That was smart of them, splitting up while Vivi stays behind. And also the double mark to prove themselves.

LOL @ Everyone thinking that Zoro has an empty head.
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~

Wow the double mark thing threw me off, and yea kinda obvious the Usopp would lose but in 1 second? thats abit too exagerated seeing as Usopp can actually take care of himself

I have always loved Carue, but this episode he gets bonus points!
And the next episode is called "Alubarna is Crying! Firce Fight of Captain Carue!" so I hope there is more of my favourite character to come xD

The double mark thing was brilliant, when they were first doing the bandages I was thinking "but its easy to see them so how does it offer any additional security?" but the double mark thing was beautiful! And it is even cooler how they saved it until now to tell us xD

It made me LOL so hard when he said "after that it was over in 2 seconds, 1 second for each of us" LMAO

Okay, who's idea was it to put Eyelashes and Usopp together XD But seriously...why didn't we get to see what happened to each group? Or at least the two groups we know the outcome of. Zoro and Nami could still be fighting.

Crocodile is very observant, though I guess it's not hard to notice everybody in a group wearing a bandage on their arm.

I wouldn't call Vivi all that smart, it all came down to memorizing two things (both of the marks). Speaking of which, props to Zoro for coming up with those.
Usopp and Eyelashes made a great team. /sarcasm off

But my heart ached so hard when I saw Carue on the ground like that...... TT^TT

And how did Chaka not notice the baroque works symbol on his shoulder? I thought Vivi wrote everything down in that letter of hers.

Leaving Vivi to deal with the rebel army alone was not a smart idea imo...given the disdain they all have for the Royal family rn, they could easily have cut her down before she got a word in edgeways.
They shoulda just sent Zoro with her :/

Speaking of Zoro, I was surprised that he was the one behind the whole identity marker thing...guessed it would've been Sanji!

I freaking love Karoo

Couldn't Vivi have gotten on Karoo, distanced herself AWAY from the smoke and tried again??? Pretty sure Karoo is faster than the camels and they weren't close enough to where she couldn't have done this in time. Gotta think quick when shit goes down.

I wonder where they got all those identical cloaks, did the Duck Squadron bring them along or am I forgetting something? Anyways, that was a really smart plan to split up into three decoy groups. It was just as second leveled as Zoro's plan to have markings under the bandages. Speaking of that, it was really cool to see how quickly Vivi caught onto Usopp being fake. There's no way he would call his companion Karoo 'that bird'! As good at imitating appearances as Bon Clay is he really sucks at acting. Really smart stuff from our crew this episode, shame it didn't end up doing too much good.

The scene where Vivi couldn't stop the rebels was heart breaking for me. She stood up with so much courage in a similar pose to that time Zoro spread his arms accepting death from Mihawk and used all her power to try and get Koza's attention. Everything up to this point went perfect but Crocodile was one step ahead and his minion stopped it from working. When Koza sped past her and then Karoo got trampled in her place.... :( And immediately after it didn't work so much death started happening with the wars start.

I agree that it would have been cooler if Usopp was able to stand his own a little more. I wouldn't put it past him to outsmart Bon Clay.

I'm also starting to realize Luffy being injured is most likely Goku syndrome or for an in show example like when Arlong held him underwater. He's going to be out of the picture just long enough that things look real grave and then he'll show up and save the day. At least that's my prediction. I'm still very interested in Nico Robbins role in this arc and how Iggaram will play his part too, and in finally seeing the Vivi and Koza meeting.

These Baroque works are smart man changing faces fooling people that's why Zoro is smart man about the mark he was aware of this happening down the line you know what I mean.

Man she was there Koza heard the voice but he was thinking this is an imagination you know what how can you hear 1 person's voice when everyone is marching and it's like an earthquake and everyone is screaming you know what I mean,how can you hear a voice in all that shaking but he looked like he heard but he was in doubt he didn't know if it was real or not.

All this war over a flippin' lie yo,see how they operate?

While it was cool to see the Number Agents get played like fools by the Straw Hats, that one traitor blasting over Vivi's desperate call to stop the rebellion from starting barred them from getting the best possible turn of events and Mr. 2 being able to reach her exact location in such a short time only made things even more worrying.

It was quite disheartening seeing Vivi fail to prevent the pointless bloodshed. The current ED really tugs at that feeling of wanting to see her protect her people and the dear bond she has to both them and the Straw Hat crew. Bon Clay actually looks quite menacing when he's not dolled up in his ballerina getup.

Al menos bon clay no mato a usopp. Algunos se quejan de que Vivy solo llora, pero ¿Qué mas puede hacer?. A pesar del poder y compañía de sus nakamas, sigue siendo una persona tratando de parar una guerra.

A double mark + the wrapping is a very smart idea, especially since the wrappings can come off! Still, Bon Clay got to Vivi, and the war is starting up, and Luffy's still back at the casino city (i forgot the name).

Lmao, they tricked the Officer Agents by spitting up.

Unfortunately, the rebellion has started and some deaths have already taken place as far as I can tell.

Damn, Zoro really came up with that foolproof plan. That tattoo was the real mark of identification. Bon Clay was outsmarted.

Welp that was frustrating. So close, but they still weren't able to stop the rebellion.
While it is annoying, I do kind of have to appreciate how meticulous Crocodile is with his plan, accounting for seemingly everything.

Also I loved Zoro's plan for how to make sure they always knew if they could trust each other, it's pretty clever making it a two fold thing with the bandage and a mark underneath.
