That literally just goes under his belt and over his pants lol
He's literally still dealing with king and queen there. He's just started to pierce king. He ain't using his sword AT ALL lol
Cause he doesn't need to against fodder like king and queen
And your argument involves people having to ignore the fact that he blackened a sword he wasn't even using...
why the fuck would oda just not show him using the sword if he wanted to make sure that he was using it?
You're head canon needs us to think so convolutedly to explain why oda would make his sword black even tho he wasn't using it at all lol
Here's GB way after the negging of king and queen, and the sword still is black...
We can easily deduce it from the fact that GB says king and queen are fodder to him.
And the fact that queen is in the process of getting slim and king is just getting pierced. So GB just started fucking them up at that point. there was no fight.
Until shown otherwise, he didn't. It wasn't even implied at all. They don't have any cuts or shit like that that would tell us he used his sword. Claiming he did is like the literal definition of head canon lol.
We can. Because we already know how a wooden bokken looks like. It is not shaded black at all
This is a bokken
GB has a kokuto. you claiming he doesn't have it doesn't make it true.
