All these reunion chapters have been done beautifully, IMO. I find them utterly entertaining and amusing… I realized how much I missed the Strawhat crew!! Oda was really great to remind me that! They are best together and it's what I enjoy in One Piece the most! This chapter was just freaking funny!
Luffy to Franky - WAY FUNNIER that I can ever imagine! LOL! The way Nami was pulling Luffy out of his daze completely predicting his reaction was simply amusing!
I love how Luffy (despite all the hardships he endured) was still humble enough to acknowledge that his request was selfish (even though I feel it was just right) and I like how he feels matured but still the same lovable idiot he is. (His usual naive nature [failing to realize the pure awesomeness of his opportunity to stay at Amazon Lily with Hancock], his nonsense [not recognizing Perona, not understanding Nami's explanation], his bold optimism to his dream) … tears No other shounen character can really compare to him.
Okay fangirl-ish tendency.. can't help...
Next, I absolutely loooooooooooove Sanji! He's super hilarious! His reactions to Nami and Robin... when I read the spoiler I knew he'd get a nosebleed but Oda's drawing was just simply too funny for my imagination! The way he got that frustrated look... being surrounded by okamas for 2 years... I felt his pain! (even if I'm a girl! lol!)
Sanji to Hancock... laughs out loud I've been wanting to see the crew's reaction to Hancock and I got a tease that was more than enough to satisfy me! Sanji and Brook's reaction (Strawhats pervs) were just too funny! Why even Ussop was charmed with Hancock's beauty! I find it super hilarious how Sanji was accusingly asking Luffy if he REALLY was training for this past 2 years while he was in hell.. haha!!
The hancock-okama wink…. was just priceless!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I laughed soo much! I can't wait to see all this animated!!!!!!!!
I find the marines reaction were just too awesome as a hint to their "threat". How they set up a lot of platoons just to capture them... though they failed horribly still. It's just appropriate, and good thing that no admirals were near the area!!
Lastly, how a lot of people helped Strawhats showed me what will forever separate them from the other pirate crews (I think). Their charm to other people is what the Marines failed to realize (which Mihawk saw). I think it's a trait exemplified by Luffy but has been passed on to most of the Strawhats as shown in this chapter. To me it was a glimpse of how greater their influence can become towards the end of the series and it's just awesome to look forward to it!!!
