No, you completly missunderstood my logic, read it again.
It creates a bond because it's an action benefiting Luffy, in dire situations, a distraction towards an enemy matters between life and death situations. You clearly don't understand the subtext of one piece characters sacrificing themselves for a greater good of the protagonist. You don't understand self-sacrifice characterization, clearly. These distractions came at the risk/expense of the character.

Atonement and Self-Sacrifice in Nineteenth-Century Narrative
I suggest you read this book and get back to me, when you're educated on the subject.
Ussop went to defeat Perona, to serve as distraction for the other characters, we saw canonically that Perona was able to defeat all of the SH with no issues, so Ussop, knowing he still didn't stand a chance, went to serve as a distraction to stop Perona.
This has been explained how it's a reinforcement of FDAs because Ussop was already a member of the SH, you are purposely ignoring the pre-SH examples of Yamato/vivi and carrot.
Yes obviously, you can have diferent types of FDA.
Who says it's a pillar? FDA is a
narrative bastion not a pillar. And i explained it at the start, distraction is defined in Oxford as "] a thing that takes your attention away from what you are doing or thinking about ". Tha'ts the basis of entertainment or in this case manga, the SH candidates perform important distractions that aid Luffy and the Story.
There are several plot points that i have listed in my reply that relied on distractions, Yamato distracting Kaido untill Luffy gets back up, Carrot distracting Daifuku so he doesn't focus his atacks on the Sunny.
I already gave objective examples of these points, if you don't understand them it's not my fault.
I have, scroll up.
If that's your response to evidence, ok
Hrhm-hrm, it's a
bastion sir not a pillar
Cute :), sounds like you have an issue with people confident in their reasoning when it's based on logic
