What I don't understand is how are King and Queen free in the mines. Just before this panel we see the Kid and Heart Pirates along with some SHPs in Udon harbor. How is the alliance oblivious to the fact that 2 YCs of Kaido are getting healed and are free nearby. I mean wtf are the Scabbards doing, they were tormented by these two fuckers and they are all okay with letting them regroup nearby. I can understand Oda trying to create hype for the admiral but this is bullshit. Or King and Queen were being held prisoner in the mines and were not 100%. Doesn't change the fact that the admiral thinks it would be bad for his reputation if two commanders defeated him.
