kidd and killer are such interesting creechers to me... isn't kidd the only captain we know that refers to his first mate with a term that puts him on his same level? they both call each other partner that's such a specific dynamic they have. and then there's that sbs where oda was like they've been partners since they were kids and have always done everything together so of course when they liked the same girl they both went on a date with her at the same time, like. hell yeah but also does oda understand what kind of relationship he's given them

#haven't reread the battle in onigashima just yet so i dont remember for sure but i do think killer refers to kidd as captain too #but he does call him partner the most #and kidd exclusively refers to killer as my partner #out of all the captains kidd is the last one you'd expect to have a symbiotic relationship with his first mate #but oda really went and wrote them as one soul in two bodies #they move in tandem or don't move at all #ready to sacrifice life and freedom for each other at the drop of a hat #how interesting is that #killer was probably the one to make sure kidd didn't drawn too i wonder how he adapted to having lost the ability to swim over nothing #actually they're so fucking tragic when you think about it #anyway yeah oda really went and wrote them specifically like that that's so interesting to me #when kidd elevates killer to his same level so easily is it only killer's devotion to him that's stopping them from being co-captains?#I wonder how their crew's dynamic is shaped by the fact that the first mate holds this much power #that's so cool #too bad oda sank them here's to hoping they'll be back in full at some point
