You forgot the “if you go to that island you will die disease” that buggy got before Roger left for Laugh Tale

Unfortunately, even if that would be one of the best jokes in the series and genuinely genius for Ussop's lie to be true.... That was a fan translation thing, it wasn't in the original japanese or the official English translation, the fans who did the first version available on the internet added it for the lols.

Yup, was about to say this

[@AssignedCryptid]

Yeah the sickness didn't just affect people, it could affect plants and animals too. After the Shandians were cured Noland and his crew searched the whole island for anything else which was afflicted, and got rid of it to make sure there wasn't any way for the Shandians to be infected again after they left.

[@damonpono8337]

I thought it was interesting how the doctor noted that bonney didn’t have white lead, meaning she still diagnosed Bonney without fearing she would contract white lead, possibly due to corazon and law visiting so many doctors it became recognised that it isn’t a contagious disease

[@SOLDAT_MENDES]

lol, It's definitely possible that Corazon and Law visiting so many doctors helped to raise awareness of the fact that white lead is not contagious. This would have been especially important in the early days of their journey, when they were still trying to figure out what was wrong with Law. It's also possible that the doctor in question was simply more knowledgeable about white lead than the other doctors that Corazon and Law had visited. This is especially likely given that he was able to diagnose Bonney's condition without even needing to examine her blood. Whatever the reason, it's clear that the doctor's willingness to treat Bonney without fear of contracting white lead is a sign of progress. It shows that people are starting to understand that white lead is not a contagious disease, and that those who are affected by it deserve to be treated with compassion and respect. I'm glad that you brought this up. It's an important detail that I hadn't thought about before. It gives me hope that the world of One Piece is slowly becoming a better place for those who are different.

Something interesting and very terrifying about scurvy is exactly what the opening of old wounds really means. Scar tissue is not a stable thing , its a constant process , during scurvy the process stops and the scar tissue starts to dissolve , ANY scar tissue , had a bad cut years ago ? Well it opens up again , had surgery on internal organs ? That opens up too , had your fingers/limbs sewn back on ? That opens aswell ! In specific cases scurvy can literally make you FALL APART

[@Don_LUSH]

My take with amber lead is that the WG wanted to still use it even after knowing it was poisonous in a similar fashion to the possible inspiration for amber lead aka radium poisoning and for those who want to know just look for the case of the "Radium girls"

[@hal9713]

i think if we're looking to extant irl cases of mass poisoning with explicit sanctioning by authority, amber lead has more in common with the japanese chisso and niigata minamata diseases (methylmercury poisoning). what with the source of the toxic material being the economic windfall of the whole region/city, rather than a singular population, and with the characterisation of it *by* authority figures as a contagious disease in a concerted attempt to gaslight the afflicted. not to mention the symptoms!

[@ar14237]

You could Technically say usop's mom was the First disease we saw it it just wasn't named

Reminds me of the Rumbar Pirates. They had something, my guess was it was the same as Nami's. Unlikely but it has one thing going for it, that when Dorry and Brogy were talking about how there was a crew in the past who had picked a direction and left. I'm not even sure if it lines up time wise, but it would be cool if it did

[@diegonoriega17]

Fun fact, Kestia is based on the real world disease named Rickettsia wich is also transmitterd by ticks.

[@ghostnappa2311]

Law curing himself was shown in the anime I distinctly remember him coming out of the chest after a while, crying and then sitting there and starting to use the Ope Ope No MI to remove the amber lead from himself, it was only his arm that we saw him work on as the camera panned out and away but I remember that very clearly

[@carlosnunes929]

What episode? Because I’m pretty sure we don’t see it in the anime and like Tekking said, it’s only shown in detail in his light novel

[@snapslav]

