The chapter was really good, but I'm still waiting to see if the Viz will be more similar in translation or a bit different.
All I really want to focus on is the fact that the "CP0 Boss" gave Drake a bit of hype despite having defeated him. (It's a tiny reward in return for Drake's showing in this arc, but it's not over yet.) The guy is winded and visibly bloodied as well so I'm beginning to now think that the CP0 Member in question who fought Drake might actually be closer in strength to him instead of a good distance above him like I was previously leaning towards jusy based on the summary.
It still sucks that Drake is currently down, but I still feel like he will get back up himself or after some aid to fulfill his promise to Luffy to some degree. What was the point of having Drake make promises to Luffy and Zoro if he doesn't deliver??
Time is winding down for the CP0 and now they are the ones who need to wrap things up and leave as quickly as possible. I do wonder if they will set aside some of the little time they have left to take down Apoo and at least get the pictures back unless it's not something they care about any longer?
It does seem as though they are a bit more concerned about capturing Robin. Cipher Pol really are at it again.
King is really giving off some Zoro vibes and I like that a lot. He doesn't seem like a bad dude, just got dealt a shitty hand and decided to deal with it in thr best way that he could. I really hope we see him again on his own in a Cover Story of something.
Usopp had a really cool speech this chapter. He's always been likeable so it's great to see him acknowledged by a well known pirate like Izo.
Kid and Law versus Big Mom is ... interesting. I'm still on the fence about them actually beating her or not, and while I know Luffy said he was gonna beat Kaido, Orchid, Big Mom, and their subordinates, it doesn't look too likely at this point since he's in what is literally a battle to the death if we remember Kaido's words from much earlier on when they were fighting 1v1.
Scabbards are down (minus Izo). Sanji is down. Zoro is down. Who is going to tend to Zoro is what I want to know. He is literally by himself right now. I can't remember who is the closest to him atm, but he will definitely need medical attention and soon.
Brook and Robin are still running I assume and the fires have never stopped burning. Even if Onigashima is stopped from crashing and Kazenbo is put on some major ice, who's going to stop all thr rest of the fires???
As always, Oda leaves us with more questions than answers. 4/5 for me!
