User blog:Kaido King of the Beasts/Chapter 898: No One Expects the Germa Inquisition

Halfway through this chapter, I was pretty worried it was just gonna be a boring exposition chapter. The Big Mom Pirates catch up on shit, stuff gets ready to go in motion.

But then stuff got in motion real fast. And it was captivating.

I don't care for the Vinsmoke boys. I don't really know of anyone who does. But they almost make up for their lack of character with some absolutely bitchin' action pieces. It was great to see Winch Green and Sparking Red in particular, Winch Green was good enough that I didn't even feel sad when my baby Yuen got pounded into the dirt.

I will say, though, this chapter didn't satisfy me in one aspect - Sanji. He does beat some guys up in the beginning, but as things unfolded all my hopes for him to unleash some serious mass butt-kicking move was instead taken up by his siblings. Now, of course it's still too soon to complain about Sanji in this fight - it's definitely not over, and the way it ended felt rather ominous - Snack and Daifuku are also around and could provide a decent challenge as well. Now, I don't think Sanji will get a full 1v1, because I don't think we have quite the time for another grueling slugfest with a strong BMP member, but even if it's something quick like Ichiji's temporary breaking of Oven I'll be quite satisfied.

Absolute blast of the chapter. Aside from the action sequences, I really enjoyed the dialogue with the Vinsmokes' boasting of how they threw Nusstorte's army into the sea, and their reactions to the realization that Katakuri was defeated. It was raw, it was pure shock and awe.

How was the chapter? Beamed through all the right spots A delicious appetizer for a hopefully grander main course Didn't quite answer the call Adios, you good for nothing! Staw
