Maybe he's just out of view.
Har Har Har
It's odd that we've got all these scenes with the Big Mom pirates and we seem to be revving up for the climax and we still have yet to see him (assuming it's a him). Makes me curious what role he will play at the tea party. Is he being withheld for a Pica-style joke? Or to play a large role in the climax like Akainu? Is Bobbin about to cart him in and show Sanji and Luffy what for?
And why is he called Lord Starch???? I must know dammit!!!!
