That panel of Bonney and Luffy really put a smile on my face. She finally not only gets to see the source of Kuma's faith and hope but becomes it in at least a small way.

I really want the Marines to find out that the monsters they are seeing that have no regard for them are the Elders. That could be an interesting storyline, and its one that I feel like Oda is trying to set up.

One random thought I had too is that this arc is turning out to be a great training arc for Gear 5. He's had to go in and out of G5, fight, take multiple hits, and refuel multiple times. He's pulling new moves out of nowhere, learning to conserve and refill his stamina and also finding out what his awakening can actually do. I would not be surprised that if in Elbaf, he's essentially mastered G5.

Damn Kuma would be so proud if he was still capable of feeling

I still think we have to see Kuma do the Nika dance before the end of this arc. Maybe right before he dies. It just feels like that would be a nice full circle from Slapp to Bonney.

That's also my opinion - maaaaaybe just a little bit more on the next chapter, with Kuma crying at seeing Bonney and Nika fighting together, but that's it. I'm happy enough with the implication that he may still be a little aware to take the meaning of it all. Dancing would be amazing but I think he's past the point of being able to do that
