Oda puts a lot more emphasis on Sanji’s response to Usopp’s potential death than he does Zoro’s. There are a couple of different ways to read his expression, but I wouldn’t be surprised if there was a flash of guilt and the feeling that it was his fault Usopp was on that tower in the first place 

It feels significant to me that we can clearly see the flag Luffy ordered to be shot in the same panel of the Government nuking its own island 

Oda went really hard on the character designs for a bunch of dudes that barely even matter 

I really, really like the concept of Gear 2. It’s a standard shonen power up, but the explanation behind it fits Luffy and his fruit so well
