At least it didn't take long for some of the Strawhats to meet up again.
This entire plot-element of the Kitetsu swords is a bit weird though. When I read the spoilers I thought it was completely out of character for Luffy to just take a sword, but when I took into consideration he was changing cloths, I reckoned he did it too look more samurai-ish, which eventually was the case. Still it's inevitable that you automatically draw Zoro into this when you talk about swords and certainly the Kitetsu-swords. People are already talking about a power-up for Zoro, only he doesn't need one. He hasn't even gone full-out yet post time-skip and he already has three good swords, which he used the past two years.
Oda isn't going to remove Wado Ichimonji as it's too important for his character, Shusui is the most recent one he obtained and why trading one Kitetsu-sword for another one? Zoro has never been a sword-junkie that immediately changes swords because they're of a higher grade. The only way I see how this could work, is if he has to give away Shusui. It has been noted several times now that Shusui is an important national Wano-artefact, so I can imagine that it becomes an important plot-device to get people on their side or something and that he then has to replace it with Nidai Kitetsu.
Most intriguing parts of the chapter though was that the tengu said he too was waiting for someone; it's one of those things you easily forget having read, but then suddenly makes in impact on the story; and the mysterious woman. We know Zoro saved a woman, but Oda almost completely omitted her. I almost forgot she was there due to Luffy and Zoro's reunion and Hawkins showing up.
