods Knights the same way he sensed Saturn arriving on Elbaph. If that was who Luffy was sensing and not Kizaru. Interesting. Maybe ALL Abyss Users are hidden from Luffy's Voice of All Things? This is probably important, but I guess we'll see how later. It's worth noting Luffy can sense and identify Chopper but he can't identify Scopper. Mind, he only JUST met Scopper, but I would think Luffy would be able to tell it's the guy he just met and fought. Maybe this points to Scopper actually being a Abyss User?
Mosa calls again. Right before Imu shows up above. Hmm. Yeah, I think this points to Mosa being Imu. Remember, this chapter is happening BEFORE Imu started to possess Gunko. Whoever it is, Gerd and Goldberg don't seem to recognize the voice. So, I doubt it's Jarul, like some people have been speculating.
And...Gerd is the one to treat Scopper's wounds...instead of Chopper...who is literally right there. *SIGH* Yeah, okay, fine, I guess. Chopper saved his life. I guess he deserves a lunch break.
And Luffy learns that Scopper was part of Rogers crew. Took him long enough. He loves pirates, but he really doesn't care about history at all. I mean, this guy should be fairly famous around the world.
"...I was second!" Oh...Oda's just trying to stir the pot, now.
And then we get a huge Haki wave, which is likely Imu's Haki from last chapter. So, Imu JUST showed up now. We're more or less caught up to the last chapter.
...And Loki still isn't free, yet. Huh. Luffy could free Loki before he leaves to fight, but I don't know if we should count on that. Loki might get free some other way.
Well, it looks like next time Imu's going to get to see Luffy! With Imu being afraid of Joyboy's Haki, and Gunko having a fear of Nika, just wait until they both see Luffy in Gear 5! I could see both their fears just feeding on each other and making it worse. I do wonder if Luffy will just scare them both so bad that they just bail. Probably not, but I am curious what the reaction will be.
