He should.... because he was kinda calling them "kawaii underlings" during his dances in Udon...etc... and when Kaido and Big Mom were clashing, and and those underlings were just having funny conversations together.... so with his persona, it felt FITTING that he would be someone who has their backs.... and the TWIST would be that he's just like Ceasar with Brownbeard and the others... where he is merciless with them, BUT NOT in public, where he would be easily disposing of them but not with their knowledge....
So, for example if he used one of the headliners and asked him in secret to use the ice oni demon to spread the virus, if things succeeded, great, if things failed like now, he can cut down that underling and say something like "how dare you do that to my precious cute underlings" and of the sort... where by this, he shuts the underling mouth, and in return, gain their loyalty again....
This is the only thing Queen lost me on.... other than that, I love the dude, he's hilarious as fuck... his design in particular is the BEST design among calamities by far
