No one ever dies in One Piece*.

*Except if there's a two for one special.

Why does everyone always say that? The show's entire story line is centred around someone dieing.

No one ever dies outside of flashbacks.

In flashbacks, they drop like flies.

Zoro is using swords. I'm pretty sure mooks die.

That's true. Mooks die everywhere.

There was that one guy who ran the ordeal of spheres that Sanji murdered with an axe kick to the head. If he didn't, then that guy's brothers are lying liars.

They're not really dead, they're pretending. I mean, those guns aren't real, that would be sending a bad message to the children!

That just makes it more shocking when someone actually dies. See episodes 312 and 483 for reference and possibly tears.

Congrats, DT.

Wonder how long it'll be, before the players begin their eventual lean away from dealing lethal damage by default?

Why would they? Nami confirm-killed Usopp to make their plan work in Page 818.

It's different since they're playing D&D, and anyone important enough to have a name probably has enough money to buy a scroll of Raise Dead.

That makes you wonder how DT is gonna deal with Marineford
