I've never actually heard of that site, do they have early translations? The only website I use is mangastream (and occasionally mangapanda) which generally has translations that come out on Wednesdays or Thursdays (Thursdays as of the past few years).

That would draw some serious red flags. A Yonkou invading another Yonkou's territory undetected? The only reason the straw hat crew could even navigate Big Mom's place is because the lion guy helped out, in addition to Pedro who was there before, they had the world's best navigator Nami, and they had Pudding too. And the Germa recognized them so they didn't attack them.
I'm not quite sure what part of them still repeatedly calling Sanji a dud and useless made you think they weren't villains anymore.
Sanji even still considers them trash. There's literally nothing good except for his sister. They want to rule, not help.
That being said, I do hope the arc ends in Sanji helping his family escape, and Big Mom comes at a later point. I doubt it will though, because that's typically not how shonen mangas go.

I believe he was more eluding to the fact that Sanji still has compassion for them and wants them to survive, despite how unbelievably horrible they are to both him and others.
But having said that, I'm thinking the Dad is at least going to have some sort of comuppance. He doesn't strike me as the kind who is going to suddenly start appreciating Sanji for saving his life, but rather get mad at him for messing his plans up (even if he saw full-well that Big Mom was going to strike first at them).
My hope is there's a scene where Sanji's dad punches him full-force for "dissapointing him again" after Sanji saves him, and thus makes Luffy goes full-bore on him!
On another subject, I'm very VERY worried about Jinbei! I really want him to join the crew (hell! he previously even got a flashback arc! that's usually a postivie sign for a Strawhat member! ^_^) but I'm suspecting that - despite what he said to the other guys - that he DID actually indeed spin the wheel and probably got a significant part of his lifetime removed from him. It only makes sense to me because Big Mom wouldn't be as calm as she was up till Brook's intrusion if he just turned his back and didn't spin it, and I don't believe Jinbei would put the entirety of Fishman Isle at risk of Big Mom's wrath by not spinning it.
Caesar is with bege now, Loki is a prince of Elbaf (pleas tell me there will be a Prince thor and a King odin, I would love Odas take on that.
i hate you cucks

Let there be a Norse inspired arc, complete with Princes Loki and Thor, King Odin! Maybe have Usopp finally get his wish to train with the Elbaf army and develop some new Norse inspired techniques.

I feel like Caesar is a stronger Buggy for this half of the series when it comes down to comic relief. Wouldn't be surprised to keep seeing him in later arcs.

So I guess they do join forces. I really don't even think CC is that important. I mean I guess three arcs ago he was the main baddie, but...now who cares. That was literally multiple years ago.
Ceasar is decently strong. He's not comic relief I think but his ability is pretty good. He'll definitely be good control when helping the Straw Hats.
Chap is out. It was surprisingly good. I liked almost everything about it. No complaints from me. It was just so interesting to read.
Big Mom having tough skin is....I feel like poor Shanks and Luffy are underpowered now.
Idk. Blackbeard actually gets hurt but he has superhuman stamina and can even handle two devil fruits with his body.
Whitebeard was human too but he was just flat out strong.
Kaidou is suicidal and his luck (and it looks like his body) are so tough that he just can't die.
Big Mom isn't able to get hurt under normal circumstances, it seems.
Shanks lost an arm to a fish...
Seems unfair. I really feel bad for Shanks, I don't want him to lose.
I think it's just her big fat body being tough. I don't think it has anything to do with powers.

Btw I forgot to say, there's a 100% chance Luffy fucks up the plan by trying to be funny on his entrance. I mean, it really has too because I don't see a Yonkou dying so soon.
If she does die, it'll be the greatest thing to ever happen in a manga and I'll give Oda mad props. Seeing the other rookie alliance get raped by...Kaidou? Piano teeth and Magnet boy, that alliance. And seeing Luffy and Law team up to beat kaidou, and all the other alliances. If Bege + Luffy end up being the team to kill a Yonkou and it being so rushed, it would be amazing.
I don't get why people keep discrediting Shanks. The guy has one arm and zero powers and has remained as a Yonkou for the entire series and more, just because they haven't shown how he fights (or mostly anything from him and his crew, really) doesn't mean that he's weak and can be easily defeated.

But Shanks sure as fuck doesn't feel as invincible as everyone else. The New World is full of crazy strong people with sick powers and he feels like just an ordinary citizen.
