- I wonder who that Octopus is gonna turn out to be. I feel like he's ultimately some kind of messenger to alert the scout crews on the shores of Wano that someone may be arriving. Or maybe he has some kind of history with another yet to be introduced character that is a Kabuki performer.

- The Sunny's face when Luffy said he had to leave it behind was priceless

- In Chapter 820, NekoMamushi mentions needing to get a Vivre card made for Kin'emon so that they can all meet up in Wano. I'm 99.9% sure this is the Vivre Card that Luffy has lost, and not his own personal one that was distributed to the Straw Hat Grand Fleet. That one in particular is too important to lose, this vivre card has to be something that wasn't as crucial. Why it was given to Luffy to hang on to of all people is beyond me, but maybe the Straw Hats have more than one.

- Shouldn't surprise anyone that the Kozuki Clan is vilified, considering Kaido and the Shogun's clear disdain for Oden and his subordinates. I wonder if there is a new Daimyo of Kuri, or if the land has become something else entirely since the Kozuki's clan's downfall.

- That was a rather impressive display of Observation Haki from Luffy, cool to see that the Katakuri fight has already had a noticeable impact on him. The funny thing though is that we already saw Sanji do this in Dressrosa, and from a much more considerable distance if I recall.

- I know the big headline of the chapter is Tama's relationship with Ace, but I'm just as curious about her connection to Momonosuke. They appear to be about the same age, appear to be from the same region, have the same goal of becoming great warriors, and have proven to be much tougher than one would initially think to give them credit for. Let the potential shipping begin. As far as her and Ace though, why would Ace promise her he was coming back? What exactly was the nature of his relationship with this 4-5 year old girl at the time? Nice though that Luffy gets to be the first to hear about it.

- Luffy doesn't explicitly tell Tama his name this chapter......how the hell did she know it at the end of the chapter?

- Not sure what to make yet of Tama's master, the Tengu guy. Tengu are traditional Japanese gods that are generally depicted as having human and avian characteristics. While not inherently evil, there's definitely a lot more to this guy than would appear. Tengu are usually worshipped by a group of mountain hermits known as the Yamabushi, and throughout history the Yamabushi have occasionally fought alongside the Samurai. So I found it quite interesting when Tama said they were the only ones that lived there up on the mountains. Can't wait to dig in more!
