I wonder if Drake seeking out a Yonkou to protect his crew was from marine experience and knowledge. I'm still very interested why he defected. He'll be an ally to whoever takes down Kaido I think but won't be friendly afterwards. What I see in him so far is a person who wants to take down the Marines and Pirates strength. A theory fueled by idealism until we know more of course.
Also setting up the oppression in Dressrosa is getting a little tiresome… but it was also a nice chapter. I really hope that Dofla's motivations are explained soon, but it looks like it's being left until the showdown against Luffy.
Doflamingo has a "Master Plan". I've said this before it was announced but Monkey King tried to shut me down because of my "fanboy theory".
