LOL. i even read a list why sanji should have the fire fruit and half of them will be used for gags. gags are cool…but i doubt something important like ace's fruit will be used on a character (who accompanies the protagonist) for gags half of the time.
ace's fruit is deserving to go to someone who would likely be in the tailend of the series and in the final major battles involving luffy (since he is the main protagonist) and at the same time fulfill the criterias in terms of importance and strength.
++++im getting too caught up in the mera debate, ill just give a quick observation on the chapter:
franky is the only one who got nowhere to go to from the "destroy lab team"...so what would he do? coach luffy? coz im thinking he goes straight to looking for the laboratory.
and doflamingo is not in the colleseum, so he went to green bit to anticipate law's team? if that's the case, we might actually see franky's laser (and vegapunk's technology) brought up.
get my drift? doflamingo anticipating law and likely taking back ceasar and franky wandering all alone in dressrosa? just an idea i'd like to throw.

@MagicJinzo:
yo call me stupid but idc who thinks that the toy soldier will be the SH next nakama not only dos it fit with the SH crew being crazy and all it be badass and different thats what the SH are all about tell me what you think ?
i wouldnt have a problem with it. toy soldier = adds more diversity and craziness to the crew.
though i need to see some more criteria from him (dream, tragic past, etc.)
but he's kinda cool. i like his character….also, is he using "jet dial?"
so the "fairies who brings pumpkins" are actually skypieans? dunno.
