and yeah, Brook is kind of the weird one of the bunch. He's the only person that Luffy invites who actually accepts the invitation right off the bat. So of course in this comic he's going to reject it straight off.

except she did blow up that one ship and almost got attacked. If it weren't for the fact that the straw hats were completely and hopelessly outmatched by her at the time, they probably would have attacked.

Not really. Nico Robin is part of the Boroque Works deal and never directly interacts with the crew except to help Luffy survive against Crocodile, Tony Tony Chopper helps heal them up and only gets jumped afterwards by Luffy thinking he's food, Franky struck first by attacking the Going Merry in Water 7, and Brook is floating around in his ghost ship and Luffy invites him right off the bat.

isn't preemptively attacking new friends how they make all their new friends from practically these guys forward? Almost everyone who joins the crew from now on gets attacked by Luffy or one of the other members of the crew at some point prior to them joining the crew (I think Sanji and the Baratei Cooks may be the sole exception, but only because they were kicking Luffy's ass at the time and he wasn't doing squat about it cause he was hungry...)

That dawning moment of realization that you unknowingly and preemptively attacked potential new friends.

That joke about STD's, combined with asking for lemons. Dammit, KS.

Nice job breaking it, Heroes! XD
