that would also mean Ivankov's holding that over Crocoboy and not their gender. which is an easier pill to swallow

I do sometimes think the power gap between pre- and post- timeskip characters is a little too large; it makes characters like Lucci, Crocodile, and most of the Vice Admirals feel unimportant in the grand scheme of things to a slightly jarring degree. At the very least there should be fewer Vice Admirals, or maybe explicit sub-ranks for them along the lines of the old Royal Navy's Vice-Admirals of the Red, White, and Blue in real life.

the problem I have with this is that we've seen what an emperor could do with Whitebeard. so we knew the bar Luffy had to cross to become Pirate King

characters like Lucci and Crocoboy aren't static and can evolve over time as well. I fully expect Lucci to be stronger than he was previously

we're also following the all star crew that will be able to overcome any issue. most of the worst generation hasn't fared so well

IMO, it's the other way around; they should have focused on taking out CP0 as fast as possible so they wouldn't have to fight Lucci and Kizaru simultaneously.

that would make sense if they had perfect knowledge like the reader. I thought the crew doesn't know that the Marines are on their way. let alone Kizaru specifically

plus their mission is to get Vegapunk off the island and were interrupted by CP0. they're defending Bonney and half their heavy hitters are separated. Zoro, Sanji, Robin and Franky would be good to have from that perspective

yes. there's no reasoning with that kind of person. their entire logic is yamato makes them horny and theyre straight so therefor because theyre not gay they conclude yamatos gender from there. this is why they ALSO accept kiku as a woman. their entire concept of gender is derived entirely on what gives them a boner.

people are getting their rear end kicked or captured all over the place. we really are in end game territory

we also don't know what Shanks wanted when he showed up to chat with the Elder Stars. like what's his actual endgame rn. he's tailing Blackbeard so he'll get caught up with Garp and the Revolutionaries. tho he's never been shown to be on either of their sides

You can also make enemies with crows. It's entirely possible that it's too late in this case and whatever grudge this crow has against Gyges is irreconcilable. A crow passes their hatred down through the generations too, so just because you outlive them doesn't mean you'll be free.

To reiterate what others have said: to not gently caress with crows. Best bet in this case is probably to feed the crow and beg for their mercy.

I was trying to be optimistic. if a crow is following you around and making warning sounds it's basically calling you out. they have great vision and can recognize individual faces. so combine that with the memory and socialization skills they can get their buddies to help gently caress with people

like it might not even be the same crow every day and they're just rotating thru a murder of crows

Nah, there's no way for it to know that it's my apartment. I just happened to hear the noise I'd been trying to figure out, and saw it was a crow. I think it just likes to sit on the edge of roofs and make weird sounds.

you do realize that crows are perfectly capable of looking through windows. crows are also smart enough to see a person walk into a building and then see a light turn on inside and piece it together

I've heard a theory that Dragon isn't actually Garp's son, but married Garp's daughter, based mostly on one line where Luffy sees a picture of Dragon and goes "Oh he doesn't really look like me" and Garp referring to Luffy as "The son of my kid" specifically but those could easily just be translation things.

I think this has been around for a while and I could get behind it. Luffy's mom has basically never been mentioned in universe

would also make sense if something happened to her which set Dragon on his current path and why Garp doesn't seem particularly interested in stopping him. I'm fairly sure we know Dragon and Garp communicate

Well, his wife's name. It's a thing that can happen.

It's much simpler to suppose Garp instilled his sense of justice and responsibility into his son, who then saw how the Navy serving the Tenryubito went against everything Garp purported to value. One of the easiest to understand "gently caress you dad" scenarios I can think of.

This is kind of a pet peeve of mine, but if humans can cut mountains in half using their arm muscles, it seems weird to get hung up on this completely implausible and over the top superhuman feat involving pregnancy. It was presented as a badass feat. Let it be a badass feat.

I'm not particularly hung up on it. I honestly think it's funny but my point of comparison is that it's easier to change your name than perform a super human feat
