(Bah, figures I'm seeing Zoro powerlevel talk in here)
Cariou wants Drake to keep Granny safe…...okay?
If I can sum up this chapter in one word, it'd be "chaotic". Is that a good thing? Is that a bad thing? Either way, so many developments. Luffy, Zoro, and Kinemon all see the "dying" Law (latter reports the news to the Sunny team), and naturally, they all fly into action. Bastille notices them while Luffy is sent into a rage....and stopped by the sea stone bars.
Zoro is stopped by Fujitora and Doflamingo cuts him. Good, I like the fact that Oda is keeping things under control, although I can see Zoro just rebounding vs. Sanji losing has attracted its fair share of attention. Sigh....I really don't want to get into who's stronger, Zoro or Sanji, but neither was going all out. Both "fights" were barely fights. So....there?
...Meanwhile, the Big Mam pirates have shown up! ...okay, let me say my two cents on this. On one hand, I think Big Mam's (influence) is essentially adding more chaos to this arc. We're teetering dangerously close to a free-for-all; we've got an Admiral, two Warlords, CP0, rebel dwarves, the Straw Hats, talking toys, and now possibly an Emperor? It's a little overwhelming to me. Does that make sense?
But on the other hand, things are getting intense. And surely Big Mam sticking her nose into the Doflamingo-Kaidou-SAD situation is bound to piss off the strongest beast. Two Yonkous clashing is a dangerous, but very entertainingly amusing thought. It'll rock the foundations of the world even more.
....The crew all decide to take separate paths (Usopp/Robin/Franky to wreck the factory, the Sunny team to escape to Zou, and Luffy's team eager to take down Doflamingo and save Law).
Again....really good? really bad? All I know is.....show me D Block!
