Leon should just confess to Esther. Idk why he's beating around the bush so much. We can all tell that Esther is as dense of a person as it gets. If he wants their relationship to move forward he should stop waiting on Esther to make the first move.

It is beating around the bush because Esther doesn't get it. She thinks that he's only saying that for appearances and not because he actually means it. Leon knows that Esther is as dense as it gets and yet he continues to drop hints that she's just going to misinterpret. The only way to get through to her is to actually tell her that he likes her. Any other approach has been proved to not work on her so no point in wasting his time on those.

Well yes, he increased her density (or let's say romantic immunity) by posing as someone who's ready to behead her at any given moment. Sure, we readers moved on (and he sure as hell did), but Esther...err.. seems quite stuck at the "pretense" part (and considering this is shoujo, she'll find 1001 reasons to verify this notion, cement it, plaster it, write it in stone and built a high rise a top of it. Chances are, she'll endure some absolutely superfluous "suffering", heroine herself through it and STAY as dense as before. I can't wait for it.)

I hope Pudding joins the Straw Hat Pirates and stays with Sanji. Regardless of what has happened up until now, I like Sanji and Pudding together.

Joining crew? NAH I don't want that but if this happens then I'll probably be happy

I can't imagine Pudding joining (mainly because to me her devil fruit is too overpowered and strawhats already have Robin to read the Poneglyphs), although it's probable that she falls in love with Sanji, but we probably will see more development for her character, so I can't tell fro sure how I feel about her yet. I just hope Oda doesn't make her only a "disney princess in distress". I hope che can fight too.

I don't want her to be the same as Baby 5. I like Baby 5, but please let Pudding be a grey complex character and not only a fangirling wife.

I enjoyed this chapter but I would've liked it if it was more emotional like the novel. I feel like I was tossed around here and there like ling ling gets shot, now she's in her bed unconscious, and now she back home. They didn't even give time to show how horrified everyone felt when they found Ling Ling or how down everyone was while they were waiting in the hall for Merlin to give them news about Ling Ling. They didn't even show how painful it was for Arthur to have to let go of Ling Ling. It felt kind of rushed and cold when you compare it with the novel. I was really looking forward for the burst of emotions in this chapter too ):

This is also the reason some of us have spoilers
That first story felt like a Harlequin
*harley Quinn ( ̄へ ̄)
Idk if that was a joke but I meant harlequin as in harlequin manga
People these days only think of her rather then the word, but I agree the first story did have that feel.