Liked this video overall, but you got a number of things incorrect about Amber Lead Syndrome. For starters, it's not a "delayed poison", it's a toxicity that takes decades to build up. The original miner would come into contact with Amber Lead for decades, until eventually building up enough toxicity that it would be fatal. Since it was made into so many products, INCLUDING FOOD, the residents were ingesting Amber Lead after the mining began on a daily basis, but it would take many, many years for the ailment symptoms to surface. What's SPECIAL about Amber Lead (and unlike Asbestos, which it's partially based off of), is that the toxicity can be passed on from parent to child. Presumably, this is from the overall Amber Lead toxicity level of the blood, which gets passed on from mother to baby in-utero? However it works in the OP world, if you needed 70 years to accumulate enough Amber Lead in your system to expire from you, and you had a baby at 20, that baby would only need 50 years to accumulate enough to perish from Amber Lead toxicity. THAT'S the cause of the leapfrogging generational life expectancy. This is why everybody simultaneously started developing Amber Lead Syndrome and dying off at the same time; because they all had roughly equal build up of Amber Lead in their bodies. Which leads into the mistake about the WG "coverup". It's not that the WG thought it would be a good idea to lie that Amber Lead Syndrome was contagious. They didn't. It was POPULAR MISCONCEPTION that it was contagious, because everybody in Flevance all "caught" the condition at the same time. The generational toxicity build up nature of the condition wasn't understood by most laypersons, so they went with what they did understand that could explain a sudden outbreak of a deadly disease: contagion. The WG covered up the _toxicity_ of Amber Lead, as part of a deal with the royal family of Flevance. The royals wanted unhindered export of their natural resource, they prospered from it, and with that prosperity they could "pay off" the WG with their Heavenly Tributes, so both parties had incentive to keep its true nature hush hush. Once the outbreak began, the royal family (who probably avoided unnecessary exposure due to being in the know, and thus weren't in danger of developing the condition) were able to flee the kingdom, and the WG had no incentive to correct the misinformation, because the citizens of Flevance weren't going to survive much longer anyhow. So, in short, they DID NOT create the lie that it's contagious, popular misconception took care of that all by itself!

[@malikjackson9828]

The proper name of the Bends is Decompression Sickness (pretty straightforward, I know). It's also the name of a song by Mr Bungle and an album by Radiohead.

[@muhammadfaisal5Y5]

Bonnie's disease reminded me of Xeroderma Pigmentosum which is a genetic disease characterised by sensitivity to the sun and UV light. People associate this to having vampire qualities which is rude.

[@dowfreak7]

Always with the need to be offended, ugh. It's an easy way to connect what you know and don't know, especially for children. And as long as it doesn't go from "oh that's like a vampire" to "haha, you're a vampire, die you monster", it's also not offensive at all. And least of all is it your job to be the deciding factor of it being rude. I'm sure some people living with that disease actually occasionally make a vampire joke with their friends because that's just human. You cope with shit and sometimes you make fun of dire situations. Don't take that away from people, just because you wanna stand on some moral pedestal you built for yourself.

[@madskristiansen]

I'm not a doctor, but I am a licensed industrial grade diver, and the more I think about it, the less sense it makes that Cricket had Diver's Disease. Cricket was not using breathing apparatus or extra air as we could see. He was free diving like a pearl diver. He would start with a fixed amount of air from the surface, and that air would compress in his lungs when going down to the depths with higher pressures. If you used scuba gear, your lungs would always fill up with the air compressed to the depth you are in, and going up too fast with that much air is what risks Diver's Disease. But if Cricket went up free diving, the air in his lungs would just expand back to the original volume at the surface. No harm from that. So unless he had a separate air tank he could breathe air from at the bottom while diving (DO NOT DO THIS! PEOPLE HAVE DIED DOING THAT!), it doesn't make sense.

[@maddson2088]

Why would u die from having a separate air tank at the bottom to mimic free driving?

[@madskristiansen]

@@maddson2088 Like this: You leave the air tank at the bottom where you dive. You start from the surface and go into the water without any scuba gear, you just hold your breath. In that held breath, you dive down to the air tank at the bottom, and when you are feeling like running out of air, you take a breath from the air tank. It would not be bad IF you keep diving and breathing with the air tank continuously until the end of your dive and you reach the surface. But if you take a breath from the tank at the bottom, hold it in and swim away from the tank, then you have lungs filled with compressed air at that depth. If you start going up WITHOUT breathing out simultaneously, the air will expand and pop your lungs like a balloon! This is more immediately dangerous and painful than Diver's Disease, because your lungs just popped, you have internal bleeding and gasses are blocking your blood flow. Not to mention the agonizing pain. The risk of drowning in that situation is immense! This is why a scuba diver NEVER holds their breath when diving. And people have tried free diving with a separate air tank at the bottom... They died. That's how.

@@madskristiansen Jesus.... I'm in pain just reading this comment.

