I love how Oda can make a scene work regardless of the art style involved. How even a silly fighting style such as the Gomu Gomu no Mi can blend into a really tough battle and not take away the seriousness of it. Also even though he loves exaggerated emotions, it works well, such as Ace's death. Even Luffy's odd look at the end didn't take away the tragedy, in fact it made it worse for me.

Oh, and I definitely dig Oda's art style!
