Plenty of time? I don't think he know the strawhats are here plus he dont know bout the samurai and minks and law
He knew about Kidd and Hawkins as his partners in alliance!
He knew Killer was forced to be fed smile
He was with Kaido before Kidd alliance happened even
He set them up them up with Kaido
Now... if he was like Hawkins... who joined AFTER Kaido beat them up... sure! he can join...
But him? screwing HIS FRIENDS AND ALLIES???
Fuck that... he doesn't deserve the whole "I turned side by last second and I got a win" and magically become on the winning team.. That's kind of bullshit
And look, by the way... I hate Kidd.. and I hate Law.. everybody here knows that I like Apoo more than those two characters... but I just don't want Apoo to become ally in this war... so it's not like I'm saying this because I hate him
It's just more interesting if he had his OWN path to follow... just because he will LOSE in this war...it doesn't mean that he will be killed and be done from the story... he can make a comeback in final war and choose a different path..
Like, if he was planning things secretly.. we would have at least found out from Hawkins after he lost to Law.. like Hawkins saying that Apoo and him are secretly working into freeing his partner Kidd/Killer and so on... But he never did ANY...
Like he's coming there to enjoy party.. DJ and Queen singing... living the life... and you're telling me he had something planned for Kaido?
BULLSHIT... If Oda does it.. I really will hate it... unlike someone like Drake for example... he made moves and freed Law from prison... you can see the difference here... between the two... someone is long-term as you said... but making moves to help alliance
Even informing Koby about Luffy still being imprisoned and no news of him getting out... etc.. so he's making something...
NOT FUCKING DANCING in party for Kaido LOL
Let's be real... Apoo joining alliance will be just Oda sucking up for "supernova" without him deserving the Win.. he just doesn't..
