@last-exit-to-laughtale Good thinking on Lily as an insider. She must have gotten in pretty deep to have attracted the kind of ire Imu seemed to have for her.
Given the suggestion that the D is something that can be given to others, I wonder if we might find that rather than having been Ds all along, the Nefeltaris were made Ds in secret when they decided the fledgling WG's actions were unconscionable. So many possibilities!
It'd be fun to see the Stelly thing pay off in such an understated way. My read of 956 was that it jumps around the timeline a little though - the Morgans bit is in the past, choosing to publish the news, and all the bits with world leaders are back in the post-Reverie present as they head home. It's pretty ambiguous though.

I suppose there's the possibility that Vivi and Sabo bumped into each other (which is how she learned the news of Cobra's death) during their escape
It'd be really cool to see a Sabo and Vivi interaction here, but if we save it for a little later it might be even more fun to find out how much she believes the WG and Morgans' reports that Sabo was responsible for her dad's death. For the drama.
But the expose angle is good too. While Vivi is definitely going to have some role in the final saga, it's too soon to say exactly what. Media and communications for the Strawhats and other good guys is a fine place to start. I'd theorised for a while she might be an admin to the Grand Fleet, since Luffy isn't interested in that kind of leadership and there are presumably some transferable skills from a royal upbringing.

We had a color spread just last chapter, are we due for another so soon?
Yeah, according to the back-of-magazine next issue preview. Apparently to announce the plans for One Piece day.

While it's very likely for V107 to end in 1086, someone pointed to me that a lot of previous chapters had only 15 pages instead of the usual 17. This may indicate that V107 may get 11 chapters as well, ending in Ch 1087.
Definitely right, next week is just the first likely end point for the volume. And 107 has already had more 15 page chapters in it than the last few. But by the same measure, volume 104 only had 9 chapters for the first time since before the timeskip, even with the shorter length of modern chapters. If Oda thinks he's at a good point to leave it off, they'll stuff in more fanart and ads at the back to make up the pagecount.
