Yeah, the dragon's identity should have been dead obvious to anyone who paid attention to what those kids told CC's men a couple chapters back.....
Anyways, cool chapter. It's nice to finally see Smoker show off some actual fighting skills for once, but it's still not guaranteed that he'll win against Vergo (we still don't really know what kind of powers that dude has.... though it must be something crazy if that exploding bamboo peashooter is any indication). I am also loving how CC is becoming one of the most expressive villains next to Moria.
Though considering what he said during the flashback, I now DO wonder if Akainu will return to PH at some point and take the Shinokuni weapon for himself (if it hasn't been destroyed by that point).....?
And speaking of the flashback, I saw somebody post this at the AP spoiler thread and I just can't get over how fitting it is for this chapter:
