I was very disappointed when I realized that they were talking about the da Gama dude. And not your Vasco.

You know the bee attack pheromone that tells other bees to target someone? Omegas can do that. It's jokingly referred to as Alpha B'Gone because it has an actively repellent effect on Alphas, but of course it's not like an Omega can't smear the scent on a Beta or even another Omega if need be. They won't be repelled by it, but it will signal to everyone who smells it on them that they have pushed an Omega to that extreme amount of stress and fear.

The smell is a big deal. It's basically an aggro spell. It paints a target on the person who's been marked and tells everyone else to Get His Ass. Most people can't consciously control it, but the people who can do not use it lightly.

Except of course for Omega Zoro, who will sometimes skunk spray Sanji when he's being especially annoying. Sanji, understandably, hates this. He has kicked the shit out of alphas for coming into the Baratie with this scent on them, and now here he is staring at himself in the mirror, trying to come to terms with what his life has become.

The crew is four days out from their next destination, which should be more than enough time for the scent to fade, so Zoro hits Sanji with the Fuck You Fuck Off spray a little after breakfast, only for the Strawhats to stumble across an island too small to have it's own magnetic field. Everybody else gets to go explore and make friends with the locals and have an adventure but Sanji needs to stay on the ship for his own safety.

TG stans must hate the ASOIAF timeline so much lmao. House Hightower's only actions have been through Ser Gerold, who was the lord commander of Aerys' Kingsguard. The head of the house, Lord Leyton has locked himself in a tower and is suspected of experimenting with magic, in direct conflict with the Faith and the Citadel.

After the Dance, the Hightowers are only ever seen either keeping to themselves or supporting the Targaryens. In the Blackfyre rebellion, they officially supported neither camp, that's the only somewhat exception.

I've seen some of them wave around Rhaena's marriage to Gormund Hightower as if that's some kind of victory, when really it just cements House Hightower's renewed allegiance to the Targaryens.

The Hightowers have very little significance after the Dance. Their power in terms of the realm is equal to houses like the Freys and the Boltons, but they do so much less than both of them. Their ties to the Fatih and the Citadel are their claims to power, and Leyton is possibly damaging those.
