Thank you! I love that ZoLu moment with Chopper too. The Alabasta Arc is just so full of fun things. (OMG Zoro saying Hi-mi-tsu would probably kill me) I really always thought the animators (since Oda took Ace away from us far too early) were playing with the younger brother dynamic a little bit in the desert since Luffy was even more brainless than normal. It's fun to play with that idea. And gracias for commenting!

(Did you update Iron Will? I haven't checked ff.net yet because it keeps being all weird with popup ads and stuff.)
