Good chapter. Liked it better then the last honestly.

Good Points:

- Kudos to Gatz for calling out Doflamingo. He has now become one of my favourite 'fodder' characters, because we are unlikely to see him ever again after this arc, but he left a good enough impact on me in this chapter.

- Viola at least attempting to take on Doflamingo. Most people complained about someone of relevance and actual strength stalling Doflamingo rathen then fodder. Well, it happened. Even if she couldn't do much, she at least has more courage then most people on the island. Viola for next straw hat! Make it happen it Oda.

- Doflamingo using "Parasite". About damn time, was wondering when he would use that move again.

- Luffy breaking the sword with his head at the end. I don't know why, but it made me laugh out loud. Typical Luffy, I guess. He always make's quite the entrance.

Gripes:

- Rebecca. When we first met her, I liked her and wanted her to join the crew. She even has Haki, but she has steadily gotten more useless. Tired of her crying and whining. Her character had potential.

- The Birdcage is to OP. As if its still pushing everyone back, when we got Issho, Marines, Zoro, Kin'emon, Kanjuro, Bartolomeo, etc. Even with the other gladiators falling back out of commission, the others should still be enough, even Issho himself should be enough with his gravity powers and he's an Admiral as well.
