@Captain-M said in Chapter 1070: The Strongest Form Of Humanity:
I'm not a huge fan of the Love Love power still working so well on the child S-Snake. Yuck. I would say we need a soft retcon of what kind of emotional response can trigger the fruit's power, but the faces of the government agents don't leave much up for interpretation. Unless that group was Cipher Pol's designated gulag squad of degenerates, there should be no reason that many grown men in one place should have that kind of reaction to a literal child.
You can most certainly have more possible interpretations of that kind of face, after all, Franky had that same reaction just last chapter when his idol Vegapunk appeared.
I, myself, have never bought into the theory that mero mero requires a sexual attraction element to function and this chapter only makes that belief stronger. As far as I'm aware, the condition has never been concretely defined and is more broad than you'd think, covering a variety of contexts from: lust (your typical adult male reacting to adult Hancock) to idol worship (Amazon Lily) to 'Awww, such a cutie!' type reaction usually reserved for kids, dogs, cats and similar (this chapter's Hancock).
