Speculations Did Oda actually forget about Kong?

[Shiroyru]

This man has not made even a single cameo post-TS, and he only briefly appeared for a few panels pre-TS. No one even references him or the position of Commander-in-Chief. Did Oda forget about this guy? Why is he so unimportant despite having more authority than Sakazuki? Why did he do nothing during the Reverie?

Cause Kong is the actual final villain

 

[Weeman]

His pointy hair reveals that he's just a projection of Imu.

 

[RYNO]

Maybe

 

[mmd]

no

 

[sanjikun]

There are 1086 chapters and Dragon still only has 6 and a half panels. So...yes.

 

[Seatonnes]

doubt it, probably will get more of him with rocks flashback

 

[Just a member]

Maybe Oda changed idea on how to develop the plot of the story after Marineford and simply erased him without notice. The problem is that now the WG/navy is already filled to the brim with relevant/strong figures now that we know the gorosei are also warriors and at the same time Oda added these holy knight that shouldn't be pushovers either.

 

[Reborn]

Even if oda shows him then I don't think he will be portrayed doing anything apart from sitting in his office like Dragon and Akainu


So, doesn't matter as of now

 

[SkySanji]

He'll play a role in the final war, yet another character that will be more relevant than mere AssmiraLs

 

[Monster Zoro's Tesla Supplier]

I mean.. Imu only has like 5 or 7 panels, despite being a very important character.
Kong may get his time to shine.
Remember, Sentomaru had like one chapter where he was relevant, then he faded into the back until Egghead.

 

[Kyou]

He retired

Let the man rest

 

[Paperchampion23]

God Knights are only just making their appearance, so Oda not focusing on Kong yet is fine lol. Plenty of WG members are still unknown, and some probably wont be seen for a while

 

[PeronaNerona]

He retired

Let the man rest

Retired ? He got promoted...

 

[MonsterKaido]

No. He will kill akainu and fight luffy.

 

[Dark-Abel]

Oda said in some interview that Kong died of old age during the timeskip

Laughing my fuckin ass off if true

 

[GUI VI]

Who?lol

 

[Urouge D. Rouge]

Araki Oda Forgor

A lot of people don’t know who Kong is, and I don’t think he’s meant to be anything special besides a story filler. He might do something near EoS, but I wouldn’t count on it.

I even had to search him up on the One Piece wiki to remember who he was. I remember those two Baroque Works animals more than him.
