Humour was on point this chapter, have to say.
Shinobu and Momo reacting exactly like I have done to Yamato he past few chapters was pretty damn funny.
Big Mom must have nightmares about Jinbei everytime she closes her eyes. Has ever one character been so relentlessly ridiculed by another? Since he came back in WCI it's been a non-stop stream of him humiliating her- Brook in a close second place behind her, and now Franky and Robin joining in on the fun. Quite a clumsy way of getting rid of her, but given it came and gave some lesser shown Strawhats good spotlight I'm okay enough with it. Would rather Oda just gets it out the way and puts her Perma-Lin though. Franky's the fucking man, need Nami to step up now after him putting her in place.
Usopp's deathbed recovery was hilarious.
Well, I was right about the Numbers, now just waiting to see how they tie in with Kaido's backstory.
Luffy and Zoro flat out ignoring Queen, also very funny. Sanji and King ended near enough exactly how I thought it would.
My fucking Strawhat double spread! Eight damn years for it, and this time it's not tainted by Carrot or Shinobu or Yamato like that damned starfish and Shirahoshi did in the last one! Absolutely outstanding stuff. Hope everyone's ready for another round of "X clashes with Y so that must be the fight!" Remember EL- the first fight may not be the final one.
Very, very interested to see what happens with the Strawhats now. A mad dash up to Kaido with them leaving one by one to join fights against the TR, Queen and King? Will it be Sanji vs King and Jinbei vs Queen while Zoro makes a beeline for Kaido with Luffy. Franky's just trashed a Number, he isn't fighting anything less than a TR.
My thoughts are the same as they always have been, the dust will settle down, the characters will end up in place and we'll get the fights that make the most sense, Strawhats, plus help, vs their Beast Pirate equivalents. The big curveball is still what happens with Zoro, because he is playing a role in the fight with Kaido.
