The straight view:


 * A very clever flashback that can artistically explain all the question we had about Chinjao's past.


 * The battle between Luffy and Chinjao ends, Luffy is the winner and now we can focus on the other side stories.


 * Jesus Burgess declared his will to fight Luffy.


 * Bellamy is about to choose which side are he on.


 * Land of Ice entered in my palces-we-want-to-visit list.

The side view:


 * In the more trustworthy translations, Bartolomeo declares that he won't let Cavendish to harm Luffy, and I'm seeing him as someone who is on Luffy's side. Maybe he will help him against Bellamy too if he decide to become a bad guy again.


 * Cavendish gets extra focus and a lot of panel time like he have won already. Oda loves plot twists and I doubt he will win his Block, if this fight ever happens. He most likely builds this character just to destroy him with one punch or a similar humilitating way, and no, that's not gonna happen by the chick.


 * If the fight of Block D never happens then Cavendish gets so many lights just to participate in the later plot as an equal with the other 3 winners. Well, not exactly equal, but at least above loser's level.


 * The platform broke and by this I feel that Oda wants to buy time. I suppose the dwarves gonna be already under Colosseum when the platform is ready and this seems to be the more sensible way of Tournament's interruption.


 * Chinjao has his head back, maybe he will be a good guy from now on. Maybe he will get the next miniarc or a "what they do now" moment on the covers.
