I must agree Revos didn’t show fireworks or even decent stuff. Anyway it looks like they were the only ones without any significant loss after a fight with blackbeard (I mean notable casualities) considering at this level destroying ships and islands is pretty much the least that can happen...

Yeah of course you’re right on this but I meant something different. We’re at endgame and the players on the stage now are more or less meant to be a parallel to garp, roger etc etc monsters in haki terms, able to nullify df advantages perks etc… Shanks clearly is, admirals are, Luffy got plot...

I personally would’ve loved to see more from Teach. I mean he is clearly very strong, Shanks himself stated that he was able to wound him without him being careless or something. But how Teach has been depicted until now during seen fights is somehow disappointing in this regard: only relying...

Am I getting it wrong from the scans or this would’ve been another noob loss (after Magellan, and WB) for BB without someone saving his ass from drowning after shock wille? Luck is surely on his side

Well to be honest in my opinion almost everyone’s development in this arc feels rushed. Wrongest thing about Luffy’s+Zoro’s development is that their “teachers”, 2 of the top tier personalities of one piece, didn’t even mentioned to them about what is going to be the basis to endgame fighting...

Looks like from raw pic that in the last panel all three swords used by Zoro are emitting smoke + black lightnings.

Mmmmh hard to tell what I liked the less about Zoro’s share of the chapter: Zoro’s doubting his chances of winning for nonsense reasons or King suddenly wanting to duel instead of straightforward winning a war battle. Oh and the absurd Queen’s like beak move too… very disappointing development...

I think one of the only way to make Big Mom death/defeat somehow legit would’ve been making her stab herself with Napoleon infused by her own haki thanks to a combo of Kidd’s awoken ability and Law’s one. Hopefully something interesting will happen, even tho strenght wise probably dragging her...

It is good to see the much needed “upgrades”. I still would’ve liked it more if the training years would’ve made much more difference post time skip even in “higher leagues” than what they did so far, at least for Sanji. I would’ve loved to see Emporio’s training fruits in a new...

Can’t say I like what Oda is doing with prominent characters: luffy destiny child, zoro and sanji exceptional lineages. I really liked it more when all the achievements were linked to their unwavering willpower. Sanji fire ability was far more interesting with the training/friction rather than...

Am not sure how to feel about this whole stuff. I like every strawhat and am happy when someone takes the spotlight aside from luffy. But this magic elixir stuff is really an ass pull. Wouldn’t have been better to put an half dead zoro against an half dead king (after being almost killed by...

I think the only way to see Zoro back and somehow put on a fight after being healed is for him to face someone who got equally worn out/damaged (queen/king from Marco for example). Any other way would look just not right in my opinion

Would be nice to see some development in Sanji/Zoro relationship and not having this chance go waste off paneled. Am still very eager to see every strawhat having some good spotlight and I hope next chapters will make this happen.

Of course there is room for improvement on this arc as well and I do hope every strawhat will get the fair share of development and attention well deserved. But the trend so far hasn’t been satisfactory for my personal taste. I understand that is is impossible to keep pretimeskip pace/balance of...

I agree with You. And is a pity because I like every strawhats equally. About Zoro I think the only real “improvement” has been Monet’s fight. All the other scenes were more or less reflecting the same dynamics as pre-timeskip (but is still missing a difficult 1 vs 1 fight for him like Kaku...
