Every time I think the Celestial Dragon’s cannot get any worse, that they have reached the depths of horror they could achieve, Oda whips out a new chapter to prove me wrong.

FUCK the translation of this line. this guy might be grieving his dead wife but he's being honest when he says she's in a better place now. it's not just him trying to comfort little baby kuma.
even being dead is a better than being the slave of a celestial dragon.

SPOILERS FOR CHAPTER 1095: Sanji and his fear of spiders 🕷️
In chapter 230, we've learned that both Sanji and Nami are afraid of spiders and insects. These are very common phobias, and this moment was supposed to be comedic, so I didn't think much of it.
However, recently I've noticed a pattern among Sanji's opponents. First, in Dressrosa, he fought against Doflamingo, who has the Ito Ito no mi, the ability to control and manipulate strings. At one point, he used those strings to create a spider web to trap Luffy. Although his name and design are based on a bird, his personality and powers are definitely inspired by spiders. The fight was interrupted, but Sanji was clearly losing, and it would have ended pretty badly for him.
Skipping to Wano, Sanji was captured by Black Maria, the user of the Kumo Kumo no Mi, Model: Rosamygale Grauvogeli, an ancient spider. He fell right into her trap, and was powerless against her, because of his chivalrous moral conduct. So, he had to ask Robin for help, since he would never be able to defeat Black Maria.
Lastly, in chapter 1095, our Strawhats are facing their biggest threat yet: one of the Gods of this world (or demon?). Jaygarcia Saturn has transformed into a creature with bull horns and spider legs, most likely inspired by the Ushi-oni, a yokai from Japanese folclore. He holds Bonney hostage, and Sanji immediately runs in his direction to save her. But he is promptly blasted backwards, and hits the ground. It seems like Oda used Sanji as a stepping stone to show Saturn's immense power.
Maybe I'm reading too much into it, but I feel like the message is "Sanji is never going to win against aracnides", like that's an immovable weakness that's part of him, like not being able to hit women. Which is fine I guess, just a little weird.
PS.: The fact that Usopp, the biggest coward in the crew, isn't afraid of bugs at all means he'll be the one to land the final blow on Saturn? I wouldn't mind that, our boy needs a big moment to shine. He was the one who set fire to the World Government after all.

I Feel Sorry For This Doctor (And Again This Information Shows How The Government Has It Fingers In Everywhere)
It would be easy to make him a corrupt doctor who could have sold them out, but nope it's even worse he's a good man who with no power of his own had the government under his nose find out and now he probably lived with the guilt for years that this family was destroyed because he probably thought he wasn't careful enough. And one tidbit is that it's no wonder Rouge had a home birth because of the fact if hospitals were in heavy connection with the government then they could dig up stuff about Ace more easily.

If Garling is confirmed as Shanks' dad, will you include him in your fics?
Oh I already have! We don't wait for canon in this house if we like a theory (see: Makino's baby), so he shows up in Andromeda Unbound, and my planned outline for Salt Vows, although I've left it vague enough to (hopefully) accommodate for any eventual corrections, since nothing has been confirmed yet, although my suspicions are strengthened now that we know what he looked like 38 years ago:
Must be all the evil in his diet that's made him age like that, because I refuse to accept any future where Shanks doesn't turn into a stone cold silver fox.
