T-Bone made it to Vice Admiral over the skip, and while they’re not a huge deal in the grand scheme of things they are assuredly so much stronger/capable than a normal human that it’s all but outright confirmed that he probably let himself die, which yeah is a huge bummer. I feel bad for the old man too, even in a children’s magic pirate comic it’s not like killing is okay but he’s clearly not happy about the outcome.

RIP T-Bone, you may be a minor joke character, but you will be missed! What a noble man!!

Anyway, my big takeaway from this chapter is: BUGGY D. CLOWN REAL!?!?!?

Shanks is gonna die for Buggy. We're gonna get an extended flashback where Shanks meets all these dumb, weak pirates in the years following Roger's execution and the main reason he keeps them around is because they remind him of the friend he wants to hang out with again.

But gently caress yeah, Buggy. You tell 'em. This coward being dragged kicking and screaming into having ambition by some of the most dismissive, ice-cold motherfuckers on the planet is some good-rear end character growth. He's both the anti-Blackbeard AND the anti-Luffy.

Buggy being legitimately inspirational, holy poo poo. :aaaaa: It's one thing to go after your dreams, it's another to admit that you gave up on them for years but then want give it another shot.

Crocodile and Mihawk want to do the typical jaded pirate laying low thing, but Buggy wants to step up despite the odds which is honestly worthy of respect. Calling it now, Buggy will be the first to become the Pirate King and beat the others to Raftel (if even for just a few moments).

Also holy poo poo, Mihawk speaking of Luffy in hushed tones shows you just how far he's come in the world.

Oda does it again!

E: I hope we actually get to hear what happened at Mariegoise next chapter, but part of me feels that it'll be another teaser as we cut away to something else.

I give a poo poo! Both about Sabo, and his gossip!

But he hasn't dished the gossip yet, and there was no way he was actually dead, so it's not a super notable story yet. Definitely looking forward to hearing the gossip next chapter, assuming we don't cut away to something completely different.

The expanding Revolutionary ranks are fun! Love all those new character designs.

I feel like it was more "it would be a pain to deal with them" rather than being actually scared of them or anything. But I totally agree, hearing Redhair, Blackbeard, and Strawhat all in the same breath was a fantastic moment!

This is the actual strongest power in One Piece. Mihawk comments on Luffy’s ability at Marineford. I think Roger made too many enemies on the Grand Line and couldn’t use this power effectively.

Calling it now:

Buggy’s arc will wrap up with it being revealed that he’s a pushover to his whole crew. Only for them to reveal they knew all along but they all still loved him as the best captain they ever had, and they’ll keep following him!

I think I'm missing something from Sabo's bit in the chapter. Did Sabo fake/delay his call from Lulusia, giving the island the Ohara treatment for no reason? Because that's a real dick move.

Nice that Garp is still giving Sengoku headaches in retirement though. Dude just wanted to share a new strain of tea cakes he came across with his boy, and Garp just ghosted all his buddies to punch an island.

yeah. Shonen isn't about having the biggest power level it's about being able to katamari up new friends, including people you beat the poo poo out of. Goku was Goku because if he beat somebody in a fight they'd be coming to his barbecues and babysitting his kids for the next 30 years. Naruto went from being the antisocial unpopular kid at school to making so many friends he became Ninja President

Luffy and Buggy are, and always have been, the Shonen Protagonists of One Piece

Lulusia was blown up for different reasons (almost certainly because of the turnover in government they were having). When the elders heard he was there they called him unlucky because it was in the midst of being Imu'd.

Yeah that was nice to see. To be fair, Mihawk has known for a long time that Luffy is really dangerous. He knew it at least as far back as Marineford. Mihawk gives respect where it's due, except for Buggy.

Though that'll change when Buggy becomes king of the pirates. Probably.

For some reason, I always thought Mihawk was kind of a "good" pirate. This chapter painted him in a different light to me.

I mean, his introductory chapter involved him cutting up an entire armada of randos he'd never met before out of sheer boredom, followed shortly after by him nearly cutting Zoro in half for daring to challenge him. Mihawk has always been a deeply amoral individual, its just that usually he doesn't give enough of a poo poo to get involved in the kind of hijinks most of the other pirates it the OP world indulge in.
