@Count:
This isn't really all that notable, but it's pretty endearing to see Jimbei rescue Nami from Big Mom's prison and having the two of them team-up as they're escaping. After all of Arlong's shenanigans, it's great to see character interactions like this that flip standards on their head. Especially after that talk they had in Fishman Island where Nami forgave Jimbei.
@Count:
Same. Hopefully Jimbei and Sanji will also get notable interactions this arc due to them teaming up against Wadatsumi in Fishman Island.
I felt the same.
@Lord:
It not really what BM could be referring too imo, more of the idea if she gets hurt/killed/kidnapped BM loses her way to becoming PK.
Specially after last chapter.
^this. I did not notice any mention of Puddings power going poof if she gets KO'd. It was just that since BM is betting on Pudding's powers being her ace in the hole if plus needing her for this wedding scheme anything happening to Pudding would be a major set back.
@Zephray:
Man, does it feel like Oda is rushing through this arc. As folks are saying, things are too straightforward and easy.
Um this was being set up as a short "get back Sanji and give some spotlight to the SHs that left the previous arc early" arc. It was never going to be a 200 chapter game changer.
@Leviathan:
He wasn't part of her crew though. His nakama spun the wheel, and still had to rip out his own eye to shorten the sentence.
@desa:
1- Brulee says invaders and loyal pirates so that should apply to Pedro case.
2-Brulee said that the roulette is the death sentence. And says no one leaves which is proven false.
3-The roulette was rolled for Pedro. Big Mom even said so(that his friend rolled the roulette for him)
So yes if you roll the roulette you have a high chance of dying but it's not certain. And you certainly can leave since Pedro leave with Big Mom's permission.
Technically Zepo spun the wheel so from what we have seen the people who spin the wheel do die :ninja: Brulee is still right so far.
@Galaxy:
Shanks bled after his arm was bitten off. What a weakling!

@Count:
Who is stronger between Bobbin and Meadows?
Using Cavendish units, Bobbin's probably 3 Cavendishes and half above Meadows, but only because his charismatic boyoyon sound.
^this checks out trust me. Although Meadows does have a secret power that makes his powerlevel have the illusion of being Kaido levels to people who believe hard enough but if you see through the ruse he isn't all that powerful.
@Count:
A post on part of why Arlong was one of the best villains we ever had
Fun fact people tend to forget: One Piece was actually a lot more "brutal" before Alabasta when Oda toned it back.
@Lucky:
You too? Seeing her in harem pants complements the strangeness of Totto Land I think. I'm with you in regards to her standard wardrobe being monotonous for a long time. This is a nice change of pace.
Forgive me if there is some sort of cultural slang I am missing out on but what does this mean?
@Count:
Also, as random as it sounds, I like Nami's poofy pants. It's a bit refreshing to see her wearing non-skimpy clothes for once. Not that she should't wear what she wants or should be shamed in any way for looking attractive. I just appreciate creative design variety compared to what is typically expected from established patterns.
@Leviathan:
I sort of agree, I was getting slightly worried that Nami and Robin were getting flanderized as fanservice. Of course what kind of outfit Nami is drawn with is not necessarily indicative of flanderization, but it does change the pace a little from the pretty-much standard hourglass figure we get a lot off these days.
@Count:
Exactly. And on the subject of repetitive female Straw Hat designs, Robin not getting any hairstyle besides long hair like Nami for her post-timeskip design still freaking bothers me lol. It doesn't help that she never wears her cowgirl hat since Skypiea just because. Just bask in the variety of this concept art:

I don't have time to talk about it now but this is actually an issue I have had with One Piece recently and have to say I totally love the fact that Oda has been giving Nami a satisfying performance this arc reminding us that she is a good friend of Luffy and part of his crew not just "that hot girl who stands in the background and only gets mentioned to explain how they got to the next island"
