Once they got to the bathhouse it was only a matter of time before someone's towel came off.

Can't wait to see Luffy completely clown on everyone and then break the slave collar by flexing his neck with haki.

The little detail of X-Drake being weak to women was definitely amusing. I expect to a fight between him and Sanji since the traits are starting to parallel.

Exploration is ill-advised.
Armament Haki would be ideal for breaking the neck collar's blades, wouldn't it?

Luffy's Devil Fruit is unique and powerful in some ways in that it works so well when directly buffed by his physical attributes, especially Armament Haki, in a way that most Devil Fruit users wouldn't be able to take advantage of. (but weapons users like Zoro would)

Because grandpa would still be in danger. Plus it seems pretty obvious that Luffy isn't really threatened right now

Also there's nothing stopping Queen from

The blades just shattering on Luffy's neck would have an amazing response we can all agree though.

I think that Queen doesn't have a fruit, and is a Franky-esque cyborg instead. I noticed that one of his forearms is full-on mechanical and the way he uses these collars makes me more suspicious about it.

I was expecting it to happen last chapter and when it didn't I was hoping that meant Sanji was doing something else instead.

Luffy's got haki, though, and we saw this chapter that he can use it to considerable effect with the collar on. Nothing seastone does about that.

Uhh yes it does. It weakened him and prevented his concentration to use Haki.

Or he could be an awesome robo-zoan! Reminds me of the cool cyborg animals on Vegapunk's home island.

Did you not see the river of blood

I saw it, but Sanji's effectively done that a a few times before (flying nose geysers) and I would have guessed the first time he actually got too see Nami would have been a more spectacular reaction. Maybe Sanji is finally getting better too after WCI. I was making a joke though, I don't want Sanji exploding into anything but a full body diable jambe I swear

Oh he did? My bad then! I haven't done a pre-TS reread in a long time so I should get on that.

About Kawamatsu, some seem to think he could be a Mink, but his Kapapapa laugh makes me think he might be a kappa zoan. Or is that just way too obvious?

Someone on Twitter had an interesting theory that he's actually sensitive to blood.

They mention that he's a coward in his cameo in Law's flashback, and he remarks on the color of the Pacifista's blood and looks a bit anxious during the fight on Sabaody. That'd be a hell of a weakness in his line of work tho.

No matter how one loves, there are always different aims. Love can take a great many forms, whatever the era.
It's a reference to Benkei, a Japanese character famous for collecting weapons and challenging people who wish to cross a bridge. Gilgamesh is also a reference to this character.

X-Drake totally has a weakness to women's bodies but is trying to act tough. He's from the same region as Sanji and they're both ex-somethings (Sanji is ex-Germa, Drake is ex-Marine).
