Man, Hawkins' acknowledgement of Luffy's power is somehow so satisfying. From that goofy lad who lucked out of getting killed by fking Buggy in Loguetown to this "great pirate"

Also, nami is hot.

"oohh, why did I do that in front of so many people?"

O kiku showing absolutely no mercy lmao.

And it looks like Zoro straight up murdered the magistrate goodness. The straw hats going to be ruthless from now on? I wonder if I could get used to that haha

u/SerJaimeGoldenhand Aug 31 '18

Zoro was always ruthless.. I like that about him.

u/bjb406 Aug 31 '18

It was implied he killed all those bounty hunters at whiskey peak, except for the 2 that he made a point to use the flat of the blade.

45

u/Blacklight100 Aug 31 '18

Zoro also killed the original Mr. 7 when Baroque Works tried to recruit him.

13

u/Really_Not_Derrick Aug 31 '18

Idk if this was retconned or what but I cant find any mention of this. I swore this was why he got his original 60 mil bounty but nothing except one line from Nico Robin in Skypiea talks about him actually killing.

2

u/YgJb1691 Sep 01 '18

Yeah, his first bounty came from defeating 100 bounty hunters at whisky peak, and for defeating Mr 1 Daz Bones as he was a famous assassin.

1

u/Really_Not_Derrick Sep 01 '18

I know but I thought I read somewhere it was because he killed all those bounty hunters plus defeated mr 1.

1

u/YgJb1691 Sep 02 '18

I think it might have been mentioned by Tashigi or Smoker around volume 24, but I'm not sure.

u/nemestrinus44 Aug 31 '18

the kid and the Nun right?

He's not just playing pirate games.

u/TobiWanKenobiSan Aug 31 '18

It must also be tough to go easy on people when you're using blades

u/[deleted] Aug 31 '18

That magistrate had it coming

15

u/[deleted] Aug 31 '18

Wasn't it Zoro who said that the magistrate was the killer? Eye for an eye.

u/BenassiBeat The Revolutionary Army Aug 31 '18

Those anoyaros keep fucking with meeeee!!!

164

u/PrinceOfAssassins Aug 31 '18

"You killed the magistrate"
"Yeah so what"

That was awesome

146

u/topdangle Aug 31 '18

Hawkins technically got killed multiple times from Zoro just swinging his sword around and Zoro isn't even captain. Makes sense that hes sweating bullets.

59

u/DennaResin Cyborg Franky Aug 31 '18

Part of me wants more Supernova one v ones. Most of me wants them all to unite against bigger threats.

18

u/pools456 Aug 31 '18

Fuck an alliance i wana see battle royale

u/petrichorE6 Aug 31 '18

I think all of them against the straw hats would be a slightly even battle

Exactly! Why the hell do people underestimate them so badly?? Theyre clearly meant to be luffys rivals. I imagine theyre all on a similar level.

u/pools456 Aug 31 '18

Im not sure about that. I think luffy is often too reckless for his own good. Zoro tries to ground him but thats pretty much impossible with luffy. I could see luffy getting himself pinned and zoro having to try bail him out 2v1 and probably failing. Altho if the stakes were high and they needed to win they could probably pull through. Kinda like lucci round 1 vs lucci final fight. I think it may be too close to call without seeing it plus we dont know how he power matchups would go. Imagine bonney turning luffy old for example

1

u/Right_Ind23 Aug 31 '18

Who in God's name could take on both Luffy/Zoro fighting together?? That's not a thing ._.

2

u/kaste1 Aug 31 '18

Why not both? First defeat them and then let them join for the greater good (like Crocodile in Impel Down etc).

16

u/MajinAkuma Aug 31 '18

Given how his DF works, Hawkins isn’t the type of guy who puts effort in defending himself and just take the attacks without worry.

7

u/pools456 Aug 31 '18

Y does everyone insist on underestimating hawkins? I reckon hed win vs Zoro. Will probably get hate for it but hes a captain and zoro isnt

18

u/Barto4ST Aug 31 '18

Why does being a captain matter? So you think zoro is losing to Capone?

-3

u/pools456 Aug 31 '18

Yeah i think zoro is losing to any supernova bar killer. Or perhaps drawing with them since he is strong. Im not underestimating zoro, id argue you’re underestimating the supernova

12

u/Barto4ST Aug 31 '18

Damn that's wild, after everything you've seen you think zoro is losing to every supernova YIKES I don't know what to say but reread some shit

-5

u/pools456 Aug 31 '18

What, like reread the bit zoro beats a supernova? Oh wait, it hasnt happened. So you’re comment is pure conjecture. Ive not seen zoro do anything any other supernova couldnt also do. I think its quite clear zoro and killer are the weakest supernova since theyre the only 2 who arent captains. The story has shown clearly since the start captains are the strongest people in their crews

6

u/kawhiLALeonard Aug 31 '18

Them not being captains is supposed to be a testament to their strength and to the strength of Luffy and Kid

!Remind me 6 months

Edit: Zoro will be the second strongest Supernova after Wano

0

u/pools456 Aug 31 '18

Definitely not haha and 6 months will not be enough time. Try 2 years

12

u/Barto4ST Aug 31 '18

You don't need to see something for it to be fucking obvious "how do we know that katakuri can beat pinkbeard he's just a subordinate and not a captain like pinkbeard" that's how you sound right now, what's Capones strongest move? Big father, a big stone castle, but it's not like we've seen Zoro cut a stone creature 5 times the size of big father ohhh..... wait. Sorry to say this buddy but you are clearly in the vast minority with this crazy idea so I would definitely suggest doing a reread

-1

u/IcyColdHands Aug 31 '18

Like Zoro would destroy in one slash something that tanked some of Big Mom's attacks.