[@madskristiansen]

@@nekoplanetary4244 It is best to be completely frank about the dangers of mismanagement in diving. Just like driving, the margin of error in such conditions is small and often fatal. Diving is both a relaxing and intensive activity. You NEED to be relaxed in mind and body to not waste energy and air when diving, but the constant movements in heavy gear under water can be intense and IS dangerous. You need to prepare properly, follow the practiced methods and know what you are doing. If not, you will get hurt or die. I love this sport ;)

[@kershmaru237]

After my initial comment on the Bends, I decided to write up something about some of the diseases, their historical inspiration, and some of the cultural effects stuff like that had in the real world. I am in the medical field and my final research project revolved around a specific fungus, a yeast that can become pathogenic to humans. I write this so you can better appreciate Oda's research and his real-world inspirations. This is going to be a long comment, so if needed, I'll break it up into multiple segments and post the remainder in the comments under this first one. Scurvy: Both Tekking's explanation and how it is presented in one piece are correct, scurvy is the result of acute vitamin C deficiency. Interestingly, there are indications that some indigene populations worked out that eating certain things would help with the symptoms before European sailors and scholars did; for example, a crew of French sailors affected by scurvy went ashore on a Caribbean island and wrote down that the local population urged them to eat rhubarb, after which the crew recovered. Five-day disease: This one is inspired by several real-world diseases, each contracted via the bite of an arthropod (ticks are not insects but rather arachnids). The most direct comparison in terms of having a very distinct rash is lime disease, which can show very distinct concentric bruises at the site of the bite. It is quite prevalent in Europe and north America, and is transmitted by the bite of a tick. It is rarely fatal, but It can result in latent nerve damage, as well as affect the joints and heart. There are other diseases contracted via arthropods, i.e. specific kind(s) of brain inflammation (via ticks), the sleeping disease (via a specific fly endemic to certain regions in sub-Saharan Africa, the tsetse fly), potentially both Ebola and the Marburg virus. We don't know for sure. It is presumed that both of these have a reservoir host, meaning an organism that holds them when it isn't spreading person to person, that is an arthropod. Both of these virus are fantastically deadly and infectious, and can easily result in some of the symptoms Nami had- extreme, rapid onset of fever, with the potential of death days or mere hours after onset of symptoms. However those two also result in bleeding, and contact with this infected blood is how they are so infectious. Last but not least, Malaria, which resulted in mosquitos killing more humans than any other animal- including humans. Decompression sickness/The Bends/Diver's disease: see my other comment. It is the result of Nitrogen bubbles forming after rapidly ascending to lower pressure. In my other comment I also explained about Nitrogen narcosis, potential embolism, and techniques we developed to avoid diseases associated with diving. Tree fever: As far as I know, there are no non-opportunistic human-pathogenic diseases that cross over from plants. What I mean by that, is that while there are certain fungi and bacteria that can affect both living humans and plants, they are only able to under specific circumstances. Certain molds that usually break down dead biomass can, and in my work, I reviewed a case of a patient who had a blood stream infection by saccharomyces cervisae - brewer's yeast, the fungus used to brew beer. That is highly unusual, but it can happen. In general, could a disease like tree fever exist? yes, potentially. I doubt it could be a virus; those are too particular in regards to their host. There are plenty that are zoonotic, meaning they can infect both animals and human hosts, but I doubt that would bridge the gap between animals and plants. Fungi though? Potentially. There are already incredibly infectious (and lethal) fungal infections in nature. You might know about Cordyceps, the real-world ant-killing and mind-controlling fungus that inspired the fungal infection in the last of us. This specific fungus likely won't become a danger to humans, our physiology is too different from insects. But there is also white-nose disease, a deadly fungal infection that kills entire colonies of hibernating bats. It isn't completely clear if that disease is solely responsible for the mass death of bats in the northern hemisphere, or if there are other factors, but the bat population absolutely plummeted since that disease first showed up. It is unlikely that it could affect humans in the same way- we don't hibernate, and we are physically unable to reach population densities comparable to a colony of bats. But yes. A fungal pathogen like tree fever, affecting both humans and plants, could potentially exist. The blotches being green and irregularly shaped could indicate that it is a parasitoid lichen. Lichen are fungus that live in a symbiotic relationship with photosynthetic algae. Saphire scale: This one is fascinating, and I was surprised given that I actually haven't read the current chapter yet. There are diseases caused, or aggravated by sunlight. The most well known is perhaps porphyria, sometimes called vampire's disease. It's a congenital disease that results in your body being unable to break down Haem, the constituent compound of Haemoglobine and Myoglobine, the oxygen-binding structures of red blood cells and muscles. In contact with sunlight, this results in the leftover Haem becoming phototoxic - it changes its structure and physiological interaction with the body as a result of exposure to sunlight. There are other phototoxic chemicals, certain industrial pollutants, and also certain medications, which result in symptoms when exposed to the sun. Amber lead syndrome: This is a stand-in for a plethora of real-world industrial pollutants. Chronic lead poisoning, for example, results in a type of anemia, a lack of red blood cells. It can result in paleness and increased time for recapilarrisation- if you press a finger into the skin of an anemic person, the spot will be pale longer than with a healthy person. It was also first misunderstood. Lead cutlery and kitchenware were common. Of all things, the import of tomatoes to Europe, and the resulting more acidic dishes that dissolved some of the lead from the cutlery and then poisoned the person eating was what first showed us that long-term lead exposure is harmful. There are also many pollutants that can result in rashes or spots in the area of exposition, including, but not limited to caustic agents, certain metals, certain organic compounds, radioactive materials. Mercury poisoning and the resulting neurological effects were so prevalent in hat makers in England that they inspired Lewis Carrol's mad hatter in Alice in Wonderland. And last but not least, the treatment of the affected population is not without historic precedent. Our modern word quarantine is derived from the quaranta giorni - forty days. That is the period of time ships suspected of carrying the plague were isolated in Italian ports. More to the point, there are some indications, if not hard proof as far as I know, that in Naples, infected were the victims of deliberate arson. Lastly, unknown diseases: We still potentially have those today. in the 15th and 16th century, a disease called sweating sickness, the Sweats or English sweats broke out in England, in a series of isolated, but incredibly deadly epidemics. And to this day, we don't know what caused the Sweats, and whether whatever it was is now extinct. Not going to comment on diseases caused by devil fruits or specific bioweapons. But if any of you have questions, please feel free to ask.

