I'm getting tired of Luffy being too dumb to endorse for Pirate King. Him immediately recognizing his (fake) Nakama would have been a fine opportunity to reinforce the 'special stuff' he is made of that makes him suitable to achieve the highest position on the totem pole, but instead we get him asking why his crew multiplied as the captives sit in front of him hissing; making him just plain 'special'.

Also kinda gruff to see Sanji lose to the old man he looks to easily outclass already because of a human shield.

The best part of these last few episodes is Big Mom's conversation with Ceasar and the disappearance of Jinbei.

I've said it before, but I am most interested in villains who's endgame I cannot see. Is Mom a philanthropist? A dis-associative psychopath? What is she trying to accomplish with the gigantification drug? What does she mean by having everyone 'sit at the same table together'? It doesn't sound like an entirely evil plan at face value... so I'm curious to see what the devious subtext is here. And slow-clap for Ceasar to have the (ig)noble gaseous balls to defraud an emperor of research money for booze and women.

Jimbei. I don't even know where to start with my speculation on you, but I don't feel like he's going to get to be the Strawhat's Helmsman...
