Lot of interesting stuff this chapter for sure. Haven't read all the comments yet, hopefully I don't mention something that's been beat to death already.

- Zoro's visit to Ebisu Town is prefaced with "Now we got a little bit back in time". If those scenes aren't in the present, what's Zoro doing right now? What about his situation has changed that would cause Oda to feel the need to do this? I'm almost positive now that Oda intends for the "Witching Hour" Boy to be someone that crosses paths with Zoro, much like I believe Kamazou will likely cross paths with Sanji.

- Kaido going to these lengths to prevent Big Mom from getting into Wano is really playing out like a guy trying to avoid a girl he know he got pregnant, and the jokes I've seen on it are comedy gold. On a very serious note however, it's rather frightening to think of how dangerous Big Mom's powers can be in a place like Wano. There's no shortage of incredibly strong samurai/warriors to steal souls from, and there's no shortage of powerful wild beasts to make homies out of. Regardless of which of her children LinLin brought with her, she has the ability to create an entire army with little to no effort.

- Unlike Jack, where so far the actual application of "The Drought" seems to be a little ambiguous, it's no secret why "The Wildfire" fits King. Even in his human form (or maybe that was his hybrid form?) there was still fire behind him. Even if it is techinically a variation of the Dragon-Dragon fruit, the connection between a Pteranodon and the ability to emit fire is not intuitive. I wonder if it truly is an application of his devil fruit, or something else.

- Not sure what direction Oda is gonna go with this Page One fight. This is going to be Page One's debut as a fighter, and anime/manga law generally states that important characters don't take Ls upon their initial reveal without really getting to show off their stuff. Sanji is implying that he's about to:

1) Beat this guy to the point that he's out of commission for the rest of the arc. That's totally fine for someone like Sheepshead who was never really going to be much of a factor anyway, but for someone like Page One who is a HeadLiner (the only rank we know of directly below All Star - and 1 of the 6 strongest to boot) this is going to be extremely disappointing.

2.) Beat him so quickly it'll be before help arrives - Drake and Hawkins were just right by, is Sanji confident he can one-shot the guy or something?

3.) Not take a single injury himself. We already knew his obseration haki was his specialty, and he showed that he could sense Nekomamushi's power level on Zou, but has he really assessed Page One's strength and determined that he can no-diff him?
