Feels like its been forever since we last got a new chapter. Bege's history with the Underworld was... interesting, to say the least. What's more interesting is that Big Mom is either unaware or simply unconcerned with his past. Granted, this is a woman who encourages her children to play with knives and thinks that having a mile-long hitlist is normal, but you'd think she would be more pragmatic about her underlings.

Jinbe once again shows his knack for pragmatism with this alliance proposal, and Luffy's agreement shocks pretty much everyone. Even Sanji didn't see that one coming. So much for not forgiving him. All in all, a solid exposition chapter and an exciting start to the next phase of this arc.
