The only part I really liked about this chapter was Yamato's determination and resolve:
Just take a look at this expression:
Compare Yamato's determination to fight to the very end. To rather die than live in servitude and oppression to Nami's empty resolve. She offered an empty protest at Luffy's death, but in the end she could do nothing but cry helplessly on the floor while Marco protected her:
Maybe Oda thinks that he's making Nami look brave and determined. But making her so helpless and unable to do anything but cry for Luffy, he makes her pitiful.
I've said that one of the reasons I like Yamato is because she's a strong woman (in a setting that is very sorely lacking in it. Being strong is about more than just combat ability. Determination, resolve, the strength of one's moral fibre — they're all part of "strength".
The willingness to take a stand and fight for what you believe in. With every fibre of your being. Until your very last breath. That's a strength all of its own.
It's a strength that Yamato showed in this very chapter and Nami did not. It's a strength that several One Piece men have (see Kidd and Law in this very chapter), but so very few women in One Piece ever exhibit.
I like characters with that kind of strength.
