Nothing all that impressive plot progression wise, which was kinda shocking. The pre-break cliffhanger is usually a bigger deal. Unless of course, that was actually Sanji's brother and we're gonna get an intro next chapter. Lot of nice info drops though.

The Germa 66 are regarded as "mythical" because they are the antagonists of a fictional comic strip starring a Marine hero.

Capone may not be the brown-nosing yes man that I thought he was, and it seems like his relationship with Big Mom could potentially be against his will. He'll get put down HARD if anything happens to Sanji. It surprises no one that he's got a crewmember named Gotti, but I'm gonna go ahead and say now that I don't think that was Lola. She should have recognized Sanji instantly, and not just as another Vinsmoke. My current inclination is sister, I'd assume her Mom was more powerful than just being a Firetank Pirate. Personally I've thought it was this chick for a little while now. Sanji said they remind him of someone though, so I'm sure Lola is gonna come up eventually.

Finally, I'm ready to call it, 90% sure that Big Mom has some kind of witch fruit. She can literally "enchant" things to life. This all HAS to be majic/sorcery, I can't find any other sensible explanations. I agree on the Alice & Wonderland references, but personally I see this arc borrowing a lot more from Cindarella/Snow White. When we finally get to meet Purin, I'm confident that she opposes to the marriage too, and she's one of the many daughters that Big Mom adopted/kidnapped to marry off for power reasons. They won't get married, but Sanji will quite literally end up being her knight in shining armor when they escape.
