@Dubanka:
I generally don't complain about Oda's choices, but there are two things about the 2 years later chapter that really disappoint me:
1. Robin. When will you reach your potential? Why are you running from no-name kidnappers? You should be able to break their necks without turning around. When will you defeat someone worthwhile? Usopp's done more than you.
Those agents were constantly reporting back to some head agent giving them orders. Robin taking them out would only create cause for added reinforcement, possibly with the added aid of the Marines. Now, what if Robin did not want to make known she was reuniting with the Strawhats that were thought generally to be done for? Why bring unnecessary attention to yourself?
@Dubanka:
2. Chopper. I understand why you were pushed in this direction, but did you really have to come back cuter and stupider? Welcome back mascot, you could be so much better. There's still time!
Chopper's still young and naive, but he's not stupid. Not even close. And yes, he's cuter, which may in a way suggest that he's more of a "monster" when he gets down to business. Oda loves adding comic relief, and this was great.
