A man in green hair wielding three swords dropping from the sky in a cool pose to slash an exploding booger flipped at a princess running away on a giant duck is the most One Piece scenario ever
Something I appreciate about Nami’s character is how she presents herself as self-centered and greedy but deep down is truly a kind person. This was an element of her present in the East Blue Saga, but the Alabasta Saga really made me appreciate this part of her more with how even though she tries to get money out of helping Vivi, she really does care about helping her regardless.
I like that later ms Monday and mr 9(?) get married and have kids later. This is the first arc that actually lets zoro run wild and I love how much he just dominates
The panel you show for Miss Monday's sacrifice might be my favourite, actually. The stark black and white to signify the power of the explosion is just super striking to me
I like the power difference they show with the higher agents and lower agents, but it's still like the same thing for Zoro. Whipping the floor with both as quick as the others.
Something that I also like about this chapter is it shows the relationship that Vivi built up with the other mercenaries while undercover and that they had grown close enough that the mercenaries would rather betray Baroque Works than let her be killed It’s a subtle thing but I like it
Nami in some ways reminds me of Leorio. They are both "greedy" because they learned hard the value of money and the power it has over people's lives at a young age.
Take this in the spirit it is intended: it’s hilarious how simultaneously the Number men are the most deadly and yet comically taper off in deadliness? They each play a role, and I worship this series, but Mr. 1 only gets cooler, Mr. 2 is the Second Coming in my eyes (pun intended), Mr. 3 is actually both a slouch AND kind of the closest simultaneously our protagonists have come to death (who realistically did more to kill Vivi?) and then Mr. 4’s week point is being a moron? And Mr. 5 is proof a very powerful devil fruit is still enough to keep you off the podium, even past 4th place But yes, I respect even more each person past that. I’m glad to see Ms. Wednesday is Mrs. Wednesday now. She was positive rep for this series.
It's a shame, I wish there was some callback to these lower rank baroque work bounty hunters. Especially for Vivi's former partner, whatever his name was
