it was an awesome chapter though the first half of it could have been a bit shorter, but the second half was really good, I liked how Oda referred to Law as an over-hyped Sichibukai

and Doflamingos little speech all while showing that most of what he said was wrong
I'm so far not a big fan of Cavendish though, he is an ok side character but I do hope he doesn't become a big player, his other personality somehow just doesn't feel One Piece-ish to me
I like that Rebecca won, but she obviously won't have a chance in teh finals, it will most likely come down to Sabo and Burgess with little resistance from Barto and even less from Rebecca, unless Oda decides to do a twist ofc
Jesus' saying to start the finals really got me hyped, I can't wait to see it, damn, and another week of waiting begins
and the fact that Luffy and Zoro just got to the entrance to the palace didn't help with the waiting part
the entire story of this arc once it's out and I can read all of it in volumes is gonna be just beyond epic
