Loved the chapter, particularly the Kanjuro bit.
I’ll be honest, prior to this chapter, I didn’t particularly like or dislike Kanjuro. At first I thought his ability was pretty interesting but the way he’s used it till now quickly killed off any sort of enthusiasm I had about it. Fast forward to this chapter though, and he’s quickly become one of my favorite scabbards simply because of how interesting he’s turned out to be. Be it 1.) his appearance or lack thereof - what is this dude is he a slime? Lolz or did Oda purposely depict like that to emphasize he’s nothing & doesn’t have form 2.), his psyche which I think is both incredibly tragic & beautiful at the same time 3.) or his abilities, which appear to be a lot more impressive than it was initially portrayed to be - if used properly this man will be very strong.
Really excited to see what Oda has install for his character. He’s still at the harbor which puts him at risk of getting his ass kicked just as soon as he was revealed to be the Traitor but with his abilities, I reckon he can he can get to Onigashima by air if he wanted to. Whether he’d be escaping with Momo tho, I’m not sure. Would prolly be easier to dump momo’s ass & escape on his own. Also I think he’s gonna be matched up against Kinemon as I think Kin’emon is the only scabbard who could potentially be able to change him.
Also, I really liked some of the beast Pirates designs and also loved the entrance of the SHs, Heart Pirates & Kid Pirates. Seems like Kid isn’t necessarily part of the alliance so that’s a relief 😅. Also pretty dope that we are getting naval battles but doubt it’d last more then a few pages.
Lastly, do any of y’all have any idea why Oda is holding out on Neko’s Arrival? ^^’.
