Liked the chapter. The last page was in my mind since i the spoilers came out.
What about the Coverstory? The jolly roger is caribous. So his brother and co took a marine ship and came after caribou. The tree canons and the size make that clear.
Bartolomeos suitcase. Is there some hidden hint to his background? I didnt see one at least. I am confused. Barto said some chapters ago that the fruit must go to "this person". Now he says "My motivations run deeper". When he talked about the fruit he didnt even now that Luffy was there. Then he sees him and now he wants to go after him. What is the connection? If he met Luffy in the past and Luffy hurt a friend of his or something he wouldnt say that the fruit going to "this person". So is his primar target the fruit or Luffy now since he knows that the strawhat is participating? Who is "that person" if we assume that the motivation Bartos talks about comes from things "that person" told him. That person must have had a problem with Luffy in the past. Who could send a powerful fighter to get the mera mera and has had problems with Luffy in the past and doesnt have a DF fruit power? Love the Barto storyline. Pretty sure that the suitcase will play a role in the future. Wouldnt suprise me if he tricks cavendish into missing his block d appearance. Taking him out, raising his odds to get to fight Luffy. That would open up the possibility for Rebecca to reach the next round without making cavendish a complete bitch
Not much else to tell about the chapter. I was pretty sure yesterday that either the granny or the little girl would be the one with the modern art DF. Brook: “In the men’s quarters, which she had slipped into…” Apparently she was the one who snuck on to the sunny. So no dwarves or monet or vergo in the quarters. At least one cliffhanger resolved. Dofla wants momo. I see to possibilities for that. Either for his DF or he has some hidden value as a bargaining chip due to his heritage (Junior Shogun or something , have a theorie about that in the crazy section)
Apparently Nami and co are not captured yet even though they are pretty fucked, but they still can make it out of that situation on their own. Otherwise this chapter had lots of "funny scenes" and a pretty emotinal one with bellamy remembering the awesomeness of Luffy. I dont see him trying to kill Luffy. I see him leaving Dressrosa with the Strawhats after the Flamingo family is destroyed as some kind of ally. The strawhats need a few allies if them taking down a yonkou otherwise it wouldnt be to realistic from my POV. Diamante seems still pretty relaxed. That will change rather soon, i hope.
Next chapter will surely continue in the colloseum, Luffys disguise will not be good much longer. If we are lucky caribous coverstory ends next week with him leaving Kaidos island and we will skip from the Colloseum either to GB or the Flower Fields.
