In context, he likely refers to the forcefulness with which Fa disciplines the children or her inner strength. However, considering the camera work, the movement of Camille’s eyes, and the timing of the situation, it seems as if he is commenting on the “presence” of her exposed chest, which is the subtle brilliance of this scene.

After this line, Fa shows no particular signs of being fazed and continues talking with Camille, while Camille himself briefly makes his "set expression" face, which is also a noteworthy point. When he continues with “With that power, you could easily become a pilot,” he is presumably referencing her inner strength, but the persuasiveness somehow falls flat.

Within the otherwise serious setting of Zeta Gundam, scenes where the visuals and dialogue seem so out of sync are quite rare. It stands as a classic moment born out of the unique gap between seriousness and everyday life found in Zeta Gundam.

The anime "Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam" was produced by Sunrise and aired from March 1985 to February 1986. It is a sequel set seven years after the One Year War depicted in "Mobile Suit Gundam." The "Gunpla" (Gundam plastic model) boom also began from this series. Numerous Gundam series, spin-offs, and derivative works have been produced and the franchise continues to enjoy enduring popularity today.
