As I've said, while I suspected Califa was a spy before they revealed it I really didn't see the other two being traitors. Just blew my mind.
That said, I don't like the fact that all the badguys have the same powers. Granted they all have devils fruits too, but most of their power comes from their 6 disciplines or whatever. They got speed, invulerability, flight, DBZ dodges, slash kicks, and finger bullets. I honestly don't see how the Straw Hats could possibly beat CP9 at this time. I can only guess that either the badguys are gonna get what they want and leave, leaving them to be fought later in the series, or Robin is gonna switch back teams again and knows some kind of weakness of theirs.
It also seems pretty obvious to me that Paulie is gonna be the new Strawhat carpenter. And I'm all for that, even though I don't really like his powers so far. But at least he looks cool. Some people are saying its gonna be Franky but I just don't see that. At least, I hope not, I can't look at that speedo every week man. Besides, Franky has his family. Paulie just lost all his nakama.
While we're on the subject, and since I had to skip, where do you manga readers get your translated scans from? I'd like to read from the end of K-F's to the beginning of Geru's. Also, if you can tell me what chapter numbers that is, that'd be great.
