Yeah that seems like the case, its just frustrating as I'd like Zoan awakenings to return and yet they haven't in a Beast/Zoan themed arc. Also more awakenings in general. King being a Lunarian has helped him so much and its cool, more lore/world building and such too but like Queen being a cyborg and having Germa powers, also feels like a convenient way to avoid giving them awakenings? Also the lack of haki usage this arc ironically?

Jack is meant to be a Fishman but that was almost pointless so far except ensuring his survival when he was sunk much earlier. He lasted 5 days v the Minks offscreen so he could have been the best candidate for awakening in the crew alternatively aside from Kaido ofc. Would have explained why Kaido was so forgiving and optimistic towards him too.
Oda shafted the Beast Pirates in their own arc so he could highlight and eventually offscreen many Wanonese nobody but himself cared about. :catsweat:
