5 stars for what it was, a bounty reveal with lots of hype moments and some interesting stuff.
Sanji made the +1 billion bounty club
.
Man passed a billion, is only 68 million from Zoro (and Jimbei) and still isn't satisfied unless he's number 2. Keep them high standards, Sanji!
They even removed Vinsmoke from his bounty. Guess he's passed them and doesn't benefit from their infamy at this point. One of the Wings of the Pirate King is more important and beating Queen kinda symbolised him overcoming them.
Mihawk, World's Strongest Swordsman, even clarification given that that it includes Shanks. I still have them as near-equals but at this point it's Mihawk>=Shanks to me. Haki is simply used to amplify attacks, Mihawk trained Zoro in it and Zoro's been using it more and more as time passes, it's effectively part of Swordsmanship. I acknowledge there's still an argument to be made that Conqueror's haki is unique and Shanks' proficiency in it changes things, I just don't agree with it.
Crocodile making a comeback, great to see. One Piece's best arc villain and one of it's best characters, nice to see him brought back into the forefront of the story. They hyped his strength, fruit and connections. I expect YC1 bare minimum showings showings him in the future, along with awakening.
Hopefully Doffy makes a comeback next. Hope he joins up with Cross-Guilde.
Luffy with a 3 billion bounty, his top 3 rocking +1 billion each, Robin with 930 million, Usopp at 500 million as expected and the rest of the 9 nine Commanders was great to see.
I hope to see Blackbeard Pirates, Coby/Boa and Weevil next, along with clarification on what went down at Reverie from Sabo. I'm enjoying the chapters on world developments and the aftermath, it's been very engaging.
