Finally, Robin gets a bit of spotlight! <3 Would be more interesting if it wasn't vs Black Maria, but I'm not gonna complain. Her little exchange with Sanji was also pretty sweet - and a nice callback!
What do you mean, Shinobu? It's exactly how this works - if everybody's dead or unconscious, it's almost like they never saw you!
Also, that was a surprising amount of boobs, even for Oda.
@therealmarujo I really don't think it is. The tone of the scene is way too upbeat. In fact, I read that it's also a pun that can mean "I'd rather be with death", which refers to Brook, which is why he looks all delighted in the next panel. So the scene seems more comedic than foreboding.
@Frozeneye I agree with a lot of what you said. At the end of the day, I guess a lot of it can be a preference of taste and what you deem important to you most in an overall story. Oda is still definitely one of the best mangakas out there, definitely better than the wreck that was Bleach and better than Naruto by a longshot imo as well. Out of the three giants at the time, Oda was definitely the best and I've always enjoyed his more than the other two. He ain't perfect, definitely has some shortcomings, but is still one of the greats.
