It's okay, when the admiral agenda inevitably ends up failing we can spend our time watching 1970s Yakuza movies instead, it'll sort of be like an advanced stage of weebdome anyway.
But seriously, I get you're only on board with the FA agenda, but Kuzan is pretty much equally as important to the story as Sakazuki. Idc much about the OP contender spread, but it's not a coincidence that Kuzan is in that, and in the og PH one. He's closer to Sakazuki in importance than he is to the likes of Aramaki.
