Personally I don‘t want this, but Oda can still go that route, especially with Linlin having suffered this much internal damage by now…
		
		
	 
 Yeah I think it would be believable at this point 
I love death in fiction so any time thats an Option I'm down for it usually 
But I also love stories that reflect the horrors of our existence 
But most people go to  read or watch them to escape those things which is understandable 
It's why i ended up falling in love with chainsaw man and fire punch (shounen jump examples) 
Because rather than going around those things or avoiding them entirely 
Those series embrace them 
Also I love an organice flow of events even when it goes against normative dramatic story telling 
Big reason why I love this fight
