OOOOOH SHIT

This chapter starts off with Orochi fleeing the Capital being his usual scumbag self. (I swear everytime Orochi talks now I only hear Tekking101's Orochi voice lmao).

Zoro is in a struggle with Kyoshiro screaming for Orochi to wait for him so he can take his head lol seems logical that Orochi would just listen to you Zoro.

I love how Kyoshiro is just smirking and why is Zoro already huffing? He must really want Orochi's head (for good reason obviously) or is he being pushed?

Then the Oniwaban-shu arrive and Fukurokuju realizes that they are all the Straw Hat Pirates. Seems like Hawkins snitched lol. One member fires a shot at Zoro which he dodges even while clashing with Kyoshiro.

Fukurokuju plans that all they need to do is capture one Straw Hat and make them spill the beans. This interrogation probably would be similar to the Kamazou/Killer treatment. Just dont catch Usohachi!! Lmao

Sanji hands off O-Toko to Usopp as X-Drake consistantly tries to bite him. I love how Sanji's like "Let's get started!!" And you see all the flames by his feet but his observation is Top tier but isn't on God tier yet because Drake swung his tail caught Saanji off guard and knocked him into a building.

As he does this X-Drake states, "So you're the O-Soba Mask guy...to think that you're a Vinsmoke..." which pisses off Sanji. I would really love to see and extreme diff fight between them Sanji and X-Drake.

Brook tells Komuraski to hurry and leave the Capitol but the Oniwaban-shu has already noticed some relation between her and the Straw Hats, specifically Zoro. Brook then proceeds to pull a Danny Phantom and goes ghost again to scare off the Oniwaban-shu which worked even though last time they realized the spirit could only chase them lol

Now onto my favorite scene this chapter.

I just love how casually Law pulls up and is just standing there right next to Hawkins, sword not drawn, no mask on his face, just chilling in the middle of the commotion.

Law realizes that Bepo is missing from Shachi and Penguin. (But I swear at first he was in jail with them 🤔🤔)

Anywho, Hawkins states, "Only a fool would keep all of the hostages in one place." As he reveals to Law that he has the lives of his 3 subordinates and the only way Law could defeat him is by first taking the 3 lives of Shachi, Peguin, and Beppo. And dudeeeeeeee the look on Law's face when Hawkins showed off his power......

Law knows this is going to be a tough one. Hawkins powers are ridiculous.

Komuraski gets captured while fleeing by Fuujin and Raijin of the Oniwaban-shu and let's out a "Kyaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!" Which is heard by Sanji and you already know when he hears the voice of a woman in danger he is on the move!!

BUTTTTTTTT

Mosshead steps in to save the girl lol and Sanji's face is PRICELESS!!!

(So did Kyoshiro just sit back and grin while Zoro left from their clash to save Komuraski? I know he must be an ally on the low. He might even be the last missing Scabbard, Denjuro.)

We get a quick couple of pages where Kin'emon apologizes to Ashura Doji for burning down the My. Atama forest. Ashura Doji is pissed but seems to understand why Kin'emon did it especially after Lord Yasu died for the rebellion.

Kin'emon again asks Ashura Doji to fight with them to which he responds that he has something he needs to show Kin'emon and Inuarashi. I'm very curious as to what it is. I think we should keep a keen eye on what's going on there.

BIG MOM HAS ENTERED THE PRISON MINES

And everyone is confused like there's only one old hag who can take out steel doors, but no way she's here, I thought her ship was sunk, am I dreaming right now?!?! Lol everyone's reaction had me dying!!

How long have we been waiting for this interaction!?! Hahahah

Big Mom calls for O-Tama to come after her into the Prison Mines because she can smell the O-Shiruko. O-Kiku tells O-Tama and Momonosuke to hide outside because no one can see him.

Big Mom tells Queen to bring the o-shiruko and Queen is pissed off thinking someone was messing with him by telling Big Mom his favorite food, o-shiruko, was available.

In the midst of this Luffy uses some logic and yells that Kid and Killer will die while Queen is arguing but Queen is going Zoan form which means he's probably done arguing lol and is getting business. But how could u not get straight to business in the face of Big Mom.

Babanuki tries to warn Queen he can't keep Big Mom from food but Queen fully transforms revealing his devil fruit:

Dragon Dragon Fruit Ancient Beast - Model: Brachiosaurus.

(Natalardo on Instagram called this one out a year ago...check him out his art is awesome!!!!)

Chopper and O-Kiku are outside discussing that O-Lin is kinder than Big Mom and the enemy might be bullying her🤣

Queen, not not knowing that Luffy and Hyou ate all of his o-shiruko, states that it's all his and he won't give her a single bite. This obviously pisses off Big Mom, she yells, "Hurry up and give it to me already!!" Then fucking punches the shit outta Queen!!!

I don't see the utilization of armament Haki so the blow may not be as devastating as we think but Big Mom is a force to be reckoned with so never underestimate her. And that was the chapter!

BREAK NEXT WEEK

(I'm sad but it was well deserved)

This chapter kept me thoroughly involved, had a very good pacing, and covered mostly everything I wanted to see this week. It was really good.
