No matter how one loves, there are always different aims. Love can take a great many forms, whatever the era.
Probably worth noting that, other than Luffy, Robin has the largest bounty increase in the crew.

Franky's portrait being the Sunny has to be setup for something. It's so bizarre.

it's a continuation of the gag where he was mad about his previous poster having general franky on it, idk if it'll do anything except set up a future gag where some marines are confused in person about it or something though?

What an absolutely incredible chapter, just beautiful from start to finish, felt like every panel was the best.

Sanji being utterly despondent in spite of the fact he now has a billion+ bounty :allears:

Yeah but at least you can arrive at the idea of how that happened with General Franky! How the heck did they end up thinking he's the boat? To be clear I'm not saying it's setting up anything big, but hell Duval's a character who will probably fight with/be part of the Straw Hat Grand Fleet in the final war.

drat, can't believe Dragon does not support the death of monarchs. What a loser!

Anyway, interesting that sounds like this whole Marine hunting thing was apparently Mihawk's deal before he became a Warlord. And I real like that his old moniker was Marine Hunter. Cool reverse of Zoro being the Pirate Hunter.

one of the blackbeard pirates is going to recognize the sunny and think its a commander and start to fight it. this causes franky to defend it while also using the sunny to fight.

If the bounties system worked with any logic Robin would have the largest bounty of the entire crew by far save MAYBE Luffy and it is bullshit she doesn't

I think the logic is that the World Government don't want to draw too much attention on how dangerous Nico Robin really is, because of her ability to read poneglyphs, and that's why her bounty isn't that big, relatively speaking. But to be fair, I don't think this is mentioned explicitly in the story.

it still feels like there's something more to Mihawk than we know what with how they immediately jumped to giving him a higher bounty than Luffy or Blackbeard. I feel like his parentage or something about his past is yet to be revealed

Mihawk's called the "Marine Hunter" probably cause he went around cutting up Marines, I don't think it's strange to think that cops would consider pig butchers a higher threat than someone who kills civilians.

I thought that was interesting, especially since Cobra seemed pretty anti-Dragon in Vivi's flashback to a previous Levely. Does Dragon have some kind of master plan that revolves around Cobra being alive? I feel like there's got to be some reason for Dragon's reaction beyond "Robin says Cobra is a cool guy."

Cobra is one of the kings who actually gives a poo poo about his people; the rebellion in Alabasta was the result of Croc's years-long manipulation and undermining of the kingdom. And even after being crucified with stakes as big as his head Cobra still helped rescue Luffy after Luffy beat Crocodile and put himself on the front lines to bring an end to the rebellion.

Cobra might be anti-Dragon because Dragon is a dangerous revolutionary, but that doesn't mean Dragon is necessarily anti-Cobra.

the arabasta royal family are also the only ones who didn't move to mary geoise after founding the world government, there's some major significance there & it wouldn't be unusual if dragon were to know some stuff there. i think dragon knowing from robin that cobra is a decent guy who could even be a potential ally in the future would go a long way too

i hope vivi is with sabo rather than having been taken by im to be a damsel in distress

Shocked I tell you
So pretty much Crocodile was supposed to be the Emperor, but everything got messed up because Buggy's minions made him look like the boss. Also it's great that Crocodile the biggest villain of early One Piece looks to be taking a big role in the final saga.

Sanji was fourth after Enies Lobby (Luffy > Zoro > Robin > Sanji)

Sanji was fourth after the timeskip (Luffy > Zoro > Robin > Sanji)

Sanji was fourth after Dressrosa (Luffy > Zoro > Usopp > Sanji

Only time he wasn’t number 4 was after his own arc lol

jimbeis the only member of the straw hats besides luffy who was at impel down/marineford, and going by croc's massive bounty increase and buggy's rise to stardom, they took the impel down breakout extremely seriously. heck, he personally squared up to akainu at the end of marineford. makes sense his bounty would be higher than sanji's.

It's Franky. Consider - what are the odds that he built in the potential for the General Franky and the Sunny to be able to combine?

This is foreshadowing the fact that Franky's final powerup in the last arc will be Tengen Toppa General Franky using the Sunny's hidden transformation powers to make a larger mech. There is no way the guy who secretly wants to write a mech anime isn't going to do this.

Interesting detail about all of Buggy's giants leaving at once. Seems like Elbaf setup, with presumably all the giants heading back to combat some threat to their homeland.

For some twisted reason I really enjoyed all the discussion of pirate-financing in this chapter. I'd like more chapters of Crocodile trying to turn Cross Guild into a profitable business. A few more hostile takeovers and acquisitions (Crimin? Doskoi Panda?), investing in Shandoran gold, offering fiat investment scams to pirates, selling dodgy Water-7 timeshares, etc.

I assumed she came running back in crying and hugged Mihawk, saying his touching goodbye truly reached her and she decided to stay, all while he stood completely still, face impassive as he explained repeatedly that he would prefer she leave, which she either ignored or pouted about but then dismissed. You can't prove it didn't happen!
