Brook is a million kinds of epic this chapter! I always love when he starts telling the baddies about the crew (which he hasn't done in a while, honestly Oda!) because it always shows his fierce loyalty and trust in them. Every scene like this has been awesome, and to top it off he called BM a young lady which she totally is to him so he has to teach her a few things like the wise old skeleton he is. XD
He's also right about things eventually coming down to Luffy and Sanji despite whatever else is happening with the crew. Sure Sanji needs rescued now, but he is going to have to make up for his words to Luffy; the future Pirate King will not be happy until he does.
Really looking forward to the 2017 year! Mostly hoping it gets less painful for Sanji… his "year" was truly sucky...
