Well then let's see what this chapter brought.
Cover: Heh the things the people make Oda draw. That pretty cute though, who knows maybe Croc has grown nicer since we last saw him.
Main Chapter
-
Jinbe Death Flag: Yeah it's looking that way, but wow I can see why Jinbe didn't even bother with the wheel since it put his crewmemeber on the chopping block as well. Big Mom was certainly through.
-
Guests: Uh oh, all weapons dealers. Yeah this could prove an additional problem once the assassination attempt gets underway since Luffy did kinda screw up deals with Doflamingo. Interesting designs though, especially Morgans one, HA! Curious of what Stussy's power is.
-Dogtooth: Oh c'mon, are you kidding me? This wedding is gonna be tough enough with so many enemy factions in one room but now we got a future sight guy to worry about too. This just feels like last mintue needless tension. Heck, the Luffy-Binge Allience pretty much spelled out their plan from the get go in the previous chapter. In fiction,unless it happens in real time, that's pretty much a sign the plan not gonna go off as intented. So what's the point of throwing him in here now? Just an extra opponent or something. Also I wasn't the only one thinking this guy looks like Gradus's brother, was I? Same character design, even introduced sitting cross-legged and arms folded.
-Opening Ceremony: Only thing of note was Smoothie's power here. I understand juicing people is her thing but wow didn't think they went out of their way to actually serve people's juices for their guests. Starting to wonder if the cake really is made with blood.
Final Thoughts:
Eh padding to build up tension and introducing new characters. Oda I love ya, but I kinda wanna get this shindig going already. Honestly I think two whole chapters to explain how they'll kill Big Mom was a bit much (though fun as it was to see Ceaser's hamminess and learning of Chiffon's backstory). Looks like I'll get my wish next time though…unless he does a whole chapter of the bride and groom walking down the aisle thinking of how their plans will go =P. Will admit this artwork was nice, always fun to see Oda going nuts on this two page spreads.
Predictions:
Mmm mostly to do with Aladdin, guy said he's heading out but I get the feeling he'll come back. Straw Hats will need an out when thing ineviably go south. As for the death flags, we go two: Pedro and Jinbe. I get the feeling someone's gonna die here either way and, if I had to bet, yeah I don't think it'll be Jinbe. As for Luffy, I think he's gonna come in by wedding cake, it just seems so obvious. We'll see.
