Dragon having an all black ship, down to the masts, is kind of a wild choice. It feels like it might be a reference to something, but I don't know what it'd be

Again, the risk of this fire getting inside the city walls is decently high, even if the king took every precaution--and considering he followed through with his plan despite the wind means we know he didn't. The people of Trash Mountain aren't the only ones he considers less than human. I like the choice later this chapter to have the king sleeping peacefully while the normal citizens are terrified for their lives

Very happy that Oda made her look badass at least once

I do like this addition, even if Oda went out of his way to make all the unsympathetic noble children ugly as sin

Before Luffy learned about Haki and how to control it, he only had outbursts of Conqueror's to protect his friends and loved ones.

Just another thing he picked up from his brother.

Ace didn't promise Luffy he wouldn't die until after this fire. I never picked up that Ace didn't expect to survive this last confrontation with Bluejam.
