User blog comment:Rhavkin/Nothin' says Lovin' like somethin' from the Oven/@comment-24850639-20171127183756

Lot to dissect in this chapter, and I had no idea it was even out. Thought we were on break, but I must have lost track of time.

Sanji vs. Oven - I actually found myself kinda disappointed in this sequence. The Sanji I've come to know and love would have NEVER had to take a second to think about whether it was appropriate to step in and save a woman. He would have been on Oven's ass the instant he landed a blow on Chiffon, and unfortunately I didn't see this fire emerge in him when Pudding was struck by Daifuku either. I get that there was a practical side of him that had to take into account the implications of Pudding being branded a traitor, but Sanji's tendency to throw all caution to the wind when he wants to protect a woman was one of his trademark qualities that made us all love him. Including Niji, that's now 3 people that have gotten away with harming women with Sanji's knowledge of it. I want to see Sanji pay back AT LEAST ONE OF THEM tenfold. But Oven will probably be a bigger project for Bege given what he's done to his wife, Niji probably won't get his due with the Straw Hats now relying on Germa's help, and Daifuku is currently an unknown. Sanji's speed feats were cool, but he didn't do any kind of damage to Oven that was actually significant......which only fuels the flames of people that continue to trash Sanji's new world progress. It's not like Oda doesn't know that he can throw us a bone by having Oven  make some kind of comment about how powerful the attack was. Tsk tsk.

Pound - As someone else already pointed out, Chiffon not even knowing who her Dad was (despite other Charlotte children knowing) stirs up quite a bit of intrigue around the Charlotte kids relationships with their fathers. We knew that the husbands were "discarded" after Big Mom bore the children, but that doesn't explain why Pound was expecting some kind of reprieve from both Cracker and Oven, and why the aforementioned folks in addition to Brulee have referred to Pound as "father" in some kind of sense. We have yet to see Pound interact with Big Mom herself, and he's really stretching out this eventual meeting between Pound & Chiffon, so I think this is going to be pretty big, whenever it does happen.

Bege's badassery - If you don't see Bege and Luffy as legitimate allies at this point, I don't know what you've been smoking. Yes Bege is doing all of this for his wife and not the Straw Hats, but his wife IS doing this for the Straw Hats. Her passion for helping them and seeing them through will become Bege's as well, and Bege of course will not forget Luffy being instrumental in his plan while it did last. I'm hoping Bege actually does 1 v. 1 Oven, Bege is a supernova after all and we need to see some strong capabilities to earn his keep. Reputation and earning rank in a Yonko's crew is not enough. Urouge has set the bar in terms of being blown away by Supernova you wouldn't think much of, and Bege was much more infamous.

The Full Moon - InuArashi hinted at this during Zou, and Carrot's fit where she attacked Luffy and could be calmed down by nothing other than an actual carrot still has yet to be explained. We all know Carrot's joining the crew, but she still hasn't had that feat yet that truly solidfies her place, like Jinbe turning the Sunny into a surfboard. It's basically been confirmed now that Carrot will be our professor on this phenomenon of the moon, and I expect nothing less than epicness. Hopefully it's not as boring/predictable as just boosts in strength/speed/perception.

Luffy's determination - Very happy and frustrated by this at the same time. First the amount of things that happened off-panel: We get that Luffy's been jumping from island to island......but wouldn't he be doing this via the Mirro World? Assuming he doesn't know the layout of the Mirro World well enough (plus we know he's directionally challenged), how has he been continually jumping through and avoiding Katakuri? He can't literally force Brulee into telling him exactly where to go, she has every incentive to escape from his grasp and get back to her family. The issue of him being able to move so freely and quickly after Gear 4th compared to his experience in Dressrosa is still eyebrow-raising. But ignoring all of that, there's still my biggest grievance yet with this scene: Luffy wants to beat Katakuri in his prime. He said relying on Katakuri's haki depleting simply won't do, and he wants to be able to surpass him...........SO WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU RUNNING? I'm on record several times now having stated my desire for Luffy to remain in the fight and get his ass kicked while he figures out how to counter his opponent, it's those kinds of fights that made us love Luffy so much. Figuring out how to deal with Enel's mantra on the fly, being beaten within an inch of his life against Lucci and winning on pure strength of will for his crewmates, overcoming Hordy's advantages as a fishman in the water.....the list goes on. It burns me up to see Luffy run away and be protected, after his big declaration on Dressrosa that he was no longer running from Yonko, Admirals, or the like. Since Luffy is just running around rather than taking on his opponent, him coming up with a way to beat him out of nowhere will definitely seem worth an "asspull" accusation. Fight the man in person to figure out where his weaknesses are, LIKE YOU WERE DOING, instead of running around pondering your next move.
