spoilers also CW:SA
Gonna be honest I don't think Ginny's story was handled very well in this one. It's a character we barely known for two chapters, and then we learn she got SA'd and died shortly after. Kuma's backstory was very good until now but this kinda falls into the old "Using sexual violence against a female love interest to fuel the tragedy" of a male character trope, apart from being an extremely dark aspect of slavery even One Piece avoided until now. Maybe I'm wrong, I've seen wildly polarising takes on this chapter but it did left me with a bad tast personallyCW
i personally found it very impactful, but that's in the context of this just slowly peeling back over time how monstrous the celestial dragons actually are. it does feel like oda's rushing though. i also feel that it helps that ginny is pretty explicitly not kuma's partner, and so this lacks the general "ownership of women" aspect that is usually centered in the "sexual violence fuels tragedy for a male character" trope. that said, it's not particularly progressive either since ginny gets off-screened. also bonney being 12 is WILDSpoiler
Yea, that means she was 10 years old pre-timeskip right? That's a insane age to be a pirate captain, especially one of the "worst generation"spoiler
yup exactly. really cool to see ginny's childhood friends be two of her crewmates though.
