Very packed chapter, love it. Lets see here.....

- Jinbe didn't "chicken" out. The chapter where he initially approached her CLEARLY suggests that the Sun Pirates have some kind of plan to get him out of whatever is supposed to happen. Jinbe would have known that there would a price to pay as well, far in advance of that meeting, so again, not buying it. What were those people reading? I find it hard to believe that Jinbe doing this would make WORLD news, and I doubt his affiliation with Big Mom was common knowledge from the get-go. I wanna say that was some local Totland publication.

EDIT: Nvm, that definitely said "Totto Land News"

- "Abuse" seems a little strong. Calling young Sanji's hands "precious" and cleaning them off with a towel while scolding him that he needs to preserve them doesn't seem like abuse to me. Zeff was definitely disciplining him, but it seemed more like parental scolding than him being abused.

- I don't think the BM Pirates being that well informed should have surprised anyone. We kinda already knew the infiltration was going to shit the instant Luffy and Chopper at that entire shop, and showed up to the front door of both islands in their flagship. What did catch me a little off guard was seeing Purin held against her will. I definitely have her pegged as a liar, but its starting to seem like there was a lot more truth to her story than I may have thought. I don't get how she was supposed to get Sanji, or hold off Charlotte Brulee from attacking them.

- Pekoms' predicament was a nice suprise. I was under the impression he'd slipped away to do his own thing, but a lot of the evidence suggests that he was taken by force. I still think his intentions were good with Big Mom, but he learned of a sinister plot against the Straw Hats (prob from Big Mom herself), and got taken away by Bege while trying to leave that "turn back" warning. Either way it seems Big Mom did get the story of what happened on Zou, and her orders were to have him eliminated. What really intrigues me, is how he said "you're underestimating Mama", suggesting that Bege himself might have some ulterior motives going on with this relationship. Which doesn't surprise me at all, from the scene where we first saw Chiffon talking about what could happen to Bege if things don't go well with Sanji. It seems like the children of Big Mom that are married care much more about their spouses than their loyalty to her, while the ones that aren't hitched seem to play their roles.

- Finally Caesar's role in this is gonna be interesting, I forgot they had his heart. I see him coming out of this alive, and Luffy running into him inside the laboratory. I'll still entertain Nakama talk at this point, we finally learned this chapter that Caesar actually takes his work very seriously, despite his embezzlement and foolishness. He wants to make a world-renowned scientific breakthrough, which pushes the good meter on him just enough that I can't peg him as fully evil. I don't know whats going on in the forest, but I'm positive that Perospero was responsible for the architecture of Totland.