[@kershmaru237]

Something I forgot to add concerning Amber lead: plenty of real-world industrial pollutants accumulate in the body over time, with symptoms only after a long exposure. There is also a process called biomagnification, where organisms initially absorb a small amount of a toxin from their environment, pass that on to organisms that feed on them and so forth, resulting in a higher and higher exposure to the organisms at the top of that particular food web. A good example would be organic mercury compounds, and how they affect sharks, other greater predatory fish like tuna, and via them, humans. Mercury exposure from seafood will increasingly become a problem in the affected population. Another example of long delayed effects would be asbestos, which is a synthetic mineral fiber that mimics certain minerals, and was widely used in insulation and flame retardant materials. Until we realized that microscopic asbestos dust could not be broken down by the body, resulting in constant inflammation, and in turn, cancers of the affected tissues.

[@dowfreak7]

"uses up lifespan" is just shortform for "bullshit anime power go". It's clearly not meant to actually be a part of the story, it's just used to make something seem more dangerous and to explain away the deus ex machina powerup. But I do think Oda will at least hint someway that Luffy won't live for long after the One Piece is found. If there's actual "old man Luffy tells his children a tale of his pirating days" moments, that'd completely sour the ending. Dude needs to either find the One Piece, have a celebration and then cut back to 10 years later where he's dead or he needs to die unexpectedly very soon after the treasure. REALLY doubt the latter will happen, though.

[@in-craig-ible6160]

Law Tekking is back! I don't think we've seen him since Law Week. 🤣 On another note, the disease aspect of One Piece is another wonderful, if horrifying, example of Oda's worldbuilding. Foreign diseases were a factor explorers had to deal with in the real world, so the way he has consistently incorporated this into the story with Nami, Roger, Law, Bonney, and many other characters helps reinforce the idea that this is a living, breathing planet, with real world issues to deal with beyond who's the strongest pirate.

[@AnyMEmdq]

25:50 Not necessarily. Law could easily perform the same surgery on someone else. Yes, the fruit is needed, but you don't need to consume it to be rid of the sickness yourself

[@Tekking101]

Yeah, could have phrased that better. What I'm saying is that no cure for Amber Lead exists in terms of medicine. The only way to cure it is with surgery, but the surgery is impossible UNLESS you have magic devil fruit powers. So the Ope-Ope fruit is the only means to cure it.

