Man, Apoo’s a real son of a bitch, but I’m starting to dig his character and powers. Not surprised to learn that his powers only work if you can hear him; if only the alliance had thought to bring ear plugs...or maybe Kin’emon can make them? They are technically made to place on your body
In a similar vein, Killer is increasingly cooler...he’s got the sympathy factor with the whole eating a SMILE thing, he’s sharp enough to know how Apoo’s attacks can be circumvented, and he’s a loyal friend to Kid to a self-sabotaging degree. Easy to see why he and Zoro are the only Supernovae who aren’t captains - they’re both titans in their own right.
Feel like that was a surprisingly muted initial appearance of a Number, for Haccha to just blast in and get a smaller introduction panel than even Bao Huang a couple of chapters ago.
Who’s Who wants to fight Queen as well, a detail I’m sure we all missed because we were distracted by his cat girl consorts who should now split opinion on #TeamUlti and #TeamMaria even further
Speaking of, I wonder if this will finally be the time when Sanji acts seriously in front of a female opponent...Kin’emon might also have a tough time seeing Black Maria since he’s also a pervert, and since she’s a swords(wo)man, he might be the more sensible choice to take the lead anyway, but I guess he’s going elsewhere. Chopper’s about to either get his cheeks clapped, OR clap the biggest cheeks around
I don’t think she’s legally allowed to, but Flampe can eat a dick. Sucks up to her own brother, wants to kiss her new stepdaddy’s ass, and is generally snotty...why did she even come? What fucking purpose could she POSSIBLY serve in the battle this time?
Marco/Neko/Izo’s entrance is even more badass than the spoilers made it look, holy shit!! Pretty solid ending to a really great chapter
