Loved reading the chapter; watching Law's crew blush at the idea of being on the "isle of women" was pretty funny too. Can't blame Luffy for wanting to destroy everything in sight; what a tearjerker.
As for the flashback, I'm liking where Oda is taking it. I give the man props for finally giving Dadan an official introduction (hopefully he'll delve into how Garp and her actually acquainted each other), as well as taking another point of view of a scene that he's already used in the manga:
Granted, Ace wasn't shown holding a spear back then, and Garp hit Luffy with the other hand, but all in all it's nice to know Oda still remembers small instances like this (even Luffy is holding his hands out in the same manner while being hit). Its small things like this that I appreciate Oda's attention to details, no matter how minute they may be….
Looking forward to the next chapter....just need to figure out a way how to make the chapter-less week pass by so I can look forward to it much easier...

nostrils and ears as well if we're gettin' technical
Well, if we wanna get REAL technical, there's always the eye holes if we rip out the eyes, or the hole in your throat if you have a tracheodomy….umm, yeah, nevermind...
