So Jinbe decides not to go through with the roulette wheel, which causes the townspeople to laugh at him as weak (not unlike many One Piece fans I know). My best guess as to why he did it is that the king option is Fishman Island. He seems too honorable from shirking away from losing an arm or a leg. It also makes sense in terms of the story, because there wouldn't really be anything left to do with Jinbe other than having him tag along for the ride, which would be really boring. Once Jinbe IS free from Big Mom's clutches, however, I could still see her targeting Fishman Island. That, and the stuff that's gonna happen at Reverie, is definitely gonna inch Fishman Island closer to destruction per the prophecy.

Then Brook and Pedro are in Sweet City. Given that they're being hunted, I'm surprised no one recognized them at all. Pedro shows a perverted side when he looks and sees Purin in her knickers trying on dresses. This does raise some interesting things about Purin. She clearly did intend to go to the shore, and she did meet Sanji. But since Sanji was taken to Germa Kingdom, how was she going to be able to get him? For now my Purin barometer is very much on good, but there's still a lot we haven't seen...that we possibly can't see with only two eyes. And I did like the drawings of Carrot and Pedro, but doesn't Pedro have a bounty? I'd like to see his cool-looking poster. And the amount of tracking the BM Pirates have done is insane; it'll be interesting to see how on Earth the Straw Hats are going to pull this off.

Then Big Mom reveals what Caesar was doing for her, and I must say she's much more benign toward him than the past 100 chapters would suggest. Caesar blowing his funds on booze and women makes him even more hilarious of a villain, and guys if you still think he's a good candidate for nakama then you should probably reexamine your reasoning. I'm legitimately interested in what Caesar's path is gonna be since I never expected him to stick around this long. And Big Mom's desire to turn her children into giants is quite an interesting one, though it strikes me as a desire to let her family look down on everyone rather than a desire for equality.

Stuff in the Seducing Woods just got twisted as fuck. We don't know what happened to Brulee, Sanji and Purin got thrown into the mix, and there are two of everyone acting like animals. That is quite possibly the most disturbing thing I've seen in this series since I started reading it weekly.
