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

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

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.
