Not all that impressed with this chapter, and expectations are the main culprit. Oda has hyped up the Full Moon phenomenon since Zou, and while Carrot's power boost was cool, it was nothing truly mind-blowing considering the context of what's happening. At the end of the day, Carrot made light work of a bunch of fodder. Yes, she looked very cool doing it, but since it didn't occur against any big names, it's hard to be all that wowed by it when the Straw Hats are still being chased on all sides. If she had incapacitated Daifuku himself, or any of the other big names chasing them, I'd be reasonably impressed. But she fodderized a bunch of no-names and broke off a steering column. Can't exactly call myself blown away. In either case, the Beast Pirates must be stupid strong, otherwise it's hard to see this war being much of a fight assuming that Oda will make another full moon happen. Outside of Jack, most of the The Beast Pirates were getting their asses handed to them during the Zou war, and this was without the Full Moon boost. So unless there's other units of the Beast Pirates that are incredibly strong, the Mink will absolutely annihilate them.
