Oda is a surgeon when it’s comes to story telling. That hand is steady af.

It’s best she doesn’t tell anybody because the more people that know the greater the possibility of a leak on purpose or not. Losing her title would be a serious problem.

Once u reach a certain level though. U can take martial arts and your hands not be considered weapons. U legit have to be a black belt with multiple degrees before that becomes a thing.

Michelle doing Kamehameha as using the conquerors spirit is hilarious 😂😂

I feel like the way Boa handles her trauma is pretty realistic imo. Not everyone will simply just rebrand and toss away the horrors they’ve experienced, some people keep their memories close and develop psychological strategies to cope with overwhelming PTSD. Especially for these women, they were kidnapped, tortured, graped, etc. at the young age of 12 for 4 straight years. No wonder she can’t trust men considering what they’ve put them through. She uses her arrogance and heartless persona to keep people away and to be in power and control to combat the years she was enslaved. She’s clearly still an immature and vulnerable little girl inside, so her tough demeanor is compensation for that. (you’ll see more of that side next week). Ofc this isn’t the ideal method of coping but I like that Oda gives us a character that embraces the flaws of what psychological trauma can do to a person. I like her not because I think she’s a good person, but because she makes sense. My girl needs therapy :,)

They are branded not tattooed then cannot just tattoo over it. They need to rebrand themselves

The only thing is if you take martial arts of any kind your hands are now legally weapons so you can’t really go around hitting people just because they call you names. It HAS to be self defense.

W Windbreaker pfp Hopefully it gets an anime soon

Ahhhh here we go….

Splahes

Exactly. Trauma does tend to linger.

It’s also quite painful so I think hiding it to her is a much easier solution.

This is why Arlong and his crew harbor such deep hatred toward humans. The Celestial Dragons likely don’t even remember the names of the slaves they buy, treating them as disposable and beneath notice. Branding is a blatant symbol of slavery whether it’s the mark of the Celestial Dragons or one from a slave market. Boa Hancock covering her slave brand with another design doesn’t truly erase what it represents; the mark remains a reminder of her past as a slave. Hence, all she could do was hide it. The only known case where a slave mark was meaningfully replaced was with the Sun Pirates’ symbol, used by Fishmen to reclaim their identity. But Hancock couldn’t use that as she wasn’t a member of the Sun Pirates, nor was she a Fishman. And she just doesn't want the fact she was a former slave to be known.

yeah i don't agree with rebranding. It worked for Fisher Tiger because everyone knew that some of his crew were slaves but that's not the case with the Boa sisters and they still in their teens at the time and traumatised because of their horrific ordeals at the hands of the celestials dragons. They also suffer from PTSD because of it. They don't want to relive their trauma and just want to hide from it. But on the other hand they don't want to erase it by rebranding. You also have to think about the culture they grew up in that the strong are beautiful. In a way in their eyes being owned by CDs is a shame. It's something they have to hide. It's a weakness. To never show weakness in front of anyone Hancock developed an arrogant persona in front of other people and started to look down on people. To her it's a defense mechanism that way no one can hurt her anymore if she doesn't let people other than her sisters close to her. She doesn't trust easily.
