Guys stop downplaying now Kuzan, Vegapunk(Oda) clearly tease that these characters have the potential to get the ONE PIECE, these are the major characters for the next arcs:
Why is Sabo there even thought Oda show Dragon as the leader of the revos?
Why is Kuzan there even thought his "captain" Teach is also in that panel?
Why none Gorosei is in that panel but FIGARLAND GARLING? Why is only Buggy there but no Mihawk or Crocodile?
Vegapunk speech clear tease that these characters play a huge role in ONE PIECE, they pose the potential to became the PIRATE KING, Oda even tease that Akainu could became the Pirate king...
Kuzan pose a huge power and potential, he fought for a reason against Akainu for 10 days.
And im sorry but at this point I can´t even defend Mihawk anymore, why is Oda refusing to hightlight him as the other characters?
At this point I just wait for feats but this portrayal so far is awful and I hope Oda step up his game.
