No black sword? Mihawk > Rocks :milaugh:

Let Sanji surpass Jinbe first :luuh:

It would certainly encourage further intervention... Would have no direct impact on the US and Europe in the first step but increasing oil prices would. Then you have Japan which is already vulnerable, inflation sits at 3.5 - 4% whereas interest rate is at 0.5%...

Oil crisis incoming?
