The thing is Harald wasn't totally wrong, the country improved after he started pushing back against the backwards elements of their culture and opening to ideas from the rest of the world. There's a reading of this as a critique against Japanese isolationism, but I don't really like the implications it gives the "warrior culture" stuff.
This chapter was low key so good, the climax of both Harald's progressive leadership and reformist naiveté. Elbaph is economically and socially improved through Harald's policies and yet his complete submission to the perceived superior culture of the ~~liberal world order~~ World Government is what doomed him. And to put a stamp on it, because Harald was trying to shoulder everything himself there is no popular movement in Elbaf to keep going after his death it becomes leaderless and stagnant like we see when the Strawhats arrive.
I'm sympathetic to Harald being lied to by the government, but you'd think he'd be a little more shocked by the reveal that there's actually a sole ruler of the entire World Government that he's about to have his country join.
Timeline-wise how close is this to Shanks stealing the gum gum fruit? This undercover mission to Mariegeois has me looking forward to the inevitable Shanks flashback (in 200 chapters or smth lol).
The sinister shadowy figure was lying the whole time?

Just in case you missed it, we voted last thread to try posting the discussion threads on Sundays to follow the official release instead of the TCB version.

It has been requested we move the discussion threads to follow the official release instead of the TCB release because translation quality. This would mean the thread is more consistently on Sunday mornings approximately 3 days after scanlations are out.
If you're okay with this, post 
If you prefer we continue following TCB releases, post

So if Sinwar was killed in a strike on Gaza, does that mean the talking point of Hamas' leaders hiding in Qatar is complete hasbara?
MEDICAL COMPLICATIONS TAKE MY ENERGY
Also that the "Palestinian fighters" were patients
I can't believe Hamas made him make those threats
Homie can you not instead
It's kinda funny thinking about how racist whites in the mid 00s would mock black people's names and since then those same whites are naming their kids shit like Brontley and Mykeighlla
This happened all the way back in February, the Zionists are not okay folks
