And you think Oda has the time to give Franky an extreme diff fight. Franky’s focus is over lol. Brook got cucked this arc. His fault for shining too much last arc.
That's not even what I'm saying. Go through my post history. My whole advocation for including the BMP when the island lands is to purely up the desperation of the arc battles.
Think back to Enies Lobby. There was island fodder, then there were Marine Captains who were partial fodder and partially, to some effect, detrimental to the crew failing to leave (Zoro lost a sword).
What im talking about is narratively giving the BMP SOME level of presence in the final parts of the arc while the Yonko are being beat. I'm not expecting high diff 1v1s. I'm expecting montage war-type paneling that circles back to Marineford.
If their captain is going down, so should they. Smoothie and Snack were teased in WCI with no payoff. Literally, manga Snack is STILL a silhouette lol. That's all I'm saying. It's worth it to have these moments. One person can take out the rest of the Numbers, nbd.
