I wonder if Oda has not planned something bigger at the very end of this arc:
- you remember the red flag in the chapter where Jinbe appeared, (we'll have a drink when we defeat Kaido)
- Luffy told Momo not to cry - there will be time for that after the fight,
- Cp0 mentioned several times that it does not matter who comes out victorious from this battle,
- Chopper did it, but now he's a baby,
- half of the Red Scabards are finished,
- Carrot was mauled by Perospero,
- Franky won, but his armor was destroyed,
- Nico Robin won but is now weakened
- Zoro has already been extremely hurt, and we must not forget that the side effect of the drug will cause him to suffer later, a lot,
Does that seem suspicious only to me ???
