So hold on, you‘re saying the turban-like headdress featuring Luffy‘s hat placed atop what looks like Buggy‘s jolly roger is actually nothing but a pantsu?Okay a few things:
What was piracy like between Joyboy and Roger's eras? Roger's crew is INCREDIBLY well-put-together with like all bases covered, but most crews we see in the modern day are rag-tag as fuck. The Supernova crews, the biggest rookies in the post-Roger era, ain't none of them got slots like a tactical officer or torture officer or intelligence officer... aside from, I assume, Blackbeard's crew- and that can be chalked up to him being a piracy Old Head (despite technically being contemporary with the other Supernovae rookies). I get the feeling that piracy itself was on the cusp of extinction before Roger and Rocks lit the world back on fire, and Roger's declaration just before being executed was more a 'final nail in the coffin' situation for the WG never being able to snuff out Joyboy's will and Nika's influence.
Oda's reaction to somebody figuring out Gil Bastar reminds me of another SBS question asked relatively recently where it was also an almost-impossible guess-observation but I can't remember it.
Yesssss I love that Gaban's name was completely out of left field. Oda's range of interests is wild.
Hol' up, I know Oda was cleverly hiding the Sheeps House location with perspective, but it's in the same village as the castle? Holy shit Harald I know you were trying to make your people more peaceful but you didn't have to utterly neuter opsec. Would it have killed you to have some guys monitoring your back yard? Maybe it did.
HOLY SHIT THE "ZUSHINDODO TRIBE" EXISTS!!
Oda on Gunko's ridiculous outfit: "It's not pantsu if it's connected to the rest of the jacket" Our proud Gooner-Sensei at work
I'll never fully understand people who look at every non-Whitebeard/Roger-like character and constantly see them as fodder. Makes for more of a downer way to read manga I imagine. lol
I guess it‘s about these three guys( starting from the right side I guess). Gotta say I‘ve been thinking about these guys quite a lot when the chapter came out. One of my thoughts was“ They look like fooder and yet there‘s so much detail in everyone of them“
So I‘m sincerely sorry Oda-Sensei for mistaking you for fodder, lol.
That‘s not why I took them for fodder. It‘s rather the popping up out of nowhere and posing big attitude that usually causes these kind of pirates to get fodderized by any known character good or evil. But given the situation there was noone to fodderize them anytime soon and nothing to gain from them being fodderized lol. Also their looks were outstanding so I‘m happy to have my answer now thanks to the SBS.
I imagine those Old Heads (Joyboy, Roger, and Xebec in particular) were probably out at sea for very specific reason to begin with and had to have to their shit together to accomplish anything, especially if the Marines and WG had the seas lockdown moreso than they currently do.
IIRC it was also hinted that Elbaf giants were having supremacy at land and sea(?) for quite some time. I wonder if it was pre- or post Joyboy though. I guess it was before Joyboy did set sail. I also do wonder if this is related to Dory‘s and Broggy‘s exploits at sea , for instance like the two were inspired and following in their ancestors footsteps.
I guess I just think differently. I'm just amused to see what creative quirky designs Oda is willing to put out. I'm not the sort of person to have "fodder" cross their mind often.
The guy with his tongue sticking out kind of looks like a young Blackbeard.

Also interesting to think how often Oda had considered some of these roles for the Straw Hats.
I wish Oda went that way with Moria !
Not a direct reply to your comment but @costicla I feel obliged to give you credit for calling out the Dosundada to be human Tontatta hybrids. Well done! I remember myself to be in disbelief back then, lol.

Yeah to me it felt refreshing too, it‘s not that I want to call every pirate whom I can‘t powerscale and who doesn‘t look as impressive as Roger or WB fodder, it‘s just that I failed to find the meaning of said characters and so I‘m happy to have learned their purpose, it‘s a tribute from Oda to his fellow Mangaka as well as making a bit fun of himself as well while celebrating himself as a Mangaka, too.
Also seems Moriah was slowly trying to bebuild Rocks crew in a way with the zombies since both Gil and John ended up as General Zombies.
Well I can only see this working with a male dwarf and a female giant I just CAN‘T picture the other way around working lol.
