No, because one thing is a sword giving you a power bonus, and the other giving you the full, exact same strength of the previous user in spite of only having part of their soul. You said: And this is factually false as per canon material. Period. While this doesn't mean that Zoro was using...

Except for: 1) It isn't said in a spiritual context. Kawamatsu is talking about getting stronger and enabling you to physically defeat enemies in battle. 2) A stronger spirit leads to stronger overall. Whether it is directly or not, it makes you stronger at the end of the day. Again, a sword...

He is not, Doflamingo realised the same as he mentioned in Punk Hazard.

Kawamatsu explicitly stated that it indeed does: "The soul that resides in a katana makes a samurai strong, and enables him to destroy his enemies". PD: anime isn't canon. It made Brook suffer from electrocution, had Hawkins saying Drake was the 1% man, turned Trébol into a logia user and so...

As if the slaves were going to survive that; in fact, they had more chances of dying than the celestials themselves.

Zoro is significantly weaker with one less sword, let alone without them all. This was established back in Syrup's arc: Zoro was having trouble against the Nyaban brothers while using one sword and only obliterated them when he could use not only three swords but the three-sword style (since he...

This isn't a belief but a fact. The Soru Soru proves souls exists; the Yami Yami proves they go to an afterlife. We've even Lao G dying for a moment and his soul leaving his body.

It isn't, it's more akin to that of musketeers if we went for a popularly identifiable stereotype, although its overall name is capitano hat and its later version cavalier hat; which belong to XVI and XVII centuries, more or less. Conquistadores were better identified by their distinctive helmet...

Hopefully Saturn. Not only for the obvious reference to the mythical Saturn killing his own children, but also because Oda could execute the perfect homage to Star Wars. Bonney: Saturn, you killed my father! Saturn: No; I am your father.

That, first, filling a role isn't necessary; and even if it was necessary, Jinbe does fill one more important than others in the crew. Franky can't handle the helm the way Jinbe can. Noone else in the crew is close to being able to truly steer the ship. Put Jinbe in the different situations...

A swordsman is also an useless position too. So is a cook (you don't need a Michelin star chef, just a person keeping scurvy away). And a musician. Knock up stream helped destroy Merry, in Fishman Island their buble almost exploded and they evaded Garp because they had one trick to fly away...

Jinbe actually has a role to fill, represents fishmen as the race which best symbolizes discrimination against non humans and his actions through Marineford and how he supported Luffy after Ace's death made him one of his closest acquaintances. Also, Jinbe's foundations as a character were so...

Yeah, I'm sure that applies to the person with the fruit that makes you an adult and changes your body depending on potential futures.

I did since the moment I saw her overreaction to bugs and how she cried over Luffy trying to hurt his "daddy".

Maybe when someone actual speaks in the story about a monster duo we will talk; sadly for you, the monster trio is the one actually mentioned in the manga.

That kind of comments have been there since Water 7, where Garp referred to Luffy as "my son's son".

He wasn't, he's simply the only Worst Generation member to come from West Blue.

He made his decision to go after One Piece when Luffy finally established himself as a serious contender for finding the treasure in the close future. Sounds more like Shanks was waiting for Luffy to be an actual adversary for him so didn't make a move until he had become a Great Pirate and...

There was a whole sequence clearly lacking inbetween frames. Almost felt like the animation was lagged.

Borsalino joined when he was 26 and Sakazuki when he was 22; 32 years ago. So they weren't even marines during God Valley.
