Not a chapter that covered much ground, but an entertaining one. Most interesting thing was Kaido and Yamato’s talk- is he literally an Oni, a different species, or speaking metaphoricall? I think literally, and I think all the other horned humans we’ve seen might be oni as well. Maybe Kaido and Moria are the same race? That panel of him where he loses his temper and starts beating down on Yamato with a demon face was very effective.
Yamato, her Gaara ice shield is clever. And the more we get of her past the more Strawhat it is- “you’re alone, nobody loves you, you can only rule people, never be friends with them, the people of Wano will never accept you, you will never leave this island, you will be Shogun”- you can count on every single thing Kaido says to her to turn out false. What’ll be interesting is how Luffy reacts now when Kaido starts saying all this stuff to her, this should be her big joining moment.
Momo’s mad dash was fun, Luffy’s endless abuse of an eight year old for being a coward will never stop being entertaining, even if he‘s twenty eight in body. I did like him manning up and opening his eyes when he learned that Kaido was in front of him.
So, that’s a volume ender. Next ten chapters will be for finishing the other fights except for maybe Big Mom. Depends on how much focus the non-Strawhat fights get whether she fits in or not
