User blog comment:Samium/Ten times that it feels like Oda insulted our intelligence/@comment-34981281-20160606035953

I disagree with literally all of your points, but enough people are tackling them all that I'd feel reduntant. Instead, I'll just focus on the ones that can be answered with fact and not opinion.

1. He didn't. Spandam stole the Buster Call. He deluded himself into thinking he had the authority to use it.

3. The Merry was released into the waters by Franky and got a head-start. Being pulled by the tub current, it could have easily arrived in time to save the crew.

9. On the contrary, Nami is the only person who could beat Kalifa. The point of Enies Lobby is that all the Straw Hats have things they can and can't do. Kalifa's danger comes from her ability to immobilize her opponents. Luffy would have been turned into a soap man and laid helplessly on the ground. Nami was clever enough to figure out it's weakness and had the means to exploit it.
