I love the dynamic between the unserious strawhats and the very serious Law, it's kinda heartwarming in a way. The eerie music for Caesar complements him perfectly. Smiley is a wild name for that monster ahahahahahah.

When I saw that massive slime creature, I knew it was bad news, but Caesar straight-up experimenting on those poor marines was just sickening. It really cemented for me that he's not just evil, he actively revels in the suffering he causes.
