First off, let me say that I hope releasing on Friday doesn't become a regular thing. I liked the release days being Wednesday/Thursday because they're otherwise hohum days, but Friday is...well, Friday.

Uholisia/however you spell her name giving Sai an epic beatdown was HILARIOUS. Betting Sai will have to face Chichilisia in a fight to the death or something now.

The speech Jinbe gave about Pedro's sacrifice was exceptional and very much needed. He already fits in perfectly with the crew. And honestly...each week I'm saving up more money to buy a ticket for the death train. I really don't see what good Pedro surviving would accomplish - remember how both Pell AND Igaram suddenly came back to life at the end of Alabasta? Yeah, that was stupid af. I hope Pedro's actions have meaning and his young spirit in an old body has passed on to better things.

It was pretty funny to see Pound again! I wonder what he's doing and what will become of him now. Also, I wasn't expecting Lola to have been the Minister of Chocolate - the first minister we had ever heard of in this arc. Looking forward to seeing what this means in terms of Pudding's relationship with Lola, because that's been one of the more intriguing parts of her character.

Finally, the part of the chapter that we were all waiting for, and got especially hyped for once we saw the chapter - Luffy vs. Katakuri! And wow - I thought Luffy would have more of a fighting chance, but Katakuri is perfectly countering his moves and giving him an epic beatdown - both with speed AND power. This is perhaps the most balanaced Yonko Commander we've seen yet, aside from maybe Marco. But...I took notice that this fight is quite similar to another fight that happened earlier this arc...



While nothing seemed to have come from that little scuffle as it was evenly matched before Brulee went off to play some tricks, I'd like it if Luffy used something he learned from that fight to overwhelm Katakuri. If he wants to put his crew in a better place, he's gotta take a look at himself and make a change!

Overall, while I thought the first 2/3 of the chapter was rather slow paced, it managed to be pretty entertaining and the fight at the end was well worth it.

How was the chapter? I love it so much I should marry it Coasting down a candy road Needs more fire 🔥 Took a gut punch of badness Staw
