Katakuris flashback is completely pointless in the grand scheme of things.
If oda never added it, nothing would change.
The same cant be said about kings flashback since it gave us important lore and will be used again in the future.
that's were my opinion is completely different
to me the flashback is about the character, making me care about their struggles to get were they are now
if the purpose of a flashback is just lore outside the character, i won't get any emotional attachment to it
i much prefer Katakuri's "pointless" flashback like you said, then King's boring and emotionless flashback with lore
Nami's and Zoro's flashbacks for example have no lore at all, pretty simple stories, but they tell me why the characters are the way they are, and made me feel their struggles and care about them
Senor Pink is also the same shit, no lore, just about a character and why i should care about that dude using baby's clothing
in fact, since One Piece stopped focusing on characters and started focusing only on lore and big world events, it has become worse for me
but everyone likes what they like i guess

I am facing the same issue
I think he meant he is gonna die without taking them out
not that his teeth are making him die
i can see why you read like that though
