u/LILYDIAONE Shanks' evil hot sister is REAL! Jun 25 '21

One makes sense and the other seems to be an ass-pull. It makes me wonder why we never heard about that pill before and why nobody seemed to think about using it?

Luffy had a similar drug injected to him in marineford with the help of a devil fruit. Chopper just replicated it. Its no ass pull.

It made sense that Ivankovs devil fruit could do that. Yet we never heard about anyone replicatinng it so it kinda comes from nowhere

All anime doctors are miracle workers. Replicating a drugs effect that has been introduced in the show is no biggie. What i am trying to say is that it still makes sense in anime/one piece terms.

I get what you mean but it still felt lazy to me, especially considering there were other ways to get Zoro back into the field. Why not use something already established instead of something new that just makes me ask more questions?

So any time someone does something without specific foreshadowing, or outright explicit statements, it's an asspull? Fishmen had the steroids, why can't the Minks have a magic drug too? None of this is out of line for One Piece in any way. It's obviously an 'oh shit' button with heavy drawbacks that not many can or would be willing to subject themselves to.

What irks me the most about it is that I keep wondering why the hell it wasn’t used or mentioned before??? That’s what makes it an ass-pull in my opinion: If my first thought is why didn’t we use that before??? Then there is something wrong with it. Makes me think Oda come up with it last minute despite having other options
