One Piece 698
When I read there'd be a break next week before the spoilers hit (once again glad I always avoid those before the chapter) I just knew there'd be a cliffhanger of this calibre. :-(
I'm not quite sure whether I like the New World being divided like this, but it's definitely an intriguing idea. It also implies that there will be fewer stand-alone island arcs and more longer sagas. Kaidou having 500 fruit could make Oda use duplicates. I guess it depends on how scientific (elaborated on by Vegapunk later, duplicates more likely) or supernatural (magical limit, left ambiguous) devil fruits are.
Doflamingo being completely taken out by Ao Kiji for the whole arc (and subsequently series probably) is unlikely seeing how long and much he's been built up. I just don't see all that Doflamingo hype as a mere introduction to Kaidou. He'll probably get away right away or after realizing how much stronger Ao Kiji is after fighting a bit.
Franky's new haircuts all the time are so weird.
I like how he reacts just like Chopper to perceived praise.
We all know this is just so we can get all-over-the-world reactions when he takes down the first Yonkou or something like that and we'll like it then. It's understandable enough that the assessments of Luffy and Law are like this that I don't mind it.
Luffy saying "Our crew and Tora-kun's/Trafy's crew" makes it likely we'll see them in the next arc. Law might've told Luffy something about his crew's whereabouts when he made the alliance so Luffy can say that with certainty.
My favorite comedy part of the chapter.
Considering his hand movements whenever he used what we assumed to be his fruit powers in the past it's pretty obvious that his devil fruit is something like that. It's probably the most common theory for his powers.
