If it's from their devil fruit, wouldn't that make Lind scum lol? Since only Savage obtained a devil fruit. Roles that can control others are usually scum indicative imo. But yeah, I remember Lind explaining why he thinks Ekko was actually silenced.
Also, if we assume that the silence stuff is real, what are the chances that it is a double silence or something. I didn't see T-Pein post D1.
And his first post was saying "I can post now". This might be a reach, but I found it weird.
