Seems like we got an update on everyone except him this chapter. He can’t be the traitor, right? That’d be too deep for One Piece. The traitor has to be someone we don’t give a crap about or a female because, according to Oda, women are backstabbers who all have tragic backstories so they can be forgiven. Woah! Where did that Oda rant come from? I need to start meditating again.
We turn the clock two days back and work our way up to the present this chapter, in the process learning more how Kin’emon’s plan went to shit. It was traitor, basically. Whoever that person is tipped off Orochi who blew up all the bridges leading to Itachi Port. A pretty smart move. The guy’s paranoid but he ain’t no idiot. That means the weapons and fighters have no way of reaching the port in time. Did I also mention Orochi blew up the ships Franky and Usopp were rebuilding and the freaking Thousand Sunny! Holy crap! Whoever snitched on the Alliance needs a bloody good spanking.
In the present, we learn Okobore Town got burned down for protecting the Alliance and of Tsuru’s unknown status. Things keep getting worse. But, there’s hope, y’all. Luffy name-dropped Jimbei so he’s eventually coming to save the day, again. Yeah. Yeah. Luffy’s worried because Jimbei hasn’t arrived at Wano even though Big Mom has, but you know that’s a classic Oda feint. Jimbei’s probably gathering the numbers and resources he needs to get the job done. Trust me, when Jimbei arrives he’s bringing a crate full of butt whoopings for everyone.
We get a mention of possible weather problems keeping the Minks from going Sulong during the fight. Gonna be interesting how that all plays out. My guess is Kaido and Luffy will attack each other, splitting the clouds like Shanks and Whitebeard/Kaido and Big Mom did. No real issue there.
A nice chapter. We learn why the Akazaya Nine are alone at Itachi Port and just how dire the situation is. And, by dire I mean Jimbei will save the day. Oh, look! We’re finally getting the Wano flashback. Let’s see if Kozuki Oden lives up to the hype. And, no, I’m not making a Hide Yo Kids joke. I’m way too mature for that. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I got more kids comics to read. Toodaloo!
