Eiichiro Oda screwed the Kuja Pirates. And not in a good way.
It’s bad enough Amazon Lily’s current head honcho’s known more for her beauty than talent. But, in today’s chapter, we learn that’s always been the case!
The Kuja Pirates aren’t dangerous because of their resources, or skill, or strength. No. It’s because they’re attractive.
That’s it.
If they happened to be gorgeous but still kick ass like Wonder Woman or Xena: Warrior Princess, fine. I’d have no problem with that. They’ll just be powerful fighters who happened to be attractive. BUT! Making Boa Hancock, Glorioso, and Shakky’s beauty their defining trait (and the ONLY reason they win fights) is lazy.
And just plain misogynistic.
Let’s talk about the second, better half of this chapter, shall we?
