@Kaido:
Something to keep in mind is that Cracker did not sustain any injuries during his fight with Luffy until he was propelled to his defeat. He effectively lost the second he said that hates pain and cracked first and attacked Luffy himself instead of continuing his biscuit offensive.
It's much the same with Katakuri. He failed to successfully take down Luffy before seeing her sister helping him at the job proving him being the opposite of perfection, and that's what decided the battle. He still had a chance of beating Luffy after the fact, but it proved to be too little, too late.
Let me fix it for you.
So Viz changed it to "thing"… i like my Pudding being that bold, a kiss request?? Stole that kiss from Lanji, gal!
