Quick thoughts on the chapter:
- Bege, put that gat away. You're going to scare people away and get in trouble.
- Franky backtracking from 100,000 people to 5,000 people seems to hint at not all the ships at the port being destroyed.
- Some of the lines from the Yakuza seem to hint that they never planned to arrive at the port early. Hmmmm.
- OH SNAP! THAT ARMOR LOOKS SO COOL! Luffy's armor is almost 1:1 the same as the one he donned on the color spread for Chapter 310
- Robin's right about them looking like insects. It is Kabuto (beetle) armor, after all.
- Sanji got his chance to brag about his bounty to Zoro and the mosshead sliced off more of the cliff lol. The scene was so brief because it's such a pointless thing to bicker about but they're idiots, soooo...
- Carrot gets more speaking roles. Oda trying his hardest to make her not look so traitorous. >.>
- Luffy is wondering what's taking Jinbei so long to arrive. This is not a coincidence that Luffy brings this up right after Wanda mentions Nekomamushi. Some Jinbei detractors will probably use this as foreshadowing that Jinbei is dead, but they should know better.
- I never thought we'd see Holdem again. Lol, where's Batman?
- Otsuru is an MVP or at least she was until the denizens of Okobore had to open their mouths. I know why they did, but the timing was unfortunate.
- I can't believe Oda pulled this card again. No way in hell is the Sunny destroyed.
- Okay, so the bridges were blown up and the ships at Port Tokage were destroyed. How big is Wano for there to only be a single main bridge connecting to each region? I really would like a clearer scope on the scale of Wano sooner than later, Oda.
- Orochi has been underestimated too much. He's a sly, scheming snake.
- This scene with the Scabbards hit me pretty hard. You can clearly see the tears in Kin'emon's eyes now. Kin is going through hell. Having your Lord killed, being separated from your time into the future, working hard on building up a rebellion only to have them no-show, and now your wife is potentially dead? That's real heavy.
- This last moment with the Scabbards gives off Seven Samurai vibes (probably intentional) and I like the detail of the ones who aren't talking being greyed out. Very ominous.
- FLASHBACK TIME! We're finally going to learn more about the man, the myth, the legend, Kozuki Oden! This is definitely the best time to go into this flashback. The past three chapters have been building up Oden as one of the most important characters in the entire story. I wouldn't be upset if the flashback goes on for a long time. (okay, maybe not too long lol)
Shit, that was longer than I expected. So much for "quick".
