He's got that weird metal jaw thing going on, same as the marine from like chapter 2. I always wonder if that's just a thing Oda thought was cool or if there's some story there. Either way I feel like getting the Baron Underbeit operation implies a pretty hard dude. You either survive an injury that takes your jaw off or just do it for style points.

Morgan just never brushed his teeth and got a really bad infection in his lower jaw.

And there was no milk around to fix it properly.

He died from lava not punches everyone knows punching is blunt damage and thus non-lethal

Really, Luffy should be mad as hell at the concept of holes and blood. I know Zoro HATES blood.

Sleep, rest, do your best.
That wasn’t blood in Ace’s mouth, it was victory wine.

Also Ace’s death is IMO the saddest one in any shonen anime. His last words are brutal.

Merry Go’s death is actually a very close second, and that isn’t to downplay any other death. It’s just really sad. Plus that spat with Luffy is what made me start genuinely liking Usopp.

i JUST realized vasco shot -> basco shot -> toBASCO shot

and he canonically has the longest nose in one piece

seems weird that he might not fight usopp

i almost wonder if the strawhats might not fight their "best" opponent but instead their "worst" opponent. blackbeard is all about being underhanded. what if the BB pirates choose the natural counter to the most relevant strawhat, and the reason the strawhats win is because they know how their crew members operate. so someone has to fight van augur and the reason they win is because they have an immense about of trust and understanding in usopp, so they know how to counter the best sniper in the world.

This would be cool but ever since we saw Van Augur snipe those seagulls in front of Usopp there’s almost no other fight card I’ve wanted more… I could see it maybe playing out like Enies Lobby where everyone gets the wrong matchup and they eventually worked out the right pairings. Usopp pulling a 10000000T hammer on Jesus would be fun

There's a lot of fun gags to be had in a round of "wrong" match-ups. Like Van Auger being completely flummoxed when Franky goes INVINCIBLE, Zoro and Vasco Shot devolving into a drinking contest, etc.

I feel like it’s been too long since we had a Smoker update. We last saw him at the end of Punk Hazard right? We have seen Tashigi with the gigantic kids a few times but no Smoker.

His absence does seem strange given that he could easily have been with the Sword rescue mission or the Vice Admirals sieging Egghead. He has to be up to something else.

He’s not really in the marines proper anymore is he? I am curious about his activities in the G-5.

That sort of happened in Enies Lobby with Sanji vs Kalifa, Nami vs Kumadori and Usopp vs Jabra.

lol nevermind. Here I thought Vasco was just a lush, didn't realize he had been given a fruit already.

To be pedantic, there is a difference between a cig-cig fruit that lets you turn any part of your body into cigarettes and smoke itself.

afaik he’s still a Vice Admiral and commander of G-5. Last time we saw the base they were doing Vegapunk’s suggested rehab with the Punk Hazard kids, but Smoker was conspicuously absent. Definitely kinda weird that his last lines in the manga were “I’m gonna go talk to Vegapunk” and then he didn’t show up in the Vegapunk Arc

He's gonna show up, see the whole-rear end fleet + super beam weapon + the strawhats blasting off in a combined mecha and he'll make a funny face

Morgan’s metal jaw is because he got it hosed up real bad while the Black Cat pirates raided the ship he was on while using him as the guy that “killed” Kuro via Django hypnotism.

Incidentally I guess I answered my own question; if you’re basically a cyborg because your fruit lets you assimilate everything you’ve ever eaten, that explains being able to be punched that hard.

"He's so awesome!"
He really is!
Smoker's most recent big scenes were with Kuzan at Punk Hazard, and then reacting to Issho's apology to Dressrosa at the end of that arc. Kuzan spoke with him about how there are some things you can only see or accomplish when you're independent, and during the post-Dressrosa scene he was reflecting on how he couldn't have done what Issho did, even if he were an Admiral.

I hope he's taken Kuzan's words to heart and is taking some time to adventure independently (doing some soul-searching along the way), but it also wouldn't surprise me if he's conducting an off-the-books mission for Issho and/or Kuzan, something too secretive or sensitive for SWORD to get involved in.

I don't recall him saying that... which chapter is that from? Last we saw him was in ch 793, and they were only a few days away from Egghead at that point.

My headcanon is the average person in One Piece is extremely durable, and can take a ton of blunt force or concussive damage. Makes it so much easier to roll with all the non-deaths throughout the series.
