??not sure what "downplay" you referring to
- Talks casually with Roger like an equal even laughs at him
- Gets mad at Primebeard almost sneak diffing her -> reveal that she they used to fight with no actual victor in their rocks days
- Runs away from garp -> Primebeard does same and says it will take too long to fight him
- Atk does nothing to garp (this one is debatable) -> garp uses AdCoC shield to guard her signature jobber move
- Gets sneaked by kaido -> gets up js fine and proceeds to go ham on him, he runs away
- Included in the legendary SIX that fight against Imu in god valley (shiki and ray nowhere to be seen)
No downplay overall js reactionary piece from leaks and spoilers. The funniest thing tho? Lotta mfs here swore up down left right shiki was 3rd strongest in the crew. Turns out he actually belongs to the tobi roppo of rocks lmfao
Not sure why youre so bent on focusing on BM when propagandabeard is legit the one who suffers the most from this flashback. Xebec loyal lackey, hides from garp, not respected by anyone in the crew except the cabin boy, stalemated rookie Linlin, etc. As everyone here can tell you, god valley ruined his MF image completely and if he knew Imu existed yet called himself WSM then thats js fraud behavior
