I don't think she wouldn't have bothered swindling a poor person. They'd have nothing to take.

Generally speaking, it's only worth swindling the poor when you can do it to a lot of them all at once. A one on one con like this just isn't worth the effort or the return for anyone but the rich (or the ~~~middle class~~~).

Exploration is ill-advised.
She's literally a sex worker apparently in indentured servitude, not surprising if she takes every opportunity to profit from idiots who forget she's literally paid to be nice to them.

Could be doing a long con on Orochi same as Robin.

Something inside me calls out passionately to the landscape I saw - the end of the sea of corruption to which you led me.
I don't find Komurasaki or the old guy blameless. :P Don't scam people, and families are generally not something you want to sell.

The biggest bombshell this chapter is by far that Shanks / his crew cut off someone's arm. I mean I know they killed a dude, but delimbing is still not something you'd expect them to do.

We the audience have a pretty biased view of Shanks. Since he's pals with Luffy we've only seen his good side for the most part.
We also know he's not the type of guy who actively seeks out conflict.
On the other hand we have Kid a guy who is infamous for torching down entire cities, and generally being an unpleasant person to be around.

He tried starting poo poo with an emperor and got off ONLY missing a limb.

The Red-Haired pirates got the first onscreen kill of the series, iirc. They're slow to anger and smarter than they look, but absolutely do not gently caress around.

I might be mistaken here...but wasnt he always 1 armed but we didnt know why? it seemed like he always had one fruit enabled arm they just revealed while he's always had one arm?

No it was stated he lost his arm during the 2 year timeskip.
You can see both his hands in the scene after the auction house:

I'm not making a fucking QCS thread for this but seriously can we take a harder stance on Kiwifarms freaks like this guy, Jesus Christ seriously, you used to be better at knocking these creeps down. I guess ADTRW mods aren't responsible like GBS mods are.

Not the best example because his missing arm is still hidden, but if you read a couple chapters up, he does have both arms.

I mean, there's nothing about this that suggests it was some deliberate, sadistic punishment rather than a natural consequence of crossing blades with an Emperor's crew. Shanks was a rival to Mihawk - is it really a surprise that going up against him might be hazardous to your limbs?

Theoretically, it should. Like, if you cut off luffy's arm, I doubt it would stop being rubber.

I'm having trouble remembering if there's any reason to say that he can't. If you can just fry everything with lightning, trying to go after the little bit of metal that was up there would be a waste. But yeah, fine enough control over electricity would be like having indirect magnetic powers.
