1: Marco and Big Mom clash for a bit. Prometheus is actually being damaged by Marco's phoenix flames (though it was stated earlier that they don't burn or spread like normal fire- maybe it has a special effect on souls?).
2: Perospero almost has a shot at killing Marco, saying he's wanted to kill him for a while now. Carrot and Wanda, both in Sulong, intercept and are prepared to beat the everloving piss out of Perospero after the entire Pedro incident (although Peros does point out that Pedro technically blew himself up). Big Mom decides to go elsewhere, Marco tails her while the Sulongs handle the candy man.
3: Apoo is not having a good day. The other Beast Pirates are begging him for the cure to the Ice Oni virus, but he can't give it up or Queen will kill him as punishment. Zoro wants to go help out the Red Scabbards and thinks that fighting Apoo is a waste of time, so he leaves him to X Drake.
4: Queen is angry because X Drake changed sides after he was found out (did he just expect Drake to sit there and give up once his cover was blown?). He decides it'd be best to crush the Straw Hats' top fighters early on, and takes a particular interest in Sanji because of his father. Does Queen have some connection with Germa 66 or Judge? Considering his love of technology, weapons , and viruses, it wouldn't surprise me if Queen had an interest in acquiring Germa's research to improve his own craft.
5: Brook is not affected by the Ice Oni virus. Chopper notices that this is because Brook is technically the same as a dead body without blood vessels or body heat. Chopper also seems to be developing a theory as to what Ice Oni is and how to counter it- but he'll have to work fast, as he somehow got infected during the fight.
6: Usopp tries to hold his own against Ulti and Page One. It goes about as well as you'd expect. I love Usopp, but close-quarters combat with two incredibly strong Ancient Zauns is certainly not a place where he can shine. He's on the receiving end of another Ulti headbutt, this time powerful enough to crack his skull through his helmet. Ouch. Here's hoping he's got an Impact Dial stashed in there.
7: Even though Nami said she'd generally confess and lie to get out of things, she's clearly not backing down even in the face of clear defeat. However, she just pissed off Ulti (who was probably willing to let her go if she just said that Luffy wasn't going to be King of the Pirates) even more by refusing to even entertain the idea. Badass- but probably not the best course of action when there's two dinosaurs staring you in the face.
8: When all seems lost, Tama and Komachiyo have entered the battlefield. Usopp and Nami are shocked to see that an 8-year-old has come to their rescue and that Komachiyo has grabbed Ulti in his jaws. Page One is apparently more concerned with the fact that Komachiyo is a dog.
All in all, I think this was a fun chapter. I'm interested in seeing what exactly this Ice Oni virus is (maybe it has something to do with Drum Island or Chopper's past?) and watching Chopper actually do doctor stuff. Wanda's Sulong was cool and it's good to see Carrot ready to lay the smackdown after the Whole Cake Island fiasco. Nami's determination was great to watch, even in the face of death, and there was even some humor sprinkled in (Perospero calling the Sulongs "You Crazy Furry", Brook being both insulted and happy that he's immune to Ice Oni). I'm really enjoying how the battle is shaping up- it's all over the place, but really cool to watch.
