I'm pretty torn about this issue.

On the one hand, a scene like @Ivotas described would be cool as hell, with Sanji himself finding a way around his weakness.

On the other hand, I think Sanji's vulnerability concerning women is a more valuable asset for Oda to create interesting setups and solutions. If I think back, I can only remember Kalifa and Black Maria as bigger villains that Sanji was put up against (Viola was more easily dealt with for story purposes), so it is not exactly overused. And both encounters were solved in a way that uplifted other crew members. In a way, Sanji can be just as weak and needful of protection as Usopp or Nami are, while at the same time, he can take down pirates of Queen's caliber. I, myself, find that an interesting spectrum.

It's not ideal though, that the indicator whether Sanji is a protector or in need of protection is the sex/gender of his opponent. This will obviously continue to create conflict in the community.

Here it is!

Man, what an earth-shattering chapter. I guess I need to read it several times over, until I can truly wrap my head around it.

That callback to Luffy's and Lucci's encounter on Enies Lobby was amazing, though!

@The-B-Mack It was published in One Piece Blue Deep as well. Depending on where you live and what languages you speak, you might be lucky. France and Germany have it, but I don't think there is an official english version of the book available.

@danie Man, just imagine the backstory of this power. A mother or father, unable to provide enough warmth for their children, developing the deep desire to be able to keep them warm.

Now I want to see DF backstories...

@The-Light-of-Shandora I read the german version first, then the english one.
They got Antje Bockel, the official translator for the german volumes, so I cannot pass on this!

Everything in this chapter refreshes all the death flags for Garp. He fights his old apprentice (and the newer generation tends to surpass the former), he has his even newer successors with him and I cannot see him fighting in the endgame.

But it will certainly be with a DON!

Aaand we're back, guys! Here's the first chapter after the one-month-laser-eye-hiatus.

@Cyan-D-Funk At least, the corresponding episode of the One PIece Podcast was named: “Those Are The Most Sensitive Buildings”

@ScotchInformer I love the small Sanji sketch that shows what his Raid Suit + Fancy Hair + Regular Suit would have looked like.
Probably, if he really let Usopp and Franky have a go at the design.

Finally, another "Adventure on..." chapter. I'm so looking forward to some sci-fi schenanigans.

But, there's noone living on Egghead except for the Punks and their creations, right?
