The fakeout that annoys me the most is Pound, who went from a pretty nothing character to a really good one entirely because of the way he died.
And then it turned out he survived the giant flaming sword being swung at his neck???

Is the Snow fruit the only one currently unaccounted for?

edit: At least in the main timeline. I guess the Silence fruit hasn't been seen for a decade or two.

Unrelated to the current chapter - that one cover page where Kaya ignores a group of suitors makes me wonder if Usopp is being set up as an Odysseus figure. He's already got the "cunning" thing locked up. Is he going to get back to Syrup Village and fire a slingshot through twelve axe shafts?

Cast Werner Herzog so he can bully them into making Chopper a puppet.

If Jinney is indeed Bonney's mother, and Sanji were to end up with her, Ivankov would become Sanji's uncle-in-law. That's a fun scenario.

Y'know if all the Straw Hats wind up fulfilling their dreams, I feel like the major talking point worldwide would be less "You hear about the new Pirate King?" and more "A reindeer found the cure for cancer!?".

My earnest hope is that while Luffy faces down Blackbeard, Imu gets taken down by a sort of GamemasterAnthony situation.

I didn't much like Fishman Island, Punk Hazard or Dressrosa. My interest was honestly on the wane.

The problem for me was getting two major pieces of exposition/foreshadowing from the same character, Who's Who of all people.
He brings up both Nika and the Gum Gum fruit during his fight with Jimbei, even though he has no reason to believe they're connected. Just felt sloppy.
It's not like Nika is entirely out of nowhere, though. There's been "sun god" imagery associated with Luffy for decades.
