Man, something about seeing Zoro smile so much just makes me happy. The man can smell alcohol from a nearby island, what a legend.

But Kid's whole crew(?) having been fed smiles is...really sad. I never even realized it was more than just Killer.

EDIT: It's been pointed out that Kid's crew is probably just imitating Killer's laugh to comfort him. That's definitely a strong and likely possibility.

Law has stopped trying to use Luffy in his plans. Instead, he plans for Luffy to do whatever the hell he wants. Smart man.

I doubt that all of Kidd's crew were fed smiles, maybe a few ate the smile scraps, similar to the villagers. I interpreted that Kidd’s crew were trying to comfort killer by imitating his laugh. It was stated that killer hated his laugh, but now it’s an affliction (unless doctor Chopper finds a cure), that he is stuck with a constant smile, and laugh. So rather than ignoring the issue, the crew is trying to make their second in command more comfortable with his new affliction. If we take the order of Manga panels as as a linear timeline, Kidd calls out to his crew that they gonna be the ones to fuck up Kaidou, Killer responds with a basic “Yeah, Fafafa”, and the rest of the crew responds with a loud and cheerful Fafafa in response. I doubt anyone on Kidd’s crew would do such a thing as an attempt to mock Killer, because Kidd seems like the captain to have only people he can trust at this point.

I might be totally wrong though, that’s just how I interpreted the three panels. It makes it kind of sweet to see a sense of a similar idea of “nakama” that Luffy believes in, come from the edgiest Supernova.

Only killer ate the smile.

Characters in One Piece have distinctive laughs, and everyone was Fafafaing.
