Remember that Ussop had a very defining moment about cowardice when he went through as SniperKing. He was brave and risked his life for Nico Robin...but Nico had become a toy, and when that happens, everyone forgets they exist, which means Ussop had no memory of his time overcoming fear and selfishness etc...That explains his regression a lot.
Sounds plausible, but why would DD need Law? DD can remotely control hundreds of people spread over an entire island. Even if his head got cut off, I doubt he is in such a position that he needs the help of a guy who he just beat the crap out an chained down. On top of that if it was some kind of collaboration attack, it should have been created when Law still worked for DD and thus before he became an independent pirate. Law's Room is now quite big, but 2 years ago it was far smaller, meaning it should have been even smaller when he was still DD's underling. I find it hard to believe that it was then such a dreadful attack.The poll should have an "incredibly awesome mind blowing epic chapter" option U_U
I didn't expect Sabo to eat the fruit so fast and I am not sure how I feel about him having the Mera Mera. Anyway, his disclosure scene was great. I also like the fact that he has a high rank in the revolutionaries, that makes it clear that he won't follow Luffy's path or crew, I like how he has a separate role in story.
Barto is so incredibly cute with his attitude xD
I think the birdcage plan evolves Law's room and DD string power to create a cage and then use both powers to annihilate the enemies. Seeing Law scared and not wanting to take of the shackles, maybe he is aware that DD will try to control him and use him against Luffy and co.
Usopp is a captain now of a powerful army

Well, actually the only ones not surprised by DD being alive was Pica and Law. Law reacted afterwards when he heard the birdcage thing, which makes me think that it's wasn't DD alone who saved himself, but he had the help of either two of them.
The New World was already supposed to be the 'final part' after East Bleu and the Grand Line, but it's definitely still going over the 1000 chapters. Seriously this is not even remotely 'tying up loose ends': Kaidou, Big Mum, Blackbeard, Mihawk, Shanks, Buggy, Dragon, the unknown Shichibukai, the unknown admiral, Akainu's plans, Aokiji's plans, the Reverie, the Void Century, all the remaining Supernova, the One Piece etc. all of them still needs closure and Oda is not a person who does that in one two three.
Nope, as he will not.
You're getting excited over nothing. As Hyperion stated before only a single bite is enough to grant you the fruit's power, after that bite it just becomes a regular (disgusting) fruit. So whether he now ate the Mera Mera no Mi completely or not makes no difference, I also doubt Oda would be wasting panels on Sabo eating the fruit whole when one bite is enough.
"Only one bite is needed for the user to gain the power of a Devil Fruit, after which the Devil Fruit becomes a simple, useless, disgusting fruit." - One Piece Wikia
This does not need to be proven as Oda, the highest possible authority, himself stated this in his SBS a long time ago:
- One Piece manga volume 38, page 66.
I don't doubt the fact that DD can use a powerful technique on his own, the manga has already confirmed that he is strong enough and he can use many people as puppets to his own likings.
