The duality of man
Okay so I’ve been mentioned literally 13 times, time to peep these spoilers once more:
Fodder: King-san! Queen-san!!
Queen: Owaaah!! I'm the type who doesn't lose weight on purpose!
Ryokugyu: I told you to stop right!? I would lose my face if i lose to a mere commander! The navy don't have military power to 'clean up the aftermath' right now... As i've predicted you guys...
better translation:
...ahh ugh...
"KING!!" "QUEEN!!
Queen: "Aahh!! I'm not the type to lose weight!"
Greenbull: "Shut up!! Didn't I just tell you that now? I'd lose my head if I got stood up by an executive. The Navy doesn't have the strength right now to clean this mess up that you guys made.. you guys are just like I had expected..!!"
glug glug glug (coming from his weird root thingys)

Oh my Fucking god, I love it, I absolutely love it
An Admiral literally solo’ing an entire Yonko crew while also maintaining the facade that the Marines can’t solo a Yonko crew is sure to send these confused Yankers into an eternal mental loop of confusion. Meanwhile, this reiterates the exact points I’ve been making for years, that the Government can easily eliminate the Yonko but
actively chooses not to for a variety of complex reasons
See this is what Wano has been missing, actual fucking nuance, and this is what the Admirals always brought to the OP manga. This is the type of writing that has so thoroughly confused babies for a decade, but made so explicit that now these very same babies can no longer deny that the Government is deliberately allowing the Yonko to exist and deliberately allowing the OP world to maintain the power structure that it is, because said power balance
actively benefits them by allowing them to maintain power.
God damn. I’m sure Yankers will still be confused, but for me this shit is just according to keikaku (translator note: keikaku means plan)
Anyway, best chapter in the past 4 years of One Piece without question.
EDIT: oh and also, Admiral = Commander Fucking obliterated right now.
