Well, I'm so glad that Kinemon was surprisingly AMAZING. When he was first introduced, I was thinking: really? Another swordsman in the series and his only gimmick is that he can create camouflage? Then his ability to slash fire from his sword struck me as something pretty cool. Then the full capability of his flame powers. The spread page of him cutting the explosion and going all "THERE IS NO FLAME I CANNOT CUT," was INCREDIBLY BADASS. Bravo, I wasn't expecting it from him. If all this screentime for him and coming up with such awesome powers for him is Oda's way of possibly transitioning him into yet another crew member for Luffy, I'd be totally game for it now.
I've also been talking with a friend, and he pointed out how much the crew has gotten knocked out or misleadingly defeated over the past arc. It wouldn't surprise me at all if Robin, Franky, and Luffy are all downed right now for some kind of incredibly BS reason; just as Zoro, Sanji, and Brook seemed as if they were defeated by the Yeti Cool Brothers, but were only "defeated" for an incredibly dumb reason.
