I can safely vest my first major criticism of this arc in being how dastardly Kubo is making the Buckbeard out to be so far. Granted, it's nothing new for a bad guy to kill his underlings for failing him, but the two guys he fragged here pretty much did what they were supposed to. "Oh, you misspoke in front of me? I'm gonna blow off your arm." "Make yourself comfortable, but if you do, I'll blow your legs off." "What? Plans involve thinking ahead? Well, there goes your head." "Good job man! Boom, you get to die too."
