I'd personally would still say that becoming too peaceful and bowing to the World Government was definitely a mistake. Not one that needs to be focused on (like blaming Harald, who's already dead), especially to ignore the current situation. But it's enough of a mistake where after the situation has passed, you should really rethink whether you want to keep allying with the World Government (who's shown the willingness to kill and enslave your people), or decide whether it's time to go back to some of that warrior culture at least for the purpose of self-defense as opposed to needless slaughter and conquest, or almost pure pacifism.
And of course, we don't get to immediately see Loki's Hybrid form, but rather a silhouette instead; it's Kaidou all over again.
Lastly, I can't get enough Zoro and his growth; it hinges on both instinct and simple but raw logic that never gets dull for me. It works even better when paired with a moronic fool like Sommers. Speaking of which, I'm really going to miss Sommers when he gets offed. I think the last crazy evil bastard who I liked was Caesar; and it's not because their evil or crazy, but because of the humiliating and satisfying karma that always hits them when they get their comeuppance makes a wonderful viewing/reading experience.
Overall, I really enjoyed this chapter.
