Oda just dropped the biggest lore bomb in years. Seeing the Five Elders transform into their mythical Zoan forms confirms they've been using those powers for centuries. The panel where Saturn stands over the Straw Hats is genuinely terrifying — this is the most powerful enemy they've ever faced. The art this chapter was on another level even by Oda's standards.

After the Mihawk fight in Egghead and his consistent showings against high tiers, Zoro has firmly planted himself above everyone except Luffy. His CoC awakening is basically confirmed at this point, and his progression mirrors pre-timeskip Luffy way too closely to be coincidence. Sanji fans will cope but the writing is on the wall.
