Joker is no joke. Although I don't really share Law's sentiment on the difficulty of fooling the world for a bit. If there's only one international newspaper and that's pretty much it news wise, then fooling the world in things like this should be easy enough, if done sparingly. Though the fact even admirals knew nothing is of course interesting, but that might be a good sign of the kind of hard-line Marines Akainu is leading. In any case it's good the so far useless Celestial Dragons are getting some depth in the story.
Two things I'm wondering about is Law/Straw hats' total lack of a Plan B and on the other hand what Joker intends to do about Fujitora (and the troops). Caesar should be a wanted man, so the Marines should insist on taking him into custody, not hand him over to Joker. Obviously Joker wouldn't allow that as he needs the scientist. Can he simply call some upper level and have Fujitora ordered to leave Caesar to Joker (or arrange a transfer later)? Would Fujitora do it? Or will Joker need to kill the whole bunch and tell the world Law did it? At the very least Law should spill the beans promptly now, making Fujitora a troublesome existence for Joker.
