The framing of this exchange is great. Aokiji and Robin are facing opposite directions with an impenetrable wall between them. They'll never be on the same side, and they'll never see things the same way, but still they're able to have a conversation.

It's also important that when Robin's talking about how she couldn't leave the crew, Oda specifically shows Luffy looking absolutely ridiculous. It wasn't his coolness or his strength that won her over. Luffy saved Robin in part because he is so ridiculous, because that rediculousness is what helped respark her dream and by extension her will to live.

jake calling the rest of big deal 'the kids' :( still so fucking sad at the thought that jerry, jason, and brad are all 'probably' caught by the police (as per lineman). breaks my heart that jake can't help but feel ultra responsible about the capture of big deal, as well as the kidnapping of johan & sammy.

really looking forward to choi beongae from gapryong's dragon fist gang thooo. just have this inkling that he will be of big help to jake. (he might introduce jake to more people from past generations ykno! or even to other sons of gapryong ���) his shoes look promising too lmfaooooo (what are those!)

It's chapter 433. Vegapunk will not be properly introduced until 1066.

This is a nice character moment for Nami.

Oda remains one of the best at building up hype. The framing in the last panel pulls back from the closeups of characters talking and makes the world feel huge.

And this is the great tragedy of Garp

It's a well-known fact that Oda made up the Supernovas on the spot, but statements like this make their existence feel like they were planned out well ahead of time.

It's still a little weird to me that Chopper eats meat, but he and Luffy have some quality expressions here

[opbackgrounds]

There's so much to love about this interaction, but I don't think the fact that Luffy's actually listening and asking intelligent questions. It shows how much he really cares about Coby.

Until the live action came out, I did not realize that this dude had a name

[opbackgrounds]

I love how supportive Luffy is of other people's dreams, even if it's for things that might cause him problems in the future

[opbackgrounds]

Even after Helmeppo told Zoro who he is, Zoro still won't dignify him by using his name

[opbackgrounds]

Gonna ignore Robin for a moment and just say I love the after-arc parties.