The cause of scurvy is widely misrepresented. You never hear about how a diet high in carbohydrates increases the requirement of vitamin c, or that a lot of fresh food has ascorbic properties, even meat, especially organ meat. Sailors with scurvy had only access to old/rotten food, and stuff that lasted really long, which was usually hardtack biscuits, basically only carbohydrates with no nutrition.

[@MagicCardboardBox]

Its good to see you again Lawtekking! Its been a while

Interesting vid tekking keep it up🫶

[@kershmaru237]

Your explanation of the Bends was fair enough, and I actually never heard the alternative name for it, or that it was named after an archaic structure for underwater engineering. It is a bit more common to call it decompression sickness. To add some more detail, increased pressure enables your tissues and blood to absorb more nitrogen (which makes up around 80% of our atmosphere) than they usually could, and if you reduce the pressure too quickly, that nitrogen coalesces into bubbles. The worst effects of this are not from the bubbles themselves, but from their potential to cause embolisms- blockages of blood vessels. Embolisms in general can cause things like cardiac or cerebral infarction - heart attacks or strokes. I am not sure how common that is due to the nitrogen bubbles in the Bends though. But the disease is one of the reasons we came up with both alternative gas mixes for divers (containing reduced or no nitrogen) and saturation diving, where the diver or dive team is lowered inside a capsule that itself is pressurized to the ambient pressure of the work site, then decompressed over a period of several days. Nitrogen has another potentially lethal effect on divers: under certain conditions it can become narcotic, leading to diminished situational awareness, euphoria, and full-on hallucinations. Nitrogen narcosis is believed to be a contributing factor to the deaths of many amateur divers and a common staple in near-death experiences of divers.

Honestly best part on oda making imaginary diseases is how it gives extra flair to the world of one piece and can also not be aged badly if he ever used a disease that can be cured a week after he drops the chapter I hate when stories hust make a week ago reference that ages it poorly.

[@BosheitV]

When is the last time we ever cured a irl disease?

[@ivanbluecool]

@@BosheitV not as long as you think. I saw a whole documentary about it a few years ago but forget what it was You could probably search it up and see

[@fadhil2831]

Oda also dont want it to hit to close to home for his reader,tree feaver pretty much allegory for old world diseases(smallpox,cowpox,livestock virus and black plauge) reaching isolated community like new world and australia

[@SwaggerIsAVirtue]

I was just thinkin earlier that itd be a little since we got a Tekking video about a random topic. Of course i enjoy the content about current OP evens.. but i enjoy Tekking mostly for his random enthusiastic rants

[@Imubozuu]

As a medical student here in the US that has been watching you since I was still just starting university, I feel oddly connected to this video. Great video tekking! Miss briar tho

[@zombiedragon1228]

[@borgshadow13]

geneticist here: diseases crossing the kingdoms of life are very rare, underresearched and kinda hot right now because until recently we thought it was a minor, minute thing that rarely happens because plants and animals are very different genetically (and viruses that infect them are usually highly specialised). turns out there are some bacteria and fungi that can and do cause infections in both, viruses however ... basically nah as far as we know, except one case of tobacco mosaic virus and insect providence virus infecting hela cells

I always interpreted that since the g going Merry and the Thousand Sunny and tangerine trees that scurvy was not a problem since they had ample supply of vitamin C

[@tembakaugunung6139]

Way back then, around 2009ish, My close friend once skipping a school for a couple of days. The next day he anttended school again, his teacher ask him why he didnt went to school, and he with serious face said : i got a tree fever. The funny thing is, nobody questioning his answer. While he was dying inside from keeping himself to not bursting out laughing. 😂 In my country, it was translated as Woods Fever. Demam Hutan. Man, good old days before the net took over human brain was such a joyful place to life. 😂

[@purcellworthman3199]

Not a doctor but I've heard it called "the bends" before.

[@lrkcm373]

Mentioning Brook’s fruit made me realize something. The Revive-Revive fruit used the power of the underworld to return the soul back to the living realm, and attach the soul back to its original shell. So that got me thinking, “what would happen if Brook found his body sooner?” Instead of a skeleton, he could’ve been an undead zombie. But what would’ve happen if he returned like the next day, the poison that killed him the first time would still be in his body, so wouldn’t he just die again. Like if Ace had the fruit, would he just pop back up off the ground just to die a few seconds later cause there’s a giant hole in his torso. Cause the fruit doesn’t heal the body at all, otherwise Brook would’ve regained his flesh. Either Ace just dies again a few moments later, or it just doesn’t afflict him at all and he has to go one living the rest of his new life with a burnt magma hole in his chest. Cause Brook can still eat, drink, breathe, and poop without having the organs to do so, meaning it might be possible.

