Other details of interest:
1, Sniper King's lasso game
This time, the title page readers request a very good capture of the character positioning. First, there's Usopp's "sniper" and "fun-loving" traits, as well as Brooke's "doll" attributes. Brooke was previously made into a Haruhi doll by Big Mom, and in this story she is used as a doll in a lasso game.
2. Garrett's change
In this story, Garrett gives a rare look of concentration.
I'm sure she's heard the gravity of the situation in Becky's words. This is a showdown where the difference in strength is too great. To quote Law in the Tokushima chapter, "We're either going to win this battle or die!"
? The Bandai chapter Garot had a lot of drama and didn't do too badly. There was always the idea that Garotte would be on board. I think Oda gave Garlotte these scenes not to get her on board (there are so many supporting characters ahead of her that carry more weight than she does that aren't on board), but to make her grow. Looking back at Garrett's attitude toward the infiltration, it's easy to see a thread called "growth":
Initially, Garrett only thought it would be fun to infiltrate the Four Emperor's base camp, and was reprimanded by Wanda for doing so. Her reaction at that time is in contrast to this quote.

(Episode 815, "Take Me With You")
Later, Garlotte steals onto the ship, and there's nothing but novelty and excitement for her first time out on the water.
?
(823 words, "The World of Turbulence")
Trapped in the Mirror World during the battle of the Wonder Forest, she endures some experiences.
?
(838 words "Boss Joe")
Later she is involved in the rescue of Brooke. It was at this point that she finally realized what a grueling ordeal she was going through. It's not a small change.
? Oda has arranged for some of the supporting characters to grow up in some of the chapters; after all, battles in Pirates aren't sieges, where the Straw Hats arrive in a place, fight and leave, leaving a mess for the natives to clean up. Such as Alabaster's Vivi, Fishman Island's White Star, Ice and Fire Island and Elephant Island's Momonosuke (who has yet to be ushered into the real arena), all of whom have grown up with the help of the Straw Hat Regiment to become a friendly force that carries the burden of the next generation of their hometown. The character of Garrotte exists in the same way, I think. Though the two kings of Zau have not aged well, Zau is always going to have a successor.
3. Caesar's Chip
There is a hidden message from Caesar in this story:
?
In the face of such almost provocative words from Caesar, Becky neither got angry nor expressed disdain, but was speechless with a black face. It seemed that Becky and Caesar's cooperation was not entirely based on an unequal treaty. This time, the United Army was indeed a three-way alliance. Caesar should be holding Becky's weakness as a bargaining chip to establish a covenant, and this weakness is related to Becky's son.
? I reckon that this weakness was probably given to Caesar by Becky on purpose to show his sincerity towards cooperation. Just like when Law gave Caesar his heart back in Punkhassad. Given Caesar's miserable situation, it's hard to imagine that he could still hit on Becky's son when his heart was in his hands. Becky was an old fox. If Caesar had that kind of skill, he would have escaped Big Momma's factory alone a long time ago.
