I think the 'drums of liberation' Zunesha heard is Luffy figuring out Awakening or he already knew and prepared but only use it for the really really last resort as it is so dangerous for his health. The drum-like sound is literally the blood pumping even more fast than gear 2 or gear 4 ever...
Full time battle baby! hell yeaahh... but break next week... well whatever. If Luffy can already hurt BM and Kaido, will the rest be able to hurt them as well? If not then I don't see any point by bringing the other SN to the roof. Zoro can use Kinemon fire cutting skill might as well be useless...
What a chapter! Ignoring the Ace flashback that I think is a little bit overdone, this chapter has a lot of balls hahahah. I also like the naming of that new advanced armament coated punch, getting punched by a red rock must be hurt for sure. Glad that it worked though, otherwise they're done...
Okay okay, here's my thought: What if the strawhats, especially luffy, somewhat accidentally met with Kaido's son first and befriends with him just like Luffy and Shirahosi before. And then not long after that we will see him joining forces with Strawhats and co. attacking Onigashima cause...
I think if the moon effect happening again to Luffy and take him back to 20 years ago, even only for just a moment, he can meet Rodgers and that would be so cool! (that is if the time travel happened because of the moon effect)
I think Pudding is definitely valuable to the BMP as she holds probably the only power left that can guide BM to become the pirate king (if awaken). Despite some of the siblings and BM herself mocking the hell out of that 'ugly' third eye, it's still valuable as it is.
All that plausible prediction mentioned above are really good, i like the idea that Sanji could take luffy as soon as he steps out of the mirror or stealing the mirror to the air. But.... is it too plain and simple? I'm pretty sure clash will likely to happen there.
In my way of thinking, Sanji...
