"Empress" Boa Hancock disappoints me. I was expecting a mountain of a woman, if these amazons truly equate strength with beauty. Of course, with Oda's track record, I guess this was predictable.
At least she's a Shichibukai, which makes her quite strong. Chances of finally getting an Attractive Woman vs. Established as Strong Man match rising? Honestly, it's not that I want to see women get punched in the face, it's just that I would like to see a woman in the series who's good enough to be Luffy's opponent. Or, failing that, Zoro's.

And does it make me a horrible person that I still don't care about what's going to happen to Ace? I mean, I'm interested in Luffy's reaction, but I don't really care if Ace lives or dies.

I'm really starting to think that Ace's execution is just a huge trap meant to lure Whitebeard, Shanks, or possibly both to their deaths. Because let's face it, killing just one of those two would have a hell of a lot more impact on the world than killing Ace.

You know, I think you're onto something, here. When I think about it, I wouldn't arrange such a grand public execution for a second-in-command, especially since there's a good chance his captain will show up to wreak havoc and save the day. The Shichibukai being invited ordered to attend makes much more sense if it's a trap, too.

There's also the fact that killing off one or two of the Yonkou would cause a serious shift in power, though. But at this point that may be a risk the World Government is willing to take.
