I thought we had a break this week, so I was glad to see we got one more chapter before having to wait two weeks. While I am eager to get what happens next, I can wait patiently more with this chapter than with the last one.
Oda's done a great job setting up a ton of different plot points that will be addressed in the second half of this story, giving us not only the changes in the World Government, but also giving sneak peaks of different islands which seem even more insane than the Grand Line. And this is just a hunch, so don't bash me for it, but I feel like Oda is hinting at Eneru's return at some point with a seemingly space alien abduction and then this other island with lightning raining down. Just a guess though.
I have a ton of thoughts about things like Garp and Sengoku retiring, leaving Ao Kiji to take over… and the hint at a possible time skip. And Buggy may become a Warlord... and what the hell was with Franky's face? Looks like he's remodeling his entire body. And Brownbeard was just a little bitch in the end. Oh and do you guys think Oda is hinting at Coby learning Haki?
Well that's it for my thoughts. I'm really exited to see what happens in the coming arc. I'm also hoping to see many characters return in the future.
