@Dahem:
Nice chapter , but i dont know why when the straw hats meet each other they don't seem exited or happy to see each other i mean like hug and cuddle lol (except for nami and usopp)
Dahem – since when have Zoro and Sanji ever been the "hug and cuddle" type? -- especially to each other or to Luffy? This is how they play their particular game: they show concern and care for each other by being reliable when they're most needed, not by hugs and cuddles. (For that, you need some doujinshi …):ninja:
Here's a little segment of something I wrote earlier about Zoro and Sanji that might help to explain their behavior a little better: (with apologies to everyone who's already seen this thing THREE times)
! Think of it this way, too: the whole Alpha battle is just their way of keeping each other from slacking off, and testing each other to see if they're at full strength.
! I'm sure everyone's heard the advice about how if you want to reach a fitness goal you should get a partner – because the friendly-but-intense rivalry between you and your partner will make you both reach that goal faster than you would by yourself.
! Just before Kuma pawed them all, the Alpha battle was temporarily suspended: Sanji sensed that Zoro wasn't at full strength and couldn't be, and so he stopped Alpha-ing Zoro, and instead concentrated on saving him.
! He even asked Zoro point blank, in perfect sincerity: "are you going to be ok?" ... Which is very thoughtful, but totally against the rules of the game, so that's why Zoro said "shut up!" because the way the Alpha battle works, you show that you're ok, you don't talk about it.
! So now, two years later, the first thing Sanji says to the fisherman is: "nah, he's fine … he won't die" -- almost as if finishing his own thought from two years ago. And as soon as he and Zoro see each other, they launch into the Alpha battle again. Now they know they're both at full strength without having to go through the awkwardness of asking: "so how are you feeling?" "did all those wounds heal well?" etc
As for the others, I bet that Usopp, Nami, Brook and Chopper will be much more free with the hugs and happiness when they see Luffy – as they were when they reunited with Robin (and in Usopp's case, when he reunited with the crew). Expect a huge outpouring of tears from Franky, too. Robin will probably smile wistfully from the sidelines.
@Dahem:
I mean they didn't even say "hi" or " i missed you " or "you're other eye is gone"
I'm guessing that Nami will be the first one to ask about Zoro's eye.
@Ares:
Look at Wadou Ichimonji in the panel in which he slice PX-7 in half….
Black handle – one of the first things I noticed actually. I think (though I'm not sure yet) that Oda has a new inker on the crew -- so I figured it was an inker error, not an Oda error.
@semil:
You'd have to be a soulless not to have some degree of respect for that. Doesn't mean he won't beat the shit out of him given half a chance, but there you go.
Yes exactly. Sentoumaru has seen the rollercoaster fates and fortunes of Luffy and crew on SA mostly first-hand, so he knows about Ace, Rayleigh, and all that – all the incredible highs and lows of these past two and a half years.
