The fanbase being desensitized to a visual gag, doesn't mean it isn't there. Wielding a sword in the mouth is a funny fighting style, cool though it is.
G3 was originally seen as a gag by Lucci, and even had a gag side effect of shrinking. G4 boundman was seen as Luffy not taking it seriously...
You do realize the wielding a sword in the mouth thing is a gag in itself right?
NONE of the strawhats are meant to be without some sort of gag, apart from maybe Jinbe, whose seriousness is played as a gag in itself.
