User blog:Fliu/Chapter 977: Another Step to Onigashima

First of all, I’m glad Chiffon and Lola are reunited. It’s about time Lola learns what a horrible mother Big Mom is. Anyway, I’m sure they have a lot of catching up to do. I wonder if Lola is going to ask Gotti to marry her.

And let’s have a big round of applause for all current members of the Straw Hats being together in one place. As always, it’s great watching them kick butt like no one’s business. Also, it’s nice to have a whole chapter in which nothing went wrong. But the hard part has yet to come. I wonder how many fodders are going to get pulverized before the tough ones step in.

Based on what Jinbe said, the Sun Pirates are alright, but there is no mention of the fate of Germa Kingdom. Unlike with the Sun Pirates, I would be surprised if the Vinsmoke Family managed to escape with their kingdom. Since the Sun Pirates gave Jinbe a sendoff, I guess they are not joining the raid.

I suppose a formal introduction of the Flying Six is not too far off. If Page One confronts Sanji again, I hope Sanji beats him properly this time. How long is Drake going to maintain his cover? Is he going to fight and be defeated as a Beasts Pirate just like how Kanjuro was supposed to die as a Kozuki? If Drake is going to fight on Kaido’s side, I won’t feel sorry for him if he gets a beat down. And Kaido says he has a son. Is he adopted or is he really related to Kaido by blood?
