Moria defended the homeland to the death like a true gigachad while Oden decided to twerk for 5 years.
Look at this beast, he’d be unstoppable when he gets his groove back.
It's kinda crazy how Moriah ended up losing his physique, his swordsmanship AND his Haki after being traumatized that much by Kaido.
Prime Moriah was definitely a monster but just like Crocodile, his pride and willpower got broken by an emperor. I guess that's why Crocodile was this weak in Alabasta. After he was beaten by Luffy, he started believing again and that's how he got stronger again. I'm sure Oda will use this reason to make both Moriah and Crocodile reach their peak again in the final saga. Well, Crocodile has already done so while Moriah has yet to grow stronger as well.

Also, I really like the interactions between Harald and Xebec - they are enemies but they can't help to be friends. Oda is really good at fleshing out Harald as a character being morally grey - same with Xebec.
I also have a vague idea why Teach turned out to be this mistrusting over his allies and keeps betraying and throwing them away like nothing. When the news happened that Burgess got wasted by Sabo, Teach didn't give a fuck. But now, I think BB does it because he still holds a grudge to those who betrayed his father.
While I believe Blackbeard betrayed Whitebeard for his own personal gains, he also did it out of revenge because he thought WB was one of those betraying his father. That would be a plottwist I can see now.
By the way, as much as I like Kuzan, Blackbeard DEFINITELY knows Kuzan might be a spy in the crew. He's not that stupid. He's an archaeologist after all, so Blackbeard is pretty smart. Maybe Blackbeard already schemes some stuff against Kuzan. Heck, I wouldn't exclude the possibility of Blackbeard betraying his whole crew to gain ultimate power - ultimately doing the Griffith move.
This is a stark contrast to Xebec being betrayed by his crew and Blackbeard would be the one betraying his crew instead. Oda loves parallels like that.
