Hanata, my friend, I respect and understand that you don't like this chapter, but...if I were you, I wouldn't judge it by the fact that it came after a hiatus. Oda doesn't choose when his hiatuses happen (unlike, say, Togashi or Miura), and in the same vein he doesn't write to "make up" for them or whatnot. He writes this stuff five weeks in advance, and shit can just happen in that span of time. The merits of the chapter in a vacuum should be enough to rate it by, I think.
