Said this almost 2 years ago:
This chapter finally delivered on that brutality. This is gonna be a slow, painful chug for Luffy to win. He WILL get his major powerup. It's clear from this that G4 and AdCoC are not enough. It's slowly coming together in a big way
( I was totally wrong about BMs crew being relevant though lmao)
Ya'll don't make it easy to try and stay positive lol.
I think Wano is the point Oda has been trying to get to for almost the last 8 years. Its why fights have been offscreened through WCI especially, and the Strawhats have received minimal "growth" periods (save for like Luffy and Usopp in DR). Here, Oda has been slowly introducing Kaido's crew (we may even get more info this chapter) and reintroduced Big Mom's whole crew for a reason. NOW is the time to spend 50+ chapters dealing with 2 Yonko and their respective crews.
I think it will happen and it will be satisfying, but:
1. Prepare for the Yonko to lose, as every villain
2. Prepare for some Enies Lobby level of powerup the main characters gain to win in their respective matchups.
If thats "disappointing", then I REALLY don't understand what half of you want from this Manga. Yes, I hope its a brutal, slow crawl to victory this arc. It needs to be brutal and long just so we understand the effort takes to taking these people out.
