Who cares how helpful and nice Kanjuro was in Dressrosa? It was all an act. Pudding was a sweet girl helpful girl until she revealed how little she meant it and twisted the knife in. Kanjuro is worse in the sense he spat back everything his friends and allies did for him,  I mean Pudding didn't betray Sanji after he held her safely above boiling oil to spare her.

Speaking of Sanji, him disappearing this chapter instead of facing Big Mom (chivalry doesn't matter, ain't none of the alliance taking on Lilnlin solo)  is actually exciting. Every time Sanji separated himself from the crew pre-timeskip he was able to do wonders, hell with Invisibility he might be the only person capable of snatching Momo from Orochi and Kaido's clutches.

What stood out to me this chapter was that Orochi isn't underestimating the heroes, unlike every previous antagonist he knows damn well he's there's a chance he'll get stomped and is doing everything to avoid it. I think he's a Wario looking sack of shit but at least he recognizes the alliance as a threat and is rightly paranoid.
