The One Piece addiction is real
Franky didn't deserve that.
I like this. That was honestly a really funny moment.
I see that some people think that Luffy's line of "We'll never be able to face Pedro again", in reference to them needing to focus and take advantage of the chaos Pedro gave them in order to safely escape, means that Pedro is indeed alive.
But I don't get it.
If they didn't take advantage of the situation, well... they'd be as good as dead, considering Big Mom and co. are all right there. Not captured or anything... Dead. And if they fail, well, there's no reason to think that Pedro would be the only one to make it out alive (Hell, how is he supposed to make it out alive now if he really is alive? He'd still be surrounded while heavily injured...), so I took that to mean that it'd be a really awkward situation (understatement) to see Pedro in the afterlife if they had failed and ended up getting killed, as that of course would have essentially made Pedro's sacrifice pointless. The way I read it, Luffy at the very least is currently under the impression that he's dead, and as a result, doesn't want his sacrifice to go to waste.
That somehow people took that an entirely different way... that's pretty interesting.

Typically, phrases like "face ___ again" or "see ____ later" under these circumstances refer to the afterlife.
It means "we won't be able to face him in the afterlife"
Nah I just imagine he get captured by Stussy and end up in the government making weapons again for them.

I assume he could get away the same way Mr. 2 did when he was facing down a furious mallegan because of the jailbreak he was enabling and the only person capable of even potentially cure his poison was leaving.
That's the problem with one piece, people have survived things they should have had no chance in hell of doing so multiple times, sometimes without any explanation, which makes it very difficult to take similar situations with the seriousness they probably should be treated with.
No one should not believe Pedro might be alive and knowing Oda history with this.

K so if that pumpkin guy from a few chapters back turns out to be a homie made from Pedro's soul, and Pudding uses memory shenanigans to transform it into some weird replacement pumpkin pseudo-Pedro...
I would kind of dig it.
I would kind of dig it.
Possibly, though
Wouldn't the homie just go back to Pedro reviving him or some shit?
But then again Oda can always pull bullshit like he did in PH.
Mr. 2 surviving is whatever, but I dunno, Perospero lost an arm despite using candy armor. So like... not expecting Pedro to be in the best condition there even if he were actually alive.
It will always be a fair criticism.
That said, I just feel that people are ignoring context with Pedro's situation, because as far as I can recall, he's the only dude who has "died" that's been throwing up death flags since basically Day 1, with the latest chapter even explicitly having him say that he'll be the one to choose where he dies. Other people surviving is ultimately fine by me in the sense that Oda presumably plans on using them again, albeit annoying at times. (Pell will always be infamous for example.) But with Pedro, the repeated implication is that this arc is his "time to shine", that he has completed his objective of rescuing Sanji and retrieving the Poneglyphs, that he doesn't give a shit about anything else, so there isn't much else to do with him other than be one of the many faces in Wano. He is essentially a death wish personified. Not to mention that compared to the other "deaths", his death is clearly being used as a way to further characterize Carrot in the future. So for him to come back, it really does take the wind out of these last two chapters' sails. Not to mention that compared to past "deaths", this arc has literally had him "die" in the same way before in this arc, only for it to be revealed that Chopper saved him at the last second. So for Oda to do the exact same thing the second time around is just... dumb. If this was the first time, then I'd be a lot more skeptical myself.
But some people seem intent on ignoring all of that context, and don't seem to want to even consider the possibility that it might stick for once. The New World has also been better about this (Though people still feel Vergo and Monet are alive, but w/e), so that's another factor. Not saying that they can't be insanely skeptical, they are for obvious reasons, but it is kind of frustrating when these points are being made, but it gets dismissed instantly as being exactly the same as past "deaths". But now that I think about it, what can they really say other than "Oda just doesn't kill people, ok?"
But yea, other than some convoluted solution involving Big Mom's DF and that Pumpkin homie, Oda is gonna have a hard time justifying this one. Though the pumpkin would also be a real headscratcher as well, since Big Mom so far hasn't really foreshadowed anything that would have me believe that Pedro could live through alternative means.
Oops, too late.
That's one way to make a Chimera Ant...

Reminded me of gon and kite, to be honest. It wouldn't be too weird to think luffy thinks he's still alive.

I feel like Luffy is more aware than that.
Sanji will turn it around.

Schrödinger's Cat: Pedro edition
Then... Damn Chiffon.
Then Zoro will be the True king of the pirates
Or likely he will just give the sword to luffy and cries in his sleep as it sits there collecting dust, probably dream of wielding it
luffy will weild it, to eat meat (kebab style).

One Piece Manga |OT3| Et tu, Brulee?
Around 15-16 I watched the anime, binged up to Fishman Island, then I eventually read the manga for that arc due to impatience.
I actually like this one lol
