Giolla is ready to revive her fallen comrades by exploiting the healing powers of Mansherry. If Leo fails to arrive on time, the tide of this battle will turn to the Don Quixote Family's favor.
The Good
I may just be shooting from the hip on this point, but I get the feeling that more devil fruits have been introduced in the Dressrosa Arc than any other to date in the ONE PIECE run. Within this chapter, we're formerly introduced to princess Mansherry, who holds the powers of the Heal-Heal Fruit. This certainly explains why Doflamingo would want to keep her captive, it clears up Sugar's earlier sudden revival, and Mansherry's tsundere relationship with Leo is certainly grin worthy.
You're almost left scratching your head that the Tontatta trapped in the SMILE factory were fooled into thinking their princess, who processes healing powers, had fallen ill. However, seeing how they're an astoundingly gullible people, I can look past that.
The Bad
I'm a bit disappointed that Nico Robin is looking to only play the shield for Rebecca, who has been a gladiator for years specializing in defense, to allow Kyros to focus his efforts on Diamante. Sure, that is rather irritating, but I can't say that Robin has a real bone in this particular fight. She's the outsider in this family feud. What gets under my skin more than anything in this situation is the wasted potential of the Flower Woman fighting all out in a giant field of flowers.
Touching back on the devil fruits, just how did all these isolated Tontatta get their hands on what should be so many rare fruits? It's currently four, by my count. It's one matter for pirates sailing across the seas to run into these things. I thought the Tontatta pretty much kept themselves hidden on Greenbit. I'm expected to believe that all of these ultra-rare fruits sprouted up on this one little offshoot of a larger island?
Verdict 3/5
It was a rather deflating beginning to this week's chapter. Having Robin leaping in to save the day last week in such a dramatic fashion, then revealing she only intended to act as a barrier between Rebecca and Diamante. I can't help shake this feeling that Robin outclasses the Don Quixote Family officer, but I can understand what Oda is aiming for in this situation. Even if it is a touch disappointing.
While so many new devil fruits popping up within such a short period may be confusing at times. Just don't confuse this as a complaint. It's always fun to witness the physics bending abilities of new fruits. I expect to see Mansherry's powers play a bigger role near the finale of this arc.
