Wait, Robin might actually do something in a real battle…?

I liked the chapter, but have to wonder how "poisonous needle hair" comes with Gladius' ability.

I feel like Oda could've done something more with Machvise's power than just making it a heavier version of the Kilo-Kilo Fruit. I do like Orlumbus silly bowling-ability, though, however it works.

@Razh:

Oda tends to exaggerate with character's observations regarding someone's condition. The only question is if Oda plans to kill Bellamy off or not. Luffy, Zoro, Sanji, Chopper, Usopp all received a shitload of injuries and survived. Wiper was supposed to die after like 2 uses of Reject Dial and he fired a bunch of them off AND survived electrocution and then fired a bunch of them off again. And don't get me started on Brownbeard and latest example, Law.

This is true, of course. I was mostly thinking if Luffy would really perform such a devastating attack to an already severely beaten friend, regardless of circumstances. But then I remembered his fight against Usopp… :ninja:

Didn't they say that Bellamy would probably die from just another normal hit from Luffy? I feel like him repeating his old coup de grâce when Bellamy did the Spring Hopper in Mock Town would just make him disintegrate at this point.

@Katzztar:

That design.. I don't see much difference in it from Sweet Pea or Boa Marigold = women known for their strength drawn taller than average (though Sweet Peas is smaller than others, she's still taller than other women) and oversized.

Fair point, but I actually like the designs of both Sweet Pea and Boa Marigold, so I think I'll chalk it up to the costume design in this case. I suppose I also might be a bit biased here since I severely disliked the whole Kyuin/Franky/Senor Pink ordeal in that chapter…

And I would agree with you on Kaya. It might have to do with her not being particularly sexualized in any way that she actually got to keep her original bust size.

@SunnyBlue:

Personally, I find that Scarlet and Rebecca have the laziest character design ever. Their design reek of blandness. They fit my definition of badly designed character.

Yes, and I would say this goes for a lot of Oda's female characters. Many of them just look more or less like Nami but with different hair. And it's a dang shame too, considering the range of different female designs he showed at Amazon Lily.

Although I can't pretend to be a fan of this design:
