It was really interesting chapter. In one piece there are generally two types of chapter, first type of chapters include normal chapters, which are necessary to continue flow of story and second of path breaking types, which reveal significant things.
This chapter was of first type, yet had few points which make it a bit like second type.
Few interesting points I want to leave here, include:
-Luffy was doing well against Fujitora, even if he was injured. Yet, he had absolutely no counter for Fujitora's mass destruction attack, clearly underlines the fact that Luffy needs to awaken his DF, before he can compete with Admirals.
-Luffy has gotten a massive force along with him now and I guess the way things are going, it isn't difficult to figure out that Oda wants Luffy to be next yonko.(replacement of Kaido, maybe??)
Although, I prefer Luffy to be replacement of Shanks, since Shanks is more like Luffy's senpai and Kaido is on a whole different level atm for Luffy and his team.
One thing for sure, One Piece from this point onward is going to be way lot of interesting than it was.
-If in case Luffy accepts the proposal of these guys,(which I think he will or they will simply follow him, just like posters before me implied) I will certainly rate Dressrosa arc higher than what I rated it previously. Prominent reason being it justifies the length of the arc and the background stories of all the characters and justifies the significance given to the individual development of the characters and will justify the length.
-I am expecting all these pirate groups to allies of Luffy and not the part of Straw hat crew, directly.(just like Whitebeard had pirate allies, different from his own crew)
