Am i the only one looking forward for the next chapter ?
i'm excited for how Oda will make Usopp outsmart the enemies :D it's been a long time since i've seen usopp face a overwhelming enemy.
Usopp always blames everyone even before timeskip. Just check all his conversation. It was not new. It basically is his character to blame others and run scared.
Not sure why people complain about Usopp running away I mean sure we want character growth post timeskip but would it feel right if scaredycat Usopp just stood his ground there and fight till the enemy till his death like Zoro or Luffy would, especially after trevol just 1 hit k.o.'d an entire dwarf squad that's on average many times stronger than a human. This whole chapter is obviously a setup for him to shine and outsmart both Trebol and Sugar and Sogeking will make his New World Debut!

I agree. Usopp is not zoro or luffy who just wins by brute force.
That's the fun part about sanji he is always overpowered by the enemy and always seem to find a way.

This.
But that would have been too easy. But they even abandoned their original plan and went in arrogantly and failed miserably, so it's no wonder they didn't think of having Usoland shoot it into her mouth.
Actually, his tabasco star attack could potentially have done the same thing.
Pretty much confirmed that the toys will return to human form. Story has no-where to go unless that happens. So that's nice. ^^
Also... It didn't look like Sugar made a contract with Robin. So maybe now everyone has forgotten her she can still help. (Wow as I'm typing this the guy after me has already made the prediction! nice one! :D)

True.. it would be to easy!
I don't think Robin made the contract like Mr. Soldier (Kyros).. so she will also have a impact!
I think that's how it's going to go down, somehow Robin will make them think she is a normal toy but ends up helping Usopp/Sogeking hit her in the mouth and then everybody(dwarves + toys that become human again) gangs up on Trebol and they defeat them!
Usopp is going to get turned into a toy and she'll start eatting those grapes again and eat the wrong one because usopp accidentally switched the grapes already or some shit.
I was honestly expecting another case like the ghost girl where she tries to turn him into a toy but it doesn't work because no one remembers him anyways.
I didn't liked Ussop's reaction to the whole mess, but to be fair... he DOESN'T KNOW he's leaving Robin behind. I think he never left a nakama without looking back, and in fact sometimes he risked his life in stupid ways in order to protect them, but this time he just doesn't know. So I think it makes sense for him to run away.
Also, I'm rooting for Sogeking to make things right
I don't understand why everyone is upset at usopp, no one gets it that everyone is depending on one person and its the guy that always runs away? Its classis oda, or funny story telling in general. Still by far the best character and this next fight is probably going to solidify it.

Actually, everyone has still forgotten her, just like they forgot that Kyros was a real person. The lack of a contract just means that she's still free to move as she wants.

I am kind of disappointed that usopp has not done anything yet and also kind of disappointed that they will probably dedicated the next chapter to usopp gaining the will to fight. However I see it as necessary, as if usopp turned from a coward to a brave warrior of the sea off screen that would be more disappointing.
My prediction is that something is gonna happen and Hakuba (Cavendish's second part) is going to be able to go against the contract due to the contract being done to cavendish not Hakuba. Hakuba while weaker than Trebol will hold his own long enough for Usopp to defeat Sugar. Usopp will be against the wall thinking that trebol and sugar are after him realize no one is coming if he doesn't fight he will die. He will remember his time in training and then defeat sugar.
Pretty wild assumptions but we shall see.
Also I loled at Kinemon in disguise.
Also no one has seemed to mention that it seems fujitori has left.

Violet: Will he be okay? Luffy: Hm, Zoro? Yeah he'll be fine.
Meanwhile Zoro is facing a guy who can literally become an entire castle haha.
I like the scenes where it actually shows Luffy is capable of higher brain function. A bunch of those in this chapter, for example asking if Violet is hurt and apologizing for not blocking stuff.
I'm actually really disappointed that they're going to be falling back on joke fights for usopp. This shows no character development---I really wouldn't have minded some of the weaker SH crew gaining some badassery but it seems as though Oda isn't going in that direction.

Luffy is actually not as dumb as everybody is thinking. Yes ofc he is stupid in terms of non-combat decision making and he has the lowest patience ever. But when it comes to dire situations he is pretty decent.
Sabo will eat Mera Mera and him and Luffy will fight against Big Mom. Fire > Acid and Luffy will support Sabo with haki. Chinjao and other toys will take care of BigMom's crew.
