I did it. I finally got up to date with One Piece.
It's alright.
I think the message in this/the prior chapter would be better conveyed if they just let Vegapunk have a monologue instead of constantly cutting away to 17 different viewpoints, including multiple action scenes. At most, have the one interruption with the elders trying to blow shit up. The development of the elders being weirdo monsters is neat.
Also damn the fish in that emoji is ripped.
