@Low-fi:
I really enjoyed this chapter simply for the discussion the crew was having about their next plan of action. It's something that doesn't happen enough since they spend most story arcs running and shouting from A to B. This relaxed pace has been really great to read and I've missed some of these crew interactions.
That said, I felt some of the characterisation of the Straw-Hats was slightly off this chapter. With regards to Sanji, it seemed that Chopper and Nami were the only ones genuinely concerned for him. Compare this to Robin's sudden disappearance back Water 7, a crewmate who then had only been with the Straw-Hats a short amount of time, and everyone's main priority was retrieving her, so much so that they'd risk war with the World Government to get her back. Fast-forward to Zou and the crew is slightly more cautious about how they should proceed. It struck me as odd that their first reaction wasn't to immediately go and get him back, especially that he's been a Straw-Hat since way back in East Blue.
Zoro definitely disappointed me this chapter, I'm aware that his role is to be the voice of reason and keep some perspective on matters, but I was sad that his reaction wasn't "the Cook will be fine" and more an all-out "Fuck that guy". I always thought that Zoro and Sanji had a mutual respect for one another but I think Zoro was definitely a little harsh. Is everyone just a little more confident now in their abilities post-timeskip? Do they trust Sanji can take care of himself?
I liked the realism Zoro portrayed though I agree he came off as harsh, but he seems to be the only person taking the New World serious, the rest of the crew members are still acting like there in paradise. I respected Zoro for saying what needs to be said, I do agree with you on that part with Robin leaving but the thing is it seems the Yonkou are more dangerous then the marines. And to add to that they have 2 Yonkou on there tail I think he was just speaking logical.

Aww, don't spoil the fun. It won't last for long anyway. You can always derail the discussion with a better material.

I'm going to focus more on the thread, I can rip the Sanji fans apart at a later time.
