This just in:
Lance offered themself to Oda so that Oda wouldn’t neg-diff the5thyonko.
Oda said he would let the5thyonko live, but Lance would have to take the5thyonkos place.
Lance ended up taking all of the5thyonko’s spoils. That’s why admiralkinyagi thought Lance died, but in reality nothing happened.
spoils really are a pain in the ass.
