I continue to not have time to keep up with spoiler threads to see what's brought up in there, but at least I could get through these 6 pages before posting.
I have full confidence Apoo could just "pump up the volume" to the point you can't just block out the sound anymore. If that's all it took to render his powers useless, he'd be the supernova version of Foxy. It's probably just the base minimum of his abilities and he's not willing to go all out and ruin the party. Still holding out that there's a big background plan here between Drake and Apoo.
Haccha and all the numbers are probably drunk out of their minds right now. I keep forgetting that we're still in Act 3, so they'll probably sober up after the big tragedy and during the break until Act 4. It's getting kinda hard to tell when there's gonna be a moment for the action to break long enough to have a pause at this point… but maybe that's a sign that this is gonna drag on well past this one night.
Oof, and Big Mom continues to be the most terrifying thing in this arc. I don't envy however much of her you saw, Sanji. That's a fate far worse than the 2 years you spent training. God, I've never wanted something more in all of One Piece than proof that Big Mom's not gonna turn ally... that possibility terrifies and disgusts me.
I'm not too bothered by the Big Mom pirates getting kicked off again, but that depends on what happens next for them. Unless Marco's gonna hang around here and play gatekeeper, I see no reason why they shouldn't just recover and immediately climb again and only be a couple hours late. Unless the running gag continues and the next party to join kicks them off again... maybe a barrier from Barto or Zou blocking the path for a moment.
