♪Is this the real life?♪ No. ♪Is this just fantasy?♪ Yes, it’s called One Piece. Let’s talk about Queen the Plague.

He’s awesome. There. That’s really all that needs to be said. He has a great design, has a fun personality, but you can just tell if he got serious, you’d be in big trouble. Also, he’s got a 1.32 billion bounty, so yeah, he’s a monster. We’re just waiting for him to go Super Saiyan. And, since no one’s told him Komurasaki’s dead— Oh! Excuse me, I meant “dead”, we’ll see him lash out at someone eventually. Presumingly, it’ll be Kyoshiro, the guy who “killed” Queen’s crush.

Raizo stole the key to the seastone cuffs right after Luffy gets in serious trouble, of course. Luffy turned down Queen’s proposal to join Kaido’s crew, of course. And, Solitare, the female vice-warden, isn’t wearing pants, of course. Come on, I had to call it out. I did like Raizo meeting Kawamatsu, one of Lord Oden’s buddies from the past. I’m guessing since he doesn’t work he’s either too dangerous to be let out or doesn’t have the limbs to work. Not sure how far Oda will go with it but at the very least Kawamatsu’s arms are gone. Who knows? If Kawamatsu has a devil fruit, maybe he’ll get around on that instead of any limbs (i.e. Perospero’s candy arm).
Hyogoro will raise the samurai army needed to take on Kaido. Bam! We got, Oda. Thanks for the sexy exposition dump. I mean, seriously, that whole bathhouse scene was straight out of Game of Thrones, throwing out plot details mixed with nudity. I half expected Nami to get pissed off and blow up the whole place with green firebombs.

Other than the exposition dump, it was a great chapter. Queen’s a hoot and now we know Old Man Hyo’s role in the story. Let’s get this prison break started, Y’all!
Hm. Now I’m in a Queen listening mood.
♫Big Mom, just killed a man
Put a fist against his head
Used my haki, now he’s dead
Big Mom, I wanted One Piece
But now I’ve gone and thrown it all away
Big Mom, oh oh
Didn’t mean to wreck your cake
If I’m not Pirate King this time tomorrow
Carry on, carry on, as if nothing really matters♫
