The Smoker-chan bit has already overstayed its welcome. Sadly, I expect a lot more of it in weeks to come.
That being said, I liked the pacing of Blackbeard's story mixed with the sharp cut to CC killing one of the inmates. It was a nice juxtaposition.
Additionally, I like the little face-plates given to the swapped-Strawhats. How Usopp made them in a desolate wasteland is beyond me, but they are cute and helpful.
I also really liked CC's design and overall craziness, and I am hoping the Gas Gas fruit is more interesting than it sounds.
All in all, this was an okay chapter. A bit too obvious in its exposition-heavy content, but still fun and mostly exciting.
