One Piece Episode 653

[Kraco]

Nonsense. Brook is totally a badass.

Yeah, he is, but he's an artist first, fighter second, like we saw during this fight as well. Which is just fine, since that's his role and he's pulling it off well. A bard in RPG terms.

Frankly, they didn't NEED to finish her off, because she's a fruit user, and they had cuffs. They just needed the ONE FUCKING PERSON present that could actually TOUCH the cuffs to not be a chickenshit for 10 SECONDS, and cuff a fucking unconscious person.

I counted that as finishing her off. The same as kicking her into the sea. That is, doing anything at all to make sure she wouldn't stand up and continue the fight.

I liked that he said Zoro was considered the Vice Captain(1st Mate). I'd always felt that way, but nobody in series had ever said it before. He's always just described as the Strawhat's swordsman/warrior.

My memory being what it is, I can't be absolutely sure, but I have quite a solid feeling Zoro has been called that before, in one way or another. At the very least the second in command if not vice captain literally.
