I dont know about that.........i was under the impression he seperated himself manually where the cuts were about to be made. If kicking him in the nuts would auto seperate then wouldnt the part where nami wrapped a belt around his parts cause those to seperate as well?

Crocodile's surprise wasn't much different than gaara's surprise when lee broke through his sand shield.

For all we know, that cage might jack up luffy just the same as with smoker. Maybe his rubber body acts more like a brittle rubber band when exposed to the ocean, and therefore bullets could kill him if he's in the cage. We haven't seen enough of its effects to know for sure

these topics are too open-ended to really be argued anyway [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]
