Lawl, Aethos
You're two spare ribs short of a decent teriyaki stimulus.
Don't you realize what your doing? You're ignoring the cold hard facts. Yes, Pauly = Friend Yes Conis = Friend But nakama rope times angle wings, a crew mate does not check.
It would make sense if maybe Pauly had actually traveled with them, or maybe Conis appeared in the crew mate chapter covers. But no. To no such avail.
Have you suddenly forgotten about, ohh I don't know… Luffy's father? Did you forget about the Revolutionaries all of "the sudden"? How convenient that must be for you. You were probably laughing hysterically over your keyboard at the very deletion of him from all of your arguments.
The big W.G. is becoming unstable. Forces are in motion. When the rebellion hits, who will be targeted? Any possible threat. The Straw Hats are on the most wanted list, and any one in affiliation with them will not be spared.
I hate to say it Aethos, but your being ridiculous. Just because you utterly detest a character, does not mean that they aren't there.
