TRAITOR!!!!!!!

Anyway, of all the revelations in this arc, Kanjuro's treachery is the worst. How dare he pretended to mourn for Yasuie and offered to bury him when he was the reason Yasuie died in the first place. The people of Ebisu Town should beat him to a pulp. At the same time, I’m extremely sad that the Kanjuro we’ve seen up to this point was all a lie. If Kanjuro remains at the port, then what happened to Shinobu? While I still don’t have any sympathy for Orochi, I hope the Wano people can learn from past mistakes. If someone was around to stop the persecutions just like how Oden defended Kawamatsu, Inuarashi, and Nekomamushi, would things be different?

And poor Momonosuke had to be a helpless prisoner. Momonosuke and Hiyori may have Oden's blood, but they unfortunately don't have his strength. Maybe Momonosuke can become a badass after several years of hard training, but too bad he doesn’t have the time for that now. Maybe Momonosuke and Hiyori should have switched places so Momonosuke would have 20 years to grow. It's apparent that neither Kawamatsu nor Denjiro has taught Hiyori how to fight, let alone protect herself, and Momonosuke could use 20 years to become a strong warrior. I just hope Hiyori hasn’t been found, captured, and later be used as a hostage during the battle of Onigashima.

It’s a good thing that Hiyori followed Denjiro's advice of not revealing his identity. This chapter also explains how Denjiro was able to fake Hiyori's death. It was very clever that Denjiro told Hiyori to carry fake blood on her.

Aside from the harsh revelation, this chapter ends with an exciting development. The Thousand Sunny survived (as expected) and Luffy, Law, and Kid have entered the battle. I’m glad that Kid joined after all. Now, I’m waiting for Denjiro, Nekomamushi, and Jinbe to enter the stage. Knowing Sanji, he probably would try to beat up Denjiro for supposedly killing Komurasaki.
