I really wonder what Oda thinks when he writes this shit. Does he unironically think that fans like scabbards?
Does he think that fans get hype for characters like Cobra dying offscreen as if that changes anything? What did Cobra do to care that he died? Vivi is just gonna take the throne and nothing changes.
100 chapters of waiting and the answer to those news is that Sabo escaped and Cobra died....
Oh yeah, Makino crying in the bar makes total sense...
