Taiyaki is a golden fish-shaped snack. It's a cake-like batter that usually has a sweet red bean filling and is baked. Takoyaki is a ball-shaped snack that is batter with octopus and other ingredients cooked in an oiled a pan with many hemispherical shaped spots making them into round balls. I've never had taiyaki since the idea of a sweet bean paste is super odd to me (American). Takoyaki though, I've had that at a few Japanese restaurants and it's pretty awesome. If you get the chance you should give it a try if you see it on a menu somewhere. Google either if you're interested in learning more.

Taiyaki, Takoyaki is octopus balls (which are very tasty btw).

In several paragraphs, you referred to Felix as Percy.

Is it Felix or Percy? Cause you used Percy a half dozen times in the chapter when referring to the MC.

The Author can just make up a non-canon Devil Fruit user that poses a threat not in strength but in their ability. Like... Off the top of my head, a Devil Fruit that makes the user and their target equal in all aspects. IE negates all Devil Fruits and makes their speed, strength, etc equal. Then it becomes a fight of pure skill.

All caps is yelling, exclamation points don't mean yelling. In this case, it's probably excitement.

Nah, my guess? He's definitely going to drown them, that seems obvious but I think he'd going to use something like his Gravity Crush skill to increase their weight. That way it's possible to get them all at once and force all of them beneath the water.

First, doesn't seem like the author will go that route. The ability Markus had only let him eat 2 Devil Fruits, which he has. Even if he could eat a third, I have a suspicion it would be limited to a Zoan type. Second, the author's definition of 'fundamental' seems to be limited to the four fundamental forces in nature. Namely, Electromagnetism, Gravity, Strong Force, and Weak Force. I dunno if the Yami Yami no Mi falls into the remaining two categories (Strong/Weak Force) but I highly doubt it.

Pretty sure he didn't kill Kuma. When he blasted Kuma and Mingo it specifically said he 'Defeated' Kuma and 'Killed' Mingo. Going by that, Kuma should still be alive, if in need of repairs. So he should still be the one guarding the Thousand Sunny.

He put it inside of his inventory, if I remember correctly. So he still has it.
