Oda is so good at making his baddies looking like imposing menaces, Luffy ends so small in comparison. Magellan is technically 16'1" to Luffy's 5'7", so approximately three times taller, but Oda's tweaked his proportions to look even bigger while framing him as a literal looming presence.

This is the second time Magellan's done this poison gas sigh thing, and while the first can be seen as a genuine accident, the second can't. This is something Oda does quite often--playing something originally as a joke only to use it in a serious situation later on. So not only do we have reckless use of Magellan's devil fruit when he doesn't let his jailers have time to get out of the way of his poison when he uses it on prisoners, he's using the threat of poison to ensure his orders are performed to his satisfaction. Sadie and Hannyabal are not prisoners. In the eyes of the law they've committed no crime, but the same system that allows abuses against the condemned hurts them as well. This is how it usually works in authoritarian systems.

This is a good way to make your nose start bleeding again. Also, tag yourself. I'm Bon Clay
