I really enjoyed this chapter because I got a lot of laughs out of it.
Capone's Cover Story is over, and I think Oda ended it on a good note. Capone's family had gotten a bit bigger, and I dig that he is sort of a reformed boss not just out here killing people for pleasure anymore or what have you--he really has something to live for now.
Enemies and allies falling from Kaido's attack was cool to see as well as Kiku enduring losing her arm, getting a turnicate, AND being cautirized before returning to the fight was incredible. Such willpower, such determination! She's one of the most powerful women in One Piece for sure.
Kaido was very cool here, and it seems like he is ready to tear them all done now. He's given them a chance and that's that. I'm curious to see how he will handle them. Will it be in a few chapters or stretch out to Chapter 1000?
Kin'emon's comment was also interesting. I feel like he is distinctly saying, Kaido killing them would not bring them honor--only dying WHILE taking Kaido's own life would do that.
Luffy, Jinbe, and Sanji are moving on up and thats good, but those Gifters--a Giraffe that can hardly stand and an fowl abomination, just utterly ridiculous, but so funny as well especially seeing as they were immediately taken out for the comedy!
And on the Live Floor ... a freezing hell in a since! And Queen, of course, is enjoying every moment! Even enemies are not safe from this man, and the poor Samurais that allied with them--well, no choice really!--may be having second thoughts!
There were some sad moments, Hyogoro's friend and the beast siblings--some "aww man" moments because it has to be sheer terror going through their moments. Any normal person would be terrified!
It's great to see Chopper using his brain and talking with Robin about the situation as they attempt to keep themselves from falling pray to the Ice Onis...
And then the bomb is dropped that everyone turned into an Ice Oni will die within an hour while yucking it up! Truly horrific!
Apoo straight up dipping was another humorous moment!! But it was the icing on th r cake when Queen handed the antidote to Apoo to turn it into a game, basically alluding to the game of tag meaning!
Drake has disappeared, but I wonder if he was actually struck by the bullet and will be turning himself which I think could play into Hawkins prediction of a 1% chance at living if it was actually for Drake.
Yamato was super cool this chapter and I enjoyed him giving a bit of background to Momo and Shinobu to help them understand where he stood in terms of being an ally. It was also nice to see Shinobu putting faith in Yamato finally as well! The fact that he attempted to save Momo while being so young himself was cool, but also sad because he was just a kid, but now I think he is more than ready and willing to put his life on the line for them now that he is strong enough. Also, very impressed by his durability! 5/5 for me!
