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?
Can’t believe I happened to have such perfect reaction pic to this.
Also: hey, just another evidence that people who refer to women as “females” are misogynist douchebags who lost contact with reality and their opinions should be ignored. Long-time BABD followers would remember that I amdefinitelynot okay with using “female” as a noun in reference to a person.

Oh noes! A world with lots of capable and important women with all kinds of personalities, and their outfits express those personalities and even the male gazey outfit was toned down!
