Right?! I dont think this just a gag moment at all! I mean look at how Hells Memories calls back to his full body Human Torch-like firey outburst at Thriller Bark ofc!
I and others have joked that Sanji is one of the 4 gods mentioned in OP and isnt it weird he resembles Nikas apparent flames or whatever?
Isn't it funny that the wings of the Pirate King are the guy who said he would be the king of hell and another guy who might be the literal devil!?
Maybe Zoro represents the Buddhist equivalent of Hell ofc and Sanji the Christian?
Its funny you say that man (or Soldier Boy even ofc lmao, I just noticed a sort of parallel with Soldier Boy and Sanji, including certain spoilers about Season 3 too lol, bad fathers, military glorification, soldier martyrism and such), I really wanted Boa for the crew back during Amazon Lily and after it!
I so wanted another strong female character for the crew and having a former Warlord on the crew (ironically and poetically we got the goat Jinbei instead ofc!) and I thought Boa would be PERFECT for the crew! I LOVE her fighting style with the kicks and I wanted her to train Sanji to get stronger and help him get over his issues with his emotions and especially towards women ofc!
Plus if Oda intends for her to marry Luffy at EOS (sweats in angering LuNa or any other Luffy x anbody else shippers), what better than to have his future wife in his crew with him too?! Boa with her haki mastery could have helped Robin and Nami to learn and master haki too and it would have been beautiful!
Oda did apparently say a former enemy will join the SHs AGES ago, around 13 years ago apparently and Boa would actually count if she joined! (I also wanted Perona funnily enough!)
I was really hoping for Yamato to join for reasons above (another and ideally especially super strong female in SHs) AND Yamato has a mythical zoan that is also famous like Catarina Devons and Devon would try to kill Yamato for her beauty and since Yamato is so strong, tomboyish and held her own against her own father Kaido, a freaking Yonko too ofc, then Devon with her legendary 9 tails mythical zoan should provide a good fight for her potentially?
Right now as it stands, I think Devon is gonna target Nami for her beauty BUT if Boa joins the crew as you suggested, being the most beautiful woman in the world, she would be Devons PRIME target regardless and Boa would give her HELL in return! Given whats just happening this chapter too, it would be extremely fitting then as you said about her island being targeted and potentialy destroyed especially with Blackbeard being there too ofc!
I did suspect Robin is gonna fight Devon now instead of Yamato unfortunately since the latter didnt join but I hope Robin will fight San Juan Wolf due to his size or maybe the 10th captain or something, idk.
