#chapter 127

Like the feelings of hostility are completely gone, it's amazing. It's sort of a height of their relationship (to me), how after EVERYTHING, now in battle, they're honestly different from before

They've always had freakishly good communication, the innate ability to understand and trust each other if they let each other, and have also both always been kickass

And now their way of fighting together is so harmonious, this chapter really drives that in (and tbh so does the last one)

I think Akutagawa is actually the perfect match for Atsushi in a lot of different ways, a big one being that he can stabilize Atsushi and in his own way, calm him, ground him— and with their conversation in 127? It's so interesting. I think they're both confident as being a team and not individuals now

SANJI THE MENACE THAT YOU ARE

I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE SO MUCH WHEN HE IS JUST THE MOST SHAMELESS PERSON ALIVE HE IS SUCH A BRAT WHEN HE WANTS TO MY GOD

This is still top 3 Sanji's moments for me, the fact that he understood the situation so quickly and the inmense help his actions here brings to the saga. He's just so cool.
