Everywhere else, most people have the convenience of superior technology and DF abilities to survive, so they wouldn't be able to develop a will as strong as those of the Kuja amazons....
Yeah. I can dig that. I guess it makes sense. Good explanation.

Anyway for actual discussion on this chapter itself, on stuff like Fisher and people who may be related to him.

Dragon for one, may be related to him as people have stated.

From what we've heard, Fisher climbed Red Line alone, bare handed and single handedly went against WG. It was a lone act he did himself, he wasn't doing it with anyone else.

I'd like to think that Dragon was also one of those people he rescued from slavery and only from there he joined the Sun Pirates and inspired to become a revolutionist. He has a tatoo on his face, though it doesn't seem like one of those slave tatoos.
That one, the third one, I found pretty interesting. It just caught my attention. Oh, and people breath whether they are taught or not. The muscle (diaphragm) must move, as long as the person doesn't will it to stop. Just like the heart. So one can't exactly be taught to breath, as such.

So I was sorely wrong about the symbol on her back being an ensignia of Dragon...

It was pretty disapointing the way it turned out, though. Seeing as they're friends of sorts, now Luffy won't get to fight Boa. It shows that the ShichiBukai won't be stormed through, but it's also sort of disheartening... I wanted to see her fight.

Tops for this chapter as usual. Can't wait for the next.
