The cut is quite clearly above the heart level
I know Oda is trash
but this is literally one of few times where fanbase was made up of normalfags that somehow spread misinformation amongs themselves about holy bums can only be killed by strong enough CoC
instead of actually reading what was happening.
All situations can easily be explained:
-Why didn't Roger pirates know about the hearts? Because Holyroppo were trashed aside easily so they had no reason to inspect them. If cutting head of doesn't work, no one actually thinks "gee, let's check his penis, heart, lungs...etc".
-Gunko's heart was fine after Usopp, it just fell down to her crotch.
Holy bums and Bumrosei were always ultra fucking fodder that set up to die with a gimmick like metal heart from the start.
I cannot believe I have to explain this basic shit to like toddlers.
Can't wait for this moronic ass fanbase to find out in like 4 years that Gorosei have perma Omen buff from the start, they are gonna breakdown at the most obvious conclusion like always.
