I just thought of this idea. It's probably not going to happen but I'll say it anyway. What if oda is allowing smoothie to become more assertive and proactive without someone's assistance by removing perospero(who seemed to have the most authority). I also think that the shadow Marco spotted could be the rest of the BMP, this gives smoothie a chance to showcase her abilities. Please tell me what y'all think of this🙏🙏🙏
