I seriously hope you're kidding. Outside the cover stories, cover arts never foreshadow and have never foreshadowed anything. It's even clearly stated that this originates from a reader who requested Zoro and Sanji to race with a hare and a tortoise on their backs, most likely inspired by the story of the tortoise and the hare. That the animals have humanoid characteristics is also absolutely nothing new, Oda has been doing that almost since the beginning of the series.This image in the MS version made think this,You must be registered for see imagesYou must be registered for see links, might have been foreshadowing. The animals wearing human clothes and being near anthropomorphic and the forest setting might have been foreshadowing for the Minks and Zou. The gangster clothes could have been foreshadowing for the Capone situation, as gangsters commonly wear suits in popular culture, and for the wedding. Zoro and Sanji racing and fighting could have been foreshadowing Zoro's aversion to handling Sanji's situation. The introduction of Kinemon and his name being the title/content of the chapter could be foreshadowing Kinemon's negative relationship with the Minks as a samurai. Perhaps I'm looking too much into it, but if it is, good job Oda.
OT: Alright chapter. I'd rate 3/5. The bit with the adult trio falling asleep was great, as was Neko-mushi's antics. He's really growing on me.
aye what anime iz your sig that boy hardNothing special but Luffy doing the Saitama okay was fun.

No I'm not kidding. I disagree with your wall of negativity as well. Now, I'm adamant it was foreshadowing.I seriously hope you're kidding.

This is a simple cover art with no meaning, that's it. It's so common that any kind of foreshadowing would be useless.
At first I thought they were gonna stay on Zou, but Zoro will probably have an objection to this(unless I missed him already doing so, I've been half-asleep while reading these chapters).I wonder where the Green Hair Pirates and the Heart Pirates will go.
How is that plot device ? They didn't even have to be there. It was just for comedic effect.The mid trio falling asleep was the dumbest shit I've read in a while. Really lame plot device. It doesn't take a genius to figure out how to work in shifts, especially with someone as smart as Robin. Lame.
Rest of the chapter was solid.
Once they were there, there was no reason for that to happen.How is that plot device ? They didn't even have to be there. It was just for comedic effect.
Kin'nemon and Kanjuroo were supposed to enter the island either way.
I think it's not too farfetched to say if they were working in shifts, Robin slept during someone else's shift and they fell asleep as she was asleep.The mid trio falling asleep was the dumbest shit I've read in a while.

Maybe the mid trio are some heavy ass sleepersOnce they were there, there was no reason for that to happen.
1.All of them fall asleep at the same time.
2.Kinemon and Kanjuro happen to miss them as they walk by.
They were smart enough to be there, which was fully in character, and then the rest was so out of character it hurt (especially Robin being that careless/stupid).
It was comedic but it came at their expense.
Oda should have been more creative with how Kinemon and Kanjuro get in.
I hope that was the case. Makes more sense.I think it's not too farfetched to say if they were working in shifts, Robin slept during someone else's shift and they fell asleep as she was asleep.
