Would you like to explain to me how double spreads and Queen dancing are important and have any weight for the story and the plot, except just being ''hype''?
Kinemons whole DF moment could have been completely offscreened, we know how his DF works, we don't need 2 pages of showing it again. It would be enough if someone would just mention that.
And Ussope taking out fodders...yeah, wow..
And btw. we had spoilers and even pictures of Luffy and co. in BP outfits and Queen hyping up the BP's.
Literally the first 70% of the chapter, which as barely mentioned in spoilers, save for Luffy's costume change, did more for the plot than Tobi Roppo designs lol.
-Law left with the other 6 Scabbards
-They got to Onigashima's port, que probably one of the most beautiful double spreads Oda has done in years
- Usopp's feat sniping the lookouts
- Que Kimemon's speech about "do or die" and not needing ships, as well as Brook's
- Then Kimemon's powers was shown
- We di not see the doublespread inside kaidos mansion
- We did not see Queen mentioned Numbers, Orochi's guards, and Big Mom's children before the chapter released
so yeah, the chapter HAD way more content than just Queen hyping low end Kaido soldiers, Luffy's outfit change or the Tobi Roppo spread cut in half
