I refuse to discuss the logistics of how a guy chained inside a cell twenty-four/seven for over a decade cannot be surrounded by urine and feces.
Raizo discovers his old ally, Kawamatsu, is alive. Start the hype clock on that. Oh, wait, it’s already ticking for Queen. I love him. He’s so much fun and laid back. I mean, yeah, he freaks out a bit, but it never seems like he’s not in control. He’s the type of guy you want to go to Vegas with. Call me, bro. We’ll go halfsies on a hotel room. I’ll bring my Switch.
Luffy Supreme King Hakis the small fry and I love it. He’s fully mastered that ability and isn’t trying to waste time on the peanut gallery. So how will Luffy get he killer necklaces off? Kawamatsu will cut them off I’m guessing. Also, wonder if Luffy will get his wish and fight Queen. Sure, if Oda wants to “Bueno” Queen, but I think Oda’s saving his big fight for later. Maybe we’ll get a taste of what Queen can do, but nothing major.
Uh-oh! Someone’s been snitching to Kaido’s forces. I’d say Kyoshiro but that’s way too obvious. Either way, Team Nami is trapped in the bathhouse when Hawkins and X Drake show up to round up anyone with a crescent moon on their ankle. Drake’s been working out, yo. Easy up on the protein shakes, my friend. We see the return of Nami’s Happiness Punch. It knocks out all the horndogs, including Sanji. By the way, the guy’s been in a hot, humid building in full black attire for Enel knows how long perving on girls. How isn’t he dead? He should’ve sweated out every ounce of moisture, gotten heat stroke, and died of blood loss. Forget Kaido, Sanji’s the most powerful creature in One Piece.
Well thanks to Drake’s weakness to women, Team Strawhat gets away and we learn Bepo and friends got captured and Law will most likely get caught trying to free them if they don’t do something. Yep, with Luffy about to bust out of prison, everything else is going in the crapper.
We end the chapter with Zoro confronting the man who stole Shusui from him. The sword collector wants to return it to Ryuma’s grave, but Zoro’s more interested in the thief himself, well, his sword collection to be exact. Zoro’s contributing to the plan, Y’all! Good on you, Zoro.
A good chapter. Not as great as last weeks, but I love where things are going. Let’s hope Kawamatsu visits the bathhouse after breaking out prison. Unless he’s planning to fight Kaido’s forces with body order. Hm, I bet Oda’s just crazy enough to do it.
