I think the chapter did add a bit of substance to this so far failing arc.

1. Brownbeard can really help the SH navigate the island quicker.

2. We've added more people to finally see that SH are alive and well, since haven't made much of a grand entrance from their 2 year absence yet.

3. We get a little more info on what CC can do, but I wouldn't consider it overpower as he needs to be near someone to remove air and anyone with observation haki would see that coming or have a gas mask on.

4. Now that CC thinks he is in complete power, it can finally start back to the SH crew

The only thing that I'm still confused on is why Franky hasn't broken away yet, yes he has cuffs on but he has lasers, tools, etc... Those cuffs/chains would be nothing to his gadgets. One flick of the wrist for him and he could shoot off everyone's chains making Vergo's time thier very short.
