Lucci is the biggest rat. Sucks to see Stussy out of action. Sanji with the quick thinking putting Kaku out of the action is so big brained. Also did not have Zoro fighting Lucci on my bingo card at all. A surprise to be sure but a welcome one. Can't really tell if Luffy used advanced arnament or conquerors there but looks like Kizaru easily blocked it and Luffy saying they're 100x stronger as a callback to what Shakky said all those chapters ago is hype. Sucks to see another break but the live action coming out helps
Unfortunately we have a break next week, but hopefully with the Live Action out and Oda having a few weeks since his eye surgery, we get back to normal after this one.
This was a fun raising of the stakes chapter. Kizaru does seem genuinely pained that he had to son Sentomaru here, but he is still loyal to the government. Speaking of loyal, the World Government really needs to double Lucci's paycheck. The man is loyal to the government to an absurd degree, even though he really has no reason to.
The panic is starting to set up with the Strawhats. They clearly have some trauma from how badly Kizaru destroyed them at Saobody. Even Luffy seemed to be panic eating before their clash. And it looks like (although it's always hard to tell) that he went with a conqueror's haki attack against Kizaru right away, and it's effortlessly being blocked. If something doesn't interrupt this fight, we could be in for a real scrap.
Speaking of interruptions, they need to knock out York and get Vegapunk to reprogram the Seraphim like right now. This chapter re-enforced it with Kizaru, if the original order giver is unconscious/dead even someone of lower rank can give orders. So that should be no problem for Vegapunk. And with the laser defense up, it seems like the only enemies the Strawhats need to worry about right now are Kizaru and Lucci. All four Seraphim should be able to at least give the team some breathing room to get the dome down, then Vegapunk can order the Seraphm to self destruct or just go into their bubbles again so Saturn doesn't get them.
The pacifista as a huge power shift really emphasizes how big this battle actually is. It's a straight up war. Seraphim aside, the pacifists army is extremely important.
I don't think the authority chip is going to make a dent because Saturn is there and he can control the seraphim AND pacifists. Oda's prepping Saturn up as a huge chekov gun. Straw hats might win the fight and escape, but I think thr navy may get their objective minus York. York is gonna be caribou prisoner friend lol

But Saturn can't get into the lab until the laser defense is down seemingly. And the Seraphim can't be controlled over Den Den Mushi, it seems like they need to be commanded directly. So they could be useful to give the Strawhats some breathing room with Kizaru and Lucci until the shield is down and they can escape.

Absolutely. At max, the Strawhats might escape with the Stella, but the WG is definitely getting York and the Mother Flame.
Damn big brain sanji shut kaku out of the fight before he could even get up.
We're probably going to have some skirmishes until that dome comes down, then shit will hit the fan with saturn and 10 vice admirals and 50 pacifistas flooding in.
Didnt expect this so early. Great chapter, only to one again be confronted with this series greatest villain, "Break next week", but i hope Oda can get some rest.
Love the color spread this week, but I cant seem to find Robin. I like how Nami can act goofy with the boys but I wanna see Robin having fun as well.
Fucking Lucci man.. hopefully Zoro just mutilates the guy.
Since Kizaru is alone I hope that Luffy doesnt 1v1 him because that would delay the escape. Jimbei and Sanji should be able to help but I doubt it would happen.
