User blog comment:Ghmorello/Chapter 887: Hot Pounding/@comment-24769684-20171201073703

It's rare to have a chapter entirely focused on one scene and I usually like those chapters a lot. Pound was little more than comic relief and walking plot device even up to the previous chapter, but somehow in such a short period of time Oda managed to make me have feels for him. Damn.

I'm reluctant to think Pound is dead. I'm pretty convinced Pedro is dead, but at least in that case he's likely blown to smithereens. If Pound dies, then Oven will probably have a body to deal with. Though I will say if Oda goes through with a death, I'd be fully convinced that he's changed his ways.

Probably gonna have focus on Carrot and her power foreshadowing next chapter as well as hopefully more time with Luffy and Katakuri. So close to the end, I can taste it!
