Once again a great one. At the beginning of the chapter we are introduced to a lot of people who seem somewhat 'fodder', no one really stands out and I believe that's how Oda wanted it to be. I do understand that there's somewhat a need for some of the participants to be introduced and he decided to leave the important ones to the latter part of the chapter. It seems that Bellamy is alive after all and seems to be in the service of Doflamingo after all.
Pirate Prince Cavendish is the first "important" participant introduced in this chapter. It was a truly funny moment when Luffy mistakenly said his real name causing a shock in the other participants. Also we got some backstory on Cavendish and I really find it pretty nice to hear about him - it's pretty awesome that he has been three years in the new world without any kind of an ability.
Then Gladiator Rebecca is introduced, once again an obviously important character for this arc / tournament. She and Luffy talk about Kyros and it seems that there's an interesting mystery there lying in wait for us and I couldn't help but to see that if he was the champion 20 years ago, he could have been around when Gold Roger was still roaming the seas.
And finally we see Jesus Burgess after a long time, it seems that the 4 participants for the finals are Burgess, Lucy, Cavendish and Rebecca. Seeing Burgess raises a question: is Blackbeard around? Can't wait for next week - damn you Oda.
