I really gotta ask, are people THAT shocked? This shit happens everytime Nika's crew meets a threshold they arent ready for, namely Nika's enemies.
Sanji and Zoro fans WILL get their due diligence against Admirals, just not THIS Admiral.
that ain't the problem lol.
It's the constant Nika wank by characters that were previously unassociated with Nika, or any character in general, new or returning.
Granted, the giants do have some connection. But it got old in wano, the Nika wank. so it's even worse in egghead.
Luffy is literally pirate Jesus now.
As someone who started out as a naruto fan, and only even began one piece cause naruto went downhill in it's last arcs with the whole ninja jesus destiny reincarnation bullshit, one piece is looking REAL FAMILIAR right about now...
And i don't think oda is planning to stop or at least dial back the Nika wank any time soon. Or AT ALL.