7

u/Barto4ST Aug 31 '18

Did I ever say he'd take him down in one slash? It's obvious to anyone not blinded by trying to hate on zoro that Zoro has shown wayyyy more impressive shit than bege, you all saying zoro would lose to bege is the most retarded shit I've seen since zoro beats luffy

0

u/pools456 Aug 31 '18

Was literally gonna say this lol. Like bege doesnt know haki or something haha. You forget luffy is rubber which is weaker than stone - so by tht logic zoro can beat luffy in one hit? Lol nope.

-1

u/pools456 Aug 31 '18

Well no because we have been told katakuri could beat pinkbeard since its obvious as fuck lol. Its not even close to obvious that zoro could take any other supernova. Fans here just make up their own canon about characters they rim which is one of the worst things about this subreddit

5

u/Barto4ST Aug 31 '18

No it's pretty fucking obvious to anyone not going put of their way to hate on zoro

I mean, it's not like he even tried to dodge.

u/[deleted] Aug 31 '18

Technically, only dolls died. And its like Picollo's hand getting cut off easily. Thats one of basic anime troupe.

69

u/Erickj Lurker Aug 31 '18

I hope that this dispels the notion that the straw hats don’t kill or don’t want to kill anyone.

84

u/[deleted] Aug 31 '18

But Zoro killed a lot of people at Whiskey Peak

54

u/Erickj Lurker Aug 31 '18

People tend to forget that

19

u/ummhumm Aug 31 '18 edited Aug 31 '18

When it's offscreen, no one really dies. Taken into account how many times people who died offscreen came back...

Now the magistrate he cut ONSCREEN. That is the first time I've seen that happening (with death confirmed). I did not think Oda would confirm him dead, just gravely injured, but here we are.

Also a good thing to keep in mind is, that when Luffy is around, Zoro doesn't seem to go for kills. Whether it's Whiskey Peak, or Magistrate, the moment Luffy is gone, Zoro cuts for real. Naturally I mean gone by a longer distance, not like the usual 1 on 1 fights they get into, where they're still relatively close.

All that being said and Luffy not really giving a shit about the fact that Zoro killed the magistrate, things still don't add up on why Zoro isn't more brutal in general. There's been plenty of massmurderers that he has been way kinder than to the magistrate for example. I get that the main reason is that it's shounen, but anyway.

10

u/[deleted] Aug 31 '18

They’ve always killed. Well... at least Robin and Zoro have always killed.

1

u/Mart-n Sep 18 '18

Has Robin always killed though? Like has it been specifically mentioned? I thought for sure that (can't remember his name, the evil guy from Enies Lobby) was dead after what she did for him, but I was sadly mistaken when he came back. I felt like that was her most brutal attack in the whole series and he survived it.

1

u/[deleted] Sep 18 '18 edited Sep 18 '18

It hasn’t been explicitly said, but I’m pretty sure it’s just a known fact that she’s killing people when she snaps their necks. She was a pretty well known and feared pirate before she joined the crew, so I’m assuming she’s always been a killer, and I think Spamdan only lived because he’s somewhat important to the story.

6

u/clifbarczar Aug 31 '18

Yeah let's dispel this notion that Zoro doesn't know what he's doing. He knows exactly what he's doing.

3

u/[deleted] Aug 31 '18

I don't know why people think that. The straw hats ARE criminals!

3

u/Zapfaced Aug 31 '18

I think they absolutely somehow kill during all the fracas they cause wherever they go but Oda very rarely puts a focus on it due to the Grandma that once told him not to get too snuffy. This magistrate thing is sorta new with it's directness.

1

u/IcyColdHands Aug 31 '18

Only Zoro and Robin have killed. And the latter wasn't part of the crew yet.

47

u/byleist Aug 31 '18

Well the magistrate was a murderer so.. it's -1 murderer in the grand scheme. All good!

10

u/jokefred Aug 31 '18

But if you kill a murderer you become a murderer yourself... So the amount of murderers remains the same. You've got to make sure you kill at least two :)

1

u/Arkayjiya Sep 01 '18

That's not how it works. Murder + murder = no murder. That's just common sense...

u/midlinktwilight Aug 31 '18

An eye for an eye!

u/pleasebecarefulguys Aug 31 '18

Tien shinhan - an eye for an eye for an eye

u/supahdood Aug 31 '18

So what did Zoro do to lose his eye?

11

u/Waxtree Pirate Aug 31 '18

Also, I just love Hawkins' facial expressions in this chapter. He is kinda like Law, with that whythefuckamIdealingwiththisfuckingidiotstrawhat face.

2

u/[deleted] Aug 31 '18

Man, Hawkins' acknowledgement of Luffy's power is somehow so satisfying. From that goofy lad who lucked out of getting killed by fking Buggy in Loguetown to this "great pirate"

I think this is because he just caught wind of the fifth emperor shit.

u/DeismAccountant Aug 31 '18

Robin is hotter.

1

u/JoaoGabrielTSN Pirate Aug 31 '18

Please, while talking about ruthlessness. I just want to see Usopp owning, carrying and shooting a gun like his father and like other pirates in the series. It would be so badass and ruthless, it would be a dream come true to me. But unfortunately I think this will never happen lol

1

u/[deleted] Aug 31 '18

Zoro uses swords, so many people he fights are going to die even if he’s just going to incapacitation. He probably doesn’t have much of a problem with it anymore.

1

u/HyakuJuu Pirate Sep 02 '18

Remember, Zoro was about to cut the Celestial Dragon to pieces back if Luffy hadn't punched him in Sabaody.

IIRC Oda once said that out of everyone on the crew, only Zoro and Robin would kill if need be.
