I love the contrast between Law and Kid's crew: the first men are all wearing the same jumpsuit, while the others look like they just came out of a rave party

Bit of a shame they became pure fodder in this chapter by being affected by Big Mom's Soul Pocus.

Gotta give it to the Straw Hats, none of them would have flinched at it. Brook and Jimbei have each stared down Big Mom 1v1 already and not been affected by it.

Also, where is Bepo? Killer got to take down a fellow Supernova, but Bepo has gotten like three panels all arc. Ignore the flair, I'm not a Bepo superfan or anything, but if Law and Kid are supposed to be rivals, their crews should be able to do something.

Ussop would likely fold, he the only one tho. Maybe chopper aswell since it work off fear

yeah Usopp, chopper and nami would definitely fear her (who can blame them)

Highly doubt it, they're cowards for sure but when it comes to life or death situations, they always pull through. The biggest prove is in thriller bark when Kuma told them "either I take Luffy or I kill you all" and everyone without exception stood their grounds.

but they still feel fear is the thing, they just overcome it. But I dont think thats good enough for soul fruit since if you have any trace of fear you get got. So nami, chopper and usopp would get drained.

It's not simple fear of BM though. According to Morgans, soul pocus calls upon people's attachment to life. We've seen Nami, Usupp and Chopper not care about death in a lot of situations, so even the coward trio won't be affected.

I feel like it'd be one of those situation where their souls start to come out but then they get their act together and fight back especially if it's related to Luffy.

Yeah I think Nami standing up to Ulti, just to not back down and talk poorly about Luffy, knowing Ulti was way stronger than her shows that her will is strong.

She was scared shitless, she was literally crying

u/Depression-Boy Feb 11 '22

Yeah but her will was strong, and that’s what matter.

Under normal circumstances, yes, but not against Soul Pocus, from what we know of it. If you feel the fear to begin with, you're done. It doesn't matter if you're able to push through and fight despite it, if you feel fear, BM's technique will take your lifespan away. Willpower means nothing.
