I think Kaido usually calls flyers to go calm or fetch His Son
That's why Ulti ask if it is family(Kaido's)issues again

If it is true then Kaido Jr gotta be hella strong that it takes flyers as a whole to do calm him down

I dont think 6 flyers are needed to handle a calamity t once! 3 flyers are enough or near.
It makes F6 seem like glorified babysitters. Way to dehype a character.
 
What is your though about it?
I'm waiting until the Numbers are actually introduced. That'll be a big sign of what Oda intends for them.
-if they get individual introduction boxes like the Flying Six, Christ, Wano's going to last decades. That'll imply that at least some of the Numbers will have their own individual (small) plots, even if it's just as fights.
-if they get introduced collectively like the Oniwaninja's, they're probably not going to serve much more of a purpose than as background fighters against the Allaince, that exist to expand on Kaido's backstory more than anything

I think the second is most likely, but it can still go either way.

On thing that I am pretty certain of is that the Numbers are Kaido's allies (and family/tribe/race) and not actual members of the Beast Pirates. At some point in Wano we're going to get parallel volume covers, one of the Beast Pirates, one of the Strawhats. The Numbers won't be on the Beast Pirates one. That'll be Kaido, Calamities, Flying Six and his son.

I'm mixed on the Numbers too, but I tilt more on one. They fill the number cards for sure, but if the Tobi Roppo are the other executives, then Kaido's dynamic would be like this:

Face Cards: Kaido's top executives
Number Cards: Giant "Pet" Monsters (not executives)
Joker Card: Affiliate
 
I can't believe a majority vote this a "great" chapter. At best this was average, "showing" basic characters (who speak a few unclear lines) should not be worth a whole chapter, let alone a great one. And showing one character was left out anyway, because Oda thinks showing two characters (with one being a group that is only partly new) is too big... And I bet this "trick" of teasing two but only showing one is supposed to be a great piece of storytelling in itself. This was basically a half-chapter, with the other half from two weeks ago...
