Commentary
How to write like me:
1 - Write whatever comes naturally.
2 - Nitpick the heck out of it.
3 - Victory dance.
Okay, the part where "good" Grace is no longer willing to fight was all part of the plan and I had planned for it to come up at some point, but panels one through three were pretty much my brain on autopilot.

Between chat bubbles covering her abdomen and the different pose of the arms, I first thought Grace is looking intentionally less buff after the first panel?

But in his case what he really means is that when he points a gun at someone's head, he DOES follow through with it (which he proceeds to immediately demonstrate on a nearby bandit that didn't take this lesson to heart ! In retrospect, that may have been a clue that One Piece world is not all sun and rainbows, as the initial Luffy cheeriness and general Shounen style may lead you to believe).

2020-12-05 17:54:08 +0000 UTCRealistic arms safety in a webcomic? Have the aliens landed already?

2020-12-05 15:14:36 +0000 UTCThat's roughly half of the safety rules. Though there's some redundancy between them. (Paraphrased: Always treat a gun as loaded. Never point a gun at something you don't want to put a hole in. Always be aware of where the muzzle is pointed. Always be aware of what's beyond your target.)

2020-12-05 13:31:24 +0000 UTCTo be honest. A minor character in One Piece, Yassop, a master sniper, does more or less state that you should never point a gun at something you don’t intend to shoot. Meaning that a gun should not be used as an intimidation tool.
