*laughs* I was too busy being pleased that my long awaited wish for Boa's fighting skills to be shown (I've been really waiting for this since chapter 522(?) because I was growing a bit exasperated with all the hate I was seeing *g) to really think about how my language sounded. *guilty look* I should really remember more often that, on the internet, people can only ever take your words at face value.

And yeah, the subtext there was *not* subtle at all. It got even less subtle when Oda revealed that Boa's 'East Blue' earned her an 80,000 bounty while Luffy's only earned him a 30,000!

*beams* Thank you so much!
