Speculations Did Oda actually forget about Kong?

[TheAncientCenturion]

He’s unimportant to the story.

 

[Dark-Abel]

He’s unimportant to the story.

Luffy naming one of his strongest attacks after him, should say otherwise

 

[Herrera95]

Oda just thought it would be cool to have a character like him, and he was right, but he has no plans for him as he has no plans for Urouge for example.

 

[Monkey D Theories]

He’s important, it’s just that we’re not going to see him until Mariejois.

 

[milluki]

He will get panel time when his son Jozu plays a role again.

[Warchief Sanji D Goat]

Be patient lol.

Endgame characters are usually important.

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

Ain't no way this is real Lmao.

 

[HAJI]

Add a poll!
No

 

[mmd]

Add a poll!
No

It's better to make a thread like this about smoothie and make a poll

 

[MonsterKaido]

[Sparda]

Yes

 

[BlackLegFring]

He’ll be on vacation when the final war goes down. Oda will let us know in an SBS.

To add more,

You need to purchase SBS DLC in order to unlock Kong's vacation status.

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?

Maybe he died from some disease during the timeskip. Oda would be such a troll if he do that

 

[Mathias]

Kong spends his time pumping iron and dealing with resignation letters.

 

[Johnny B. Decent]

As CinC, he is logically the guy who could command all of the Marines, Cipher Pol, Warlords (before they were dismissed), the SSG, the armies of individual nations, auxiliary forces like Impel Down and Enies' Lobby staff and the like. But Garling, as head of Mariejois' forces, would outrank him, so now he is kind of redundant.

[R A I T E I I I]

I remember a theory hes got a huge ozaru mithycal zoan insanely overpowered. Idk what he will do. Itd been cool some panels...

 

[kurwa]

What do you bozos exactly expect from Kong?

He's was Garp's and Sengoku's Fleet Admiral, that means he's way older than they are and that means he's much weaker than current Sengoku and Garp

What someone weaker and older than Sengoku and Garp should do in the story?

Maybe Kong is gong already?
