Nice world-building chapter, couldn't help but chuckle at the introduction of 4 new monarchs that are named after food. Not only that, but they all have some quirk about them minus the Queen that was just plain hilarious. The antics going on at Marine HQ were quite funny as well, love that Sengoku gets to hang around and troll whoever he wants. The Bondola system was very interesting, I was always curious how people made it to the top of the Red Line for Reverie, and why it was such a big deal that Fisher Tiger climbed it with his bare hands.

I'm a little thrown off by Garp's reintroduction, I was under the impression he had essentially retired to more of a general instructor role since they didn't want to let him fully retire for the sake of Marine morale. In either case, his personal escort of the Ryugu Kingdom can't have been coincidental. There is definitely something there.....either a deeper history with Neptune and the Kingdom, or Oda might give us the ever-awaited reunion between Garp and Dragon. In either case, I can almost guarantee that what Luffy did for them, as well as his recent actions were a topic of discussion between Garp and Neptune. Didn't really care for the Stelly stuff, but I did find it amusing how he is the one noticing the Revolutionaries making their move, and the other kings just blow him off. I'm not expecting any kind of huge payoff with the Sabo-Stelly story, Sabo has long cut any ties or attachment to the Goa Kingdom. However Morgans said that Garp and Dragon actually hail from there, which I believe is new information. Perhaps because of Garp taking Luffy to Dadan for care you might be able to glean that Garp had a history with the area/people, but actually being from there? Dragon seemed aware of Goa's propensity for the unspeakable when Sabo cried out to him, but to say that he GREW UP there just from that comment would have been a stretch. Like I mused before, I hope a reunion between the two is imminent. How is Luffy so much like his grandad, but Garp and Dragon are practically foils? Garp's comment to a KING that his face was annoying to look at has fully convinced me that Garp is basically a Marine Luffy.

Other things I found interesting:

- Stelly's misconception about the fishmen to me doesn't bode well for Ryugu's Kingdom's plans. I believe misconception and fear will plague their efforts. Not a coincidence Koala was discussing Ryugu with Belo Betty.

- Maybe I'm reaching, but the way Ryokugyuu referred to Sakazuki shows me that their relationship is shaky at best, just like with Fujitora's. They don't seem to see Sakazuki as a superior, but rather an equal who just happens to be in charge. Since Sakazuki won't be personally attending, I imagine he's going to be quite pissed with both of them when the RA pulls off whatever they're going to do.

- Everyone's is going to jump to this conclusion, but I actually believe there validity to it. Ryokugyuu's ability to live 3 years without eating shows that his body can sustain itself in some kind of way without it. Of course the man has a devil fruit, with the current meta of how Oda does Admirals, it's likely some kind of paramecia with a ridiculously OP ability. People are speculating that it's plant-based and that he nourishes himself with some kind of photo-synthetic ability, but people were doing this wayyyyyy before his introduction just based on the "Green" and the fact that Admirals tend to have Devil Fruits that incorporate forces of nature.
