Basil Hawkings : EVERYTHING is cool about this guy during his introduction in sabaody, the way he talk, his complete detached permanent unfazed state while paradoxaly being the most aware of whats going on
Smoothie : she has so much aura, its unreal, her design is just so good, she is scary and badass (one handing a zweihander sword) she is sexy while staying proud (scarf covering her chest) she is stylish (the hat and the elbow protector), the long silver hair, her serious eye gaze instead of the "nami clone eye gaze" i dont know man, 10/10
Smoker: the best rival ( sorry i dont like koby, he is ugly, the "the rival is the same age" is old and overused in every manga, smoker being older, more experienced and blitzing him was more unique + desing is fire
Urouge: i dont even need to say anything, just look at HIM and listen to what he say, the way he says it
Vista: the perfect trainer for zoro during the timeskip, he use 2 sword style, just like zoro (im 99.99% sur that the third sword in his mouth is just to aura farm, he never actually hit enemy with it + he dont want to break it, its a gift from his sister)
Oda is such a genius when it come to create characters but omg he is so bad at writing, he really think that his dumb mysteries are more interesting than smoker, hawkings