[@Fabiocean2000]

Considering Brook is still fine despite being a literal skeleton, a hole in the chest probably wouldn't be that much of a problem.

[@mjm6792]

Everybody's dancing around it but I'd honestly expect Tekking to be able to say this kind of thing confidently. I don't know if you guys are waiting for confirmation or what but the nature of saint Saturn's devil fruit is pretty obvious if you know yokai. A six legged oni with bull horns that kills with a gaze, it's a Gyuki, or ushi-oni, you know like the thing the eight-tailed beast in naruto is named after.

[@tigers8501jda]

I wonder what Yorki & the Rumbar Pirates disease they had to lose like half the crew, but that aside here are some non-canon diseases like: - Kureha had Mondolin which is a contagious febrile disease with its symptoms being fever, weakness, sweating, & flushing of the face - Olga had the South Blue Emperor Fever a lethal disease that exist 200 years ago which causes those infected with it to be bedridden, & while in the past it wasn’t curable now it is

I remember I first got into One Piece when I was around 12 my dad would bring me the shonen jump magazines when I was stuck in the Hospital bored and just miserable, Luffy & the SH optimism and drive really helped me through some tough times Laws backstory hit me quite hard, when your a child dealing with the medical system sadly although over the top there are really some asshole doctors, Law hiding in the bodies reminds me of stories my grandmother told me about her family in the Holocaust having to hide in the pile of corpses, despite my hardships I’m still very lucky One piece has been so uplifting when I’m down and I can always come back to it when I need to love your content and enthusiasm, like law I’ve had to learn a lot because doctors can suck I can tell your very smart

[@CardinalSinOfCake]

I worked for several years as a lead behavioral health technician at a drug and alcohol rehabilitation center. While working there me and my best friend/co-worker decided it would be absolutely hysterical to convince the rest of the staff and all the clients that scurvy was running rampant on the East Coast (USA). Mind you, all the clients were not allowed to have their phones until outpatient so there was absolutely no way for them to check¹. Me and my buddy were successful for about a week before the staff started calling BS on us. They were telling family members about it and being told we were lying. Good times and so worth it 😂 1. This rule was changed several years later to allow them their phones at the housing portion of the rehab just not while in group. Not like that matters here, but people will find a reason to start a fight over ANYTHING nowadays.

[@robertnelson9599]

I will start a fight just for you assuming I would start a fight.

That's incredibly fucked up. You may have had a laugh but you were working with some really delicate patients and you caused them some unwarranted stress for your own entertainment?!

I'm not a doctor, but the game Ever17 gives you a crash course on the bends to use as a plot point. An extra detail is that those air bags are bubbles often rest inside of joints causing pretty intense joint pain.

[@davidcantrell2568]

Funny thing is most free divers don’t get the bends. There are some cases and he might actually have this version. Some free divers that dive for long periods of time throughout the day in the water without regular breaks on the surface can get it. So Cricket could have had the bends.

[@rifaicahyo8164]

Cricket definitely dives for long periods of time throughout the day in the water without regular breaks on the surface, so yeah

I was almost traumatized by the existence of the bends as a child; it was in the old, 80s GI Joe. The characters came up in a diving bell type apparatus too fast, and they all, heroes and villains, just...collapsed, crying out in pain. The explanation was vague at best, in show, but I will always remember seeing them drop, moaning and clutching at their bodies.

[@andreasencio3184]

Now I have plant questions. Time for tekking to start his new 2.5 year long series. A-Z plant facts.

[@tBOGGgle]

One of the things that I like about One Piece is that these diseases really are no joke. In most series the characters just find a cure and that's it but in OP that's not always the case. Only reason Law was able to survive and maybe Bonney too is because of DF abilities

If doc Q's fruit works fast enough I could see the feminizing disease being used to throw someone off balance in combat. Imagine Zoro swinging a sword and suddenly his physique turns into that of Nami. He would definitely be off balance from that.
