Well, several days did pass. Who knows what could’ve happened between Kaido and Big Mom’s “Deathmatch” and drinking. I say yes. What do you think, internet?

Got some great revelations coupled with more planning and buildup. Let’s talk about the fun stuff first. Hawkins is beaten by Law, revealing Scratchmen Apoo was apart of Kaido’s crew all along! He was basically trying to recruit the other two. Hawkins did the smart thing and joined while Kid and Killer got their butts kicked. The rest of the Kid Pirates are working for Team Kaido and Orochi under threat Kid will be killed if they don’t.
Who’s the person letting Law walk out of there? Kyoshiro. He hates Orochi, is working with Hiyori, blah blah blah. I’ve talked about that more than enough.
I’m assuming Zoro has Lord Oden’s Enma sword now. There’s his power-up. Boss Hyo is training Luffy so he’s getting his too. Franky and Ussop are fixing the broken ship theyre planning to use to reach Onigashima. I’m still excited about that. They’re gonna be amazing. And, the rest of the Alliance, minus Law (Hm?), are ironing out the final mission details. It’s nice seeing their plans coming together. It’s not perfect, no plan truly is, but it’s a nice balance between accomplishments and setbacks.

Five days left under the attack on Onigashima.
Scratchmen Apoo arrives at Wano. I thought he was chillin’ at Onigashima this whole time. Nope. Turns out he’s there for the party and he’s bringing The Numbers, demonic-looking creatures who may or may not be the same species as Kaido. Kaido’s been called the strongest creature. It would make since he’d have a spot for people like him in his animal-themed crew.
Speaking of Kaido, like I alluded to earlier, he and Big Mom are friends again. Going so far as teaming up to take over the world! This. This right here is what the Navy feared back when Shanks met up with Whitebeard years ago. One Yonko and their crew is bad enough, but two working together? Yikes! Forget Wano, it’s game over on the entire planet if they aren’t stopped now.

A nice chapter. The revelations saved it from being another typical buildup chapter. Big Mom and her crew fighting alongside the Animal Kingdom/Beast Pirates is a scary thought. Throw in The Numbers and we got a recipe for the hardest fight the Strawhats ever encountered. Whatever the good guys are planning doesn’t matter anymore. Everything will devolve into a brawl the likes we haven’t seen since the Marineford War. Yeah… Marco and Jinbe better hurry their butts up. Things are about to get messy.
