User blog comment:Fliu/Chapter 980: This Is Where the Fun Begins/@comment-29391896-20200525133213

This will sound harsh but I really don't feel sorry for the beating Luffy and Zoro took from Apoo in this chapter. If they truly want to take revenge for sweet little Tama's sake, then they shouldn't risk everything by taking their frustrations out on Mooks who don't know any better. Save the energy for the real villains who actually poisoned her country and made her starve in the first place.

If it takes Apoo beating, slashing and exploding Luffy and Zoro for them to wake up and take this whole situation seriously then so be it. Being destrucive and idotic is fun when there's no risk involved but when there's millions of people counting on you, the baka duo gag stops being funny and the two most popular characters look like careless assholes. I can see why Luffy and Zoro need smart crewmates to back them up now.
