Without even trying to make contact with the person who made the call? Is it literally a "press this button and we drop a nuke on your position" button?

It's a good thing no one in the Navy will ever question nor stop a buster call even if someone fat fingers the death remote. "WHAT A BUSTER CALL ON THE SECRET WORLD GOVERNMENT HEADQUARTERS? GET THE 10 NEAREST ADMIRALS TO BLAST IT TO HELL AND KILL EVERYONE THERE. THIS IS THE WAY OF JUSTICE!"

Yes. The Buster Call is really supposed to be used as an emergency last resort.

Who the gently caress thought that giving that thing to Spandam was a good idea? Admiral Aokiji, I heard?

Only Admirals are even supposed to have those, and the Admirals are all huge badasses, so if one of those gets pressed poo poo's bad.

Imagine how many people have been butchered just because someone like Spadam put the gold button in their pants and their rear end called in a murder spree.

I think all that's said regarding why Spandam has the Buster Call is that Aokiji gave him permission, and I guess Aokiji just doesn't give a poo poo. Which I can buy, he's the kind of guy who never gives a poo poo. Then again, this IS Spandam's word.

This particular Buster Call snail is literally a one-time-use no-questions-asked one of those, yes. It would be like if you got your own nuclear missile to launch wherever and whenever you wanted. It's only given to Admirals, of which there are three, and they are basically the highest ranking members of the Marines.

And as was said before, the Admirals are three of the biggest loving badasses in the entire goddamn world, so if they're forced to use the Buster Call, then things are hosed and things need to blow the gently caress up RIGHT NOW.

On the other hand, it actually is all new stuff, except for the last show of the night.
