Gladius fight is one of those that I look out for the most in this arc.
He has most serious, sharp design out of Doflamingos crew imo, looks like he doesnt fuck around and with his ability and some good match up he can get very memorable fight during this arc.
Guy might not be Seat but he sure has charisma, is ruthless and he was fine after suprise jet stamp from Luffy so being pushover is out of question. Maybe he doesnt have comparable power at this point in story but for me he is something like Daz Bones was back in the day, lover in enemies ranks but still.
@Pk:
If CP0 is even on the island. I'd love to see them but it's more leaning to the fact that they only came to give a report and leave
Well Diamante is around where Doflamingo is along with Trebol. I believe that Kyros and Diamante are going to clash. Sabo does want see where the weapons are coming from, why not head to the head hancho?
I also have the strangest feeling that Trebol has the key to the factory despite his reaction to the keys being sliced up. His staff is the same shape and design as the keys.
1. CP0 I would expect to see during same arc that we will see Sentomaru, Kuma and Kizaru. It was foreshadowed that Strawhats will defeat them at some point and they all tie to Vegapunk who has to be introduced sooner than later during arc taking place probably at Holy Land.
2. RamistaR had idea on Trebol staff being the key for Smile factory quite few weeks ago, even before Keys to factory were shown to be destroyed and it was already discussed so your feeling might be right.
Trebol seems to be most trusted man after Vergo in Doflamingos crew. Mingo gave him Mera Mera to protect, then we seen that he is also guarding Sugar so 2 really precious to Doflamingo things were left in hands of Trebol from protection.
Third thing being Trebol holding key to factory as his staff would testament him as most trusted Mingos crewmate after Vergo so Im all into that idea.
Well after second thought- he is already proven to be most trusted after Vergo- he was holding keys for factory in the pocket..
