Tbh after what the world's strongest, angriest, most racist tree did to king and queen, I'm not surprised. Granted they were still injured ofc and King lost a wing I believe but still.
Room temperature IQ Admiral downplayers need to chill out like Cracker there, to get a swift, merciless, silent humbling like that.
So glad Auger is actually being hype here again, him shooting the seagull from an island away across the ocean and instantly blitzing Ace which would have killed him surely if he wasn't a logia ofc or Luffy is very underrated.
Snipers are extremely badass and awesome along with gunslinger in general and I hope Oda really pops off with them, pun intended with the RHP and BBP at least.
I remember seeing a theory of Blackbeard making wormholes/portals and shooting bullets through it but funnily enough we have a teleporting Sniper with Auger now ofc.
I've wanted to see a sniper or gunslinger use ricochet/trick shots to full effect in OP too, I was hoping for a gun wielding Admiral with an energy logia in this regard too then. Energy powered and accelerated shots too.
But yeah when they want to or Oda insists, Toei really know how to deliver and hype, to add what's greatly missing.
That cover page with the frozen Cracker was magnificently drawn and pure nightmare fuel, Kuzan can be truly merciless and thus "cold as ice" when needed. He's so underestimated too.
Kuzan could instantly kill you so easily. Instantly freeze amd shatter you or bisect or decapitate you as you're frozen or push your frozen statue over or whatever. I'm sure at some point someone WILL be frozen by him and Blackbeard will shatter then into millions of tiny shards instantly too with the gura gura (lmao autocorrect called it guru guru).
