Exactly!! The lack of focus on him is helping him... look at Kizaru, before Egghead everyone had Kizaru like that unstopable force back in Sabaody and MF, now, "he's Goofy victim" "has no will" "just a cog in a machine that killed his friend" "Nika fan" "Pizzaru" etc... (Not my case, I still love him regardless).
But the moment we focus on Akainu again, Oda is going to ruin him just wait
