Man. Let me just go ahead and say, this was the best chapter I've read in a while, and one of my favorite chapters of the entire arc.

It was really nice to see Pedro get more flashback; I'd have liked to see much more of him across the arc but I enjoyed how his story has tied in with the story of Zou as a whole. I miss the rest of the minks...also, it was neat to see Carrot emotional, we've usually only seen one emotion from her and her reaction was appropriate.

Honestly, I wasn't too surprised to see Perospero survive. He is supposed to be pretty strong, after all. Jury's still out on Pedro though. And man, Katakuri's displayed enough badassery for two Sweet Commanders (that moment when Oda doesn't even make the effort to insert Smoothie into the story). First he effortlessly handled Carrot...then we get the confrontation we've all been waiting for, him vs. Luffy. Bring it on, baby! I've been waiting almost 6 months for this. My interest in this arc has been pretty much rejuvenated. Now the Sunny should be heading to Cacao, hopefully we see more Amande bits, who knows? I'm super hyped. Excellent chapter.

How was the chapter? The one we needed, but not the one we deserved Good enough to eat Meh, but hopefully leads to a dawn of better chapters Showing some chinks in its armor Staw
