Really good chapter.
Chaos is mounting all over Onigashima with not only the island soon to fall on the capital, but Kanjuro's flames set to detonate the weapons and explosives. Bringing back Kanjuro and Orochi seemed tired and pointless at first, but their actions have allowed the atmosphere to intensify. Plus it's given Yamato an important task following their bout with Kaido.
CP0 have been exposed and are coming to a head with Drake who has been monitoring them. This is pretty unprecedented since now the cracks that were showing between the Government and its military affiliate, the Marines, have now open. CP0 does not want what's happening on their end to be revealed, but with Drake, and Apoo, with incriminating evidence, that's in serious question. The Government will have to reveal its true colors sooner rather than later should the Agents fail to dispose of Drake and Apoo. And I have to say, I kinda like the Straight Man/Goof Ball dynamic that's sort of forming between Drake and Apoo. The sense of professionalism Drake and the agents bring gives the situation a bit more weight. These aren't thugs running around making a scene, but officials embroiled in a inner political power struggle that will shape the world moving forward.
Moving on to Zoro vs King, and it's so far everything I've hoped for. There's been criticisms throughout the New World era of One Piece that it's been too easy for Zoro; that he's lacked growth character and strength wise due to the lack of struggle he has had to endure. Wano was the hope Oda would alleviate those concerns, and thus far, he has in spades. Zoro's subplot has been one of the more compelling elements of the arc, for me, and he has had to overcome hardship after hardship ever since setting foot on Onigashima. From needing to save the Live Floor after Queen nearly eliminated everyone with his virus, to putting his body on the line against two Emperors, and now in a life or death duel against Kaido's strongest officer, along with the later penalties he'll have to endure after consuming the recuperative drug in order to get back into fighting shape. But like all hardships, Roronoa Zoro will overcome them, and Enma ensures he will by snapping him out of his funk, almost as a twofold response to the Shamisen playing and this battle its wielder, Zoro, cannot afford to lose. For himself, his crew, and Wano.
Ganbare, Roronoa.
