Honestly, the more I learn of the Gorosei, the less they look like a cabal of shadowy puppet masters and more like a cavalcade of muppets.
These are the same morons that finally got the super legendary, all important, Nika god fruit in their clutches after centuries of searching and then put Who's feckin Who in charge of protecting it.
Clearly, the magic immortality juice these suckers sook doesn't protect from mental degradation conditions.
