He's got a point you assholes. The shit HAS been dragging since the birdcage, and this chapter was no different. That was THIRTEEN PAGES, after a two week wait. That means they're about to add HELLA filler to the anime.

Anywho, there's not gonna be another break next week, and with the way this chapter was set up I'm inclined to think that next week's is gonna be pretty good. Oda literally has nowhere else he can stall now. With the way that Dagama organized everyone, all the Don Quixote Family has been accounted for now so there shouldn't be anymore roadblocks between Luffy's party making it to the Flower Field, save maybe some more fodder soldiers. If Trebol, Diamante, or Mingo decide to try and halt them now, nothing but awesomeness will come it because of WHO they're trying to stop. Sabo's fight, awesomeness. Zoro's fight, awesomeness. Franky's fight, awesomeness. Tontatta rebellion, awesomeness. If he does decide to jump into backstory again, it's backstory we've been craving for, so more awesomeness. So overall I didn't really like the slow progression of this chapter, but Oda defintely succeeded in getting me REALLY excited for next week.
