link to read the chapter

Apparently the chapter hasn’t really been finished and it was published with some pages in rough draft? I don’t know anything more about it. Anyway, what did you all though of it?

Also the chapter deserves a CW for

    I think the editors had Oda rewrite the chapter honestly, I don’t like speculating on Oda’s health but it would make a lot of sense if he was trying to find the right balance of tone.

    Bonney being 12 is wild but I think it’s Oda’s thematic style of having children be forced to act as adults or have their childhood or innocence taken away (most characters in 1p are this thematic archetype)

      i could buy that honestly. it would make a ton of sense to have trouble finding a right way to get this story down. it’s easy to forget that it’s still theoretically targeted for kids since it’s been in print for my entire life.
