About the nosebleed thing, that's why Usopp is there as POV of the readers, guys.
He's the only one noticing the rediculousness of the situation, and as a result, make a humor out of it.
"dude, this is a dumb way to die" "look at the idiot's face. He's still smiling" "never thought (something as silly as) nosebleeding could lead to serious condition" etc, etc.
He's what's called a "tsukkomi" role in Japanese comedy. A voice of reason in comedian stand ups.
If you don't get it, then you haven't really read the script. Oda is FULLY aware of how silly this plot line is, and you're missing the point.
