Bets the Revolutionaries try to take Robin back by force? Forcing a clash between Sabo and Luffy?

Oh that actually makes a bit of sense, since Luffy's father is their Leader so it would make things more difficult and will add more chapters, ofcourse.

"Spread your ear-pollution both far and wide" - Billy Squier, The Stroke.

It'd be a good way to show how much Luffy has improved as well. Sabo and Ace were shown to be pretty much equal in the flashback.

If they fight, it would show how Luffy matches up to how Ace was.

Lol that ain't gonna happen. It'd make no sense to force an additional conflict upon the SHs while they have their hands full with DoFla and the government. Why would they try and steal Robin back anyway? They've already allowed her to leave to meet up with the SHs for the two year reunion. Even if somehow she left of her own accord, Koala's dialogue doesn't suggest anything confrontational in the least.

They didn't allow her to leave. They actually tried to kidnap her when she tried to meet up with them.

See Chapter 598 for evidence. At least, I assume that is the Revolutionaries attempting to kidnap her. I don't think the World Government would try something so simple and stupid after what happened to Enies Lobby.

Robin's working with the revolutionaries, not to mention all the Ohara/weapon jazz. It makes perfect sense for government to continually keep tabs on her. The gear those guys are wearing are straight up government outfits. The same stuff half the people in Enies Lobby/Water 7 were wearing. Granted, revolutionaries do sneaky shit but it still makes total sense for those to be some variant of cipher pol or regular soldiers. The government sends normal grunts after pirates, SHs or not, all the time. Heck in Sabondy they did exactly that. Bunch of nameless soldiers confronting the supernovas rather than leaving it up to the admiral and only the admiral.

And again, even if they were revolutionaries, Koala's dialogue suggests no ill intent. It's a straight up, "Robin also happens to be here, neat!"

Not to mention the help by Dragon at Loguetown, Kuma at Shabondy, Iva, etc. For them to suddenly be antagonistic? Also Kuma sent Robin directly to revolutionaries in the first place. Why would he send all the crew members to places that furthers their strengths, but suddenly expect Robin to be the only one to not reunite? Especially when Kuma's last actions were most likely also deliberate plans to further the goals of the revolutionaries.

So, so good. I remember when I used to hate One Piece... but now I can't get enough of it. I don't know if One Piece is just that good or the competition is just that bad...

Huh? What? The revolutionary said that "Robin-san" was there... she showed respect there. She was probably happy as she would get to meet with Robin again.

A little from column A, a little from column B. Mostly just One Piece not getting worse over the years. It's been pretty damn consistent over the past 15+ years. Which is more than can be said for other series that have gone on for even half that time.

Sarcasm just doesn't work over the internet.

The best really long weekly series right now are probably One Piece and Kingdom. I'd throw HxH in there too if Togashi gave a damn. A few decent up and comers here and there though.
