I present to you… nameless green giant warrior from the One Piece mobile treasure cruise game… Now I don’t know if these designs are by the big guy Eiichiro Oda himself but… she’s pretty much a good representation for what One Piece has devolved into tbh. (You’ll also notice high heels)
I believe Treasure Cruise has a leveling system and this is her first form to upgraded form?
Male giants for comparison:
I live in a house with a staggering amount of One Piece merchandise throughout it and would never have picked this as being vaguely related without being told.
That’s not to say that One Piece doesn’t dip into the usual fan service tropes but compare the above to say…
Seriously, boobs and generic dudes are not an acceptable substitute for off the wall wackiness. They could at least have tried to make these designs interesting or at least entertaining.
I’m not any good at being funny, but I needed to share this since it’s so perfectly bikini armour. Now, to preface, I’m not going to pretend that One Piece does its female characters and their clothing any kind of justice, since the longer the series goes on, the more clothing the two leading ladies lose… But then you have Rebecca…
Who literally wears a chainmail bikini. And her signature fight style isn’t fighting at all, it’s dodging. That’s right, her key strategy, in those clothes, is evasion. How is she not dead?
First of all, as you said, dodging =/= fighting, so why the pretense of “warrior” outfit and weapon in the first place? Second, how does the use of dodging as a battle strategy guarantee you won’t ever get hit, and therefore won’t need actual protection?
And how is that scalemail bikini top supposed to work without a tit falling out?
