the legendary treasure that Buggy is obsessed with finding belonged to Captain John.

Thank you, because I have no memory of that.

Luffy, now wearing some random suit of armor he found in the hallway

So much love for this. I mean, I loved the sparkles and excitement with which Luffy greeted every new experience and encounter on the island, but this … he can be such a kid.

It's wearing a haramaki.

Is the belt-thing orbiting his hips part of not-Zoro's haramaki?

the little robots launch themselves on a trip to the moon

With balloons! That has to be one of my favorite children's fantasy devices. We should all be able to float to the moon clinging to a party balloon.

The dog-penguin is making a grandiose speech about The Power of Love.

So…Sanji in the body of a throwaway wild zombie instead of a soldier zombie. Does this tie into what you and w_10_00 were saying about his being the bounty they skipped when accounting for the strength of the crew? 'cause it seems like such a waste on Moria's part.

First mention of Kaidou by name, though he has been alluded to before, shall we say… indirectly. His name will come up again later.

By which time I will have completely forgotten he was ever mentioned. It is so hard to be me.

"Oi! A beautiful female swordsman is here with some MEAT!"

This may be my single favorite moment in this volume.

"He was kinda like you, but he was wearing geta, so I knew it wasn't you."

The rest of the outfit notwithstanding, I had to laugh at THAT being what distinguished a scarred old zombie from Zoro in Luffy's eyes.

Oh, my. Sweet Laboon. I assume the Strawhats themselves haven't been back to Reverse Mountain by volume 60-whatever. Have they managed to get word back to him about his nakama? (And Brook re: the afro. *sniffle* Mean old zombie.) 4th edit: oooh...maybe Brook has a wanted poster and...who would show a wanted poster to Laboon? I NEED LABOON TO KNOW HE WASN'T ABANDONED.

(Three edits! Sorry.)
