* Moriah is the subject of a lot of hate for being a [[Flunky Boss]] and for going down easily when he went [[One
Line 105:
* Despite the unbridled awesome to come, I was somewhat disappointed after the Strawhat crew were {{spoiler|[[Wham Episode|scattered across the globe by Kuma]]}} and the manga's focus shifted almost entirely to Luffy with only hints of what the others were going through. Upon consideration, however, it could be brilliant because when the anime catches up, instead of making up [[Filler Arc|Filler Arcs]] to give the manga time to pull ahead again, the animation team will be able to spend time telling the stories of the rest of the crew.
** Perhaps the most brilliant part of the {{spoiler|separation arc}} occurs at the end after Luffy's {{spoiler|heartbreaking loss of his brother.}} After focusing on Luffy for so long the crew is pushed to the back of the reader's mind, as they were pushed to the back of Luffy's. In this way, his {{spoiler|realization that he has not lost everything and wants to see his crew}} becomes that much more poignant and accessible to the reader. It allows us to feel the chunk of time they weren't together more personally.
* Some of the logia powers shown so far in the manga have all had a element of mystery. Kizaru is once heard mumble a cryptic <s>[[Pre
** For the sake of those that aren't familiar, I'll dissect the comment; Things get more massive (and usually heavier as a result) as they get faster, and reaching the speed of light gives you infinite mass (infinate weight if there's anything with gravity nearby). Light can do it because it had no mass to begin with, so infinity times nothing is still nothing. Kizaru's immense destructive power need not be superhuman strength at all, as if he kicked someone at the speed of light, he would have to turn back at that speed to be solid, giving him a mass that rivals a black hole for the instant it takes him to slow down. And according to Newton that makes the force greater than.... I'll stop there.
** The bottom line being that Kizaru's mass destructive powers are actually based on solid physics, and that Oda did the research yet again. The other Fridge logic being that Kizaru is much, much, smarter than he appears at first glance.
Line 127:
== Impel Down Arc ==
* It has been stated that the winner in a fight is one with the stronger convictions. The straw hats have only lost to Aokiji, Kizaru, Kuma, and Sentoumaru, with a near-loss to Magellan. Combined with Hannyabal's "You Shall Not Pass!" speech and his impressive showing despite having no devil fruit powers, it seems like ''their convictions are stronger than the Straw Hats.'' Even villains can have ideals and dreams too...- [[User:Fish Stampede]]
** Well, that's also assuming that all of those characters are straight-out villains. Aokiji seems like a very decent guy ('Lazy Justice' my ass, he was deliberately trying to give Robin a second and even third chance, despite his obvious duty being to ''kill or capture her''.), Kuma may or may not have been an actual good guy at some point, and Kizaru seems more [[Lawful Neutral]] than villainous. What must be remembered is that most of these 'villains' are actually protecting people, the normal citizens of their world, from the pirates who would harm them. Luffy's crew is the ''[[The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything|exception]]'', not the rule. I wouldn't call the enemies 'heroes', but most of them aren't straight-up villains either. Even Akainu, that most bastardy of bastards in the marines, is basically a [[Well
** [[Sarcasm Mode|So Akainu's act of]] [[Moral Event Horizon|murdering a ship-load of Oharans just because an archaeologist MIGHT have been among them]] [[Sarcasm Mode|is justifiable, then.]]
** In his mind, yes. He was ordered to make sure none of the archeologists escaped. He felt he couldn't take even the slightest chance. It doesn't justify it to US. But he was acting "for the good of the world."
