Luffy has always been badass, and now with this whole "I stare at you and you're knocked the f*** out" power of his, he's gotten even more badass. It's awesome.
Zoro too, with his scarred eye and everything. It just screams badass. And when Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji walked into Otohime's room to scare away that one villain guy (don't remember who he was), oh man. I just love when the main characters we've grown to love have awesome moments like that where the enemy knows they're f***ed.
