Forum:Chapter 598 What do you think of the strawhat pirates new look?

luffy, a little mature, and that giant scar on his chest.

zoro looks kinda like rayleigh.

sanji has a small beard.

nami with long hair and hot >.>

usopp, more brave looking

chopper, like in the movie.

robin, looks like a belly dancer.

franky, completely new look

brook, looks like a hippy

"nami with long hair and hot >.>"

True that..^^

"robin, looks like a belly dancer."

Thats a good thing if you ask me.^^

Zoro appears to actually be missing an eye. I don't think he's winking. I kinda prefer Nami's old look, but this look is okay. I don't know yet if I like Franky's new look, I'd have to see more of it. I like the other updates. Especially Sanji and Usopp look good like this. Chopper could have used little more change I suppose. For the rest I think it's about fine.

Luffy's scar isn't appealing, but like many strong characters he has a large scar, presumably from battle. Zoro's eye isn't good, but makes me think he managed to fight Mihawk on some kind of par/ below par enough to survive. Sanji looks so cool! Nami looks HOT! Usopp looks cool (like the hat!). Choper looks no different : ( Robin looks much more sociable and friendly. Franky from what I could see, looked weird (like a fat gorrila...). And Brook looks super Awesome!

All of the new looks are going to take some getting used to. For the most part, the all look like they've become much more mature and stronger. Although some of the new scars may be blatent and unappealing to some, Eiichiro Oda has never let us down before. I'm sure there's a relevant reason for the new looks that we will discover later.

On Zoro's eye... if Zoro is indeed missing that eye, as I suspect, and not just winking. I'm pretty sure Mihawk took it towards the end of their training, and deliberately so. Probably as a response to some comment Zoro made, as well as showing Zoro he's still alot more powerful (Even if Zoro probably has gotten a massive powerboost.) As well as giving Zoro something to avenge against him.

On Franky... my first response was OMG, Franky, what have you done to yourself! He does make his former self (and most characters in the series) look like a pipsqueak now, but I'm not sure if that's quite good. Nor am I to sure about the giant Transformer-like forearms. Still I'd have to see it in action. And for all we know maybe it's a hulked out form, and he has a smaller, normaller one too. Or it isn't, but it turns out it's actually really cool in action. Still his redesign is rather... drastic!

Whilst I'm not surprised that Robin mostly had new clothes (She was already a bit older then most of the SH), I AM a bit surprised Chopper didn't change. (I guess it's either marketing cute in his case. And he's legally obligated to look like that. Or it's hard to figure out how to make him look older.)

I prefer the somewhat plainer sorta hot Nami to fiery sex goddess Nami to be honest. But either works I guess. Sure she does look hot. I dunno, I guess for alot of readers that's always a good thing. But although I don't think it's a serious detraction, I just preferred her older look. I dunno made her a bit more human and less typical-hot-girl-in-fiction. But that's just me. Personality is most important, but still.

Sanji and Usopp are the best upgrades far as I'm concerned.
