Ah, Yamato was so cute as a kid. A good, brief backstory for her. Glad to see her shine, she’s strong as hell, and it above that, we’ve got more confirmation she’s going to join the crew. The rest of her backstory should be taken care of when we finally get Kaido’s. The only real thing left is for her to abandon Oden’s name and move forward as herself, which I think will happen once Luffy shows up. Hopefully it is like some Robin-esque scene. And regarding Yamato, she’s probably the one that keys Zoro in to his family history, as she will probably mistakenly identify him when they meet, and from there Hyou and the Akazaya will provide full background. Will be cool to see how Zoro ended up in the East Blue.
Also of note, more confirmation that Law and Kid are above every other supernova bar Luffy, they’re pushing Big Mom to steadily use CoC, something only Luffy accomplished against Kaido. Not that any reasonable fans needed it, but anything that helps quiet fanboys is a good thing.
Overall good chapter, with a good colorspread too. Can’t wait to see it finished, and next week should be good hopefully with Luffy’s arrival.
