Mmmhmm, Oda also went pretty damn far with Pound. Had him in an inescapable situation, with a guy several hundred times above his pay grade about to decapitate him, even showed a weapon afterwards dripping in blood and yet...
This is why nobody takes character deaths seriously in One Piece unless the fan base actually sees a visible corpse (and even then Moscato came back).
Meanwhile, Oda expects folk to believe a New World veteran like Pedro is dead from a building level explosion that would not even tickle nuke tanking Pre-TS scrub Pell.
Man do I sure love some wholesome onscreen decapitation, lobotomisation and evisceration in my young kids manga. Tis a little something for the whole family to enjoy.
Meanwhile, Oda expects folk to believe a New World veteran like Pedro is dead from a building level explosion that would not even tickle nuke tanking Pre-TS scrub Pell.
Showing shattered pedo is definitely very horrible and can’t be compared with anything you listed.
Anyways we will see in the next 2-3 chapters.
