Posting a bit late, but I'll make a post anyway. I had kinda forgotten about the Mary announcement system already, so it hadn't registered that Kaido's win could be announced so fast and so thoroughly to the whole place. That'll probably put an end to any more flippings, at least until Luffy returns. I like the continued depiction that the beast pirate strategy seems to be "Take them alive and force them into servitude." Yeah, the death toll after this whole thing is gonna be super low.
Love everything happening in the live floor right now. Chopper's being cool, but ultimately just being humored by Queen, and Peros has dropped the sniper idea to just go full raining arrows in the middle of everyone. Hopefully the "new risks" Ceaser mentioned bring something new to the table for monster chopper though. Still feels like a largely lacking fighting style. Outside of something new… it'd be cool to see Chopper revisit his "almost" attempt to drag Linlin off the boat with him back in WCI by having him drag Queen off the island with him. Cool little suplex at terminal velocity should maybe break something to reveal how cyborg Queen is.
Kanjuro is more than a bit of a disappointing wasted opportunity for me now. Repeating the exact same scenario feels like such a waste of Kanjuro's devil fruit, and we're still not getting a glimpse that there's anything more to him than just his insanity. It's really a shame, as I had big hopes Oda would do a lot with him, but even if this arc lasts long enough for him to get back up again and we actually get there, I don't know if I want it anymore. Likewise, I completely believe the scene with Kiku would be infinitely better if Kanjuro shifted to Izo's face towards the end to make Kiku hesitate.
Kaido's moving for Momo faster than I expected. If Kinemon doesn't have some last minute weird devil fruit techniques, I imagine next it's on Shinobu to use her powers and buy time for Momo to escape. Not sure how many people are gonna have to drop before Yamato finds Kaido, but I imagine it'll be at least a few more.
I kinda hope we get the rest of the crew (Jinbe/Franky/Robin/Brook) throwing out some big finishers/inconveniencing moves and deciding to regroup with everyone. We already have half the crew heading for the live floor, so might be seeing the other half head there too so we can get another big "Screw you!" when Kaido gives them 1 last chance to surrender.
