It is interesting though 'cause, since we have no fucking True Clue what the hell Crocodile's actual real End Goal with Cross Guild is right now (does he want to get One Piece and fight the Strawhats+Shanks, does he want to get Pluton from Wano (and/)or does he want to destroy the World Government?? We don't know), that we just have a fuck ton of theories on what could happen, but no way to really tell what the actual direction this entire plot thread is going to be
And one I've seen a lot of people suggest was Cross Guild recruiting more of the former (/OG) Shichibukai into their ranks
And I just find that idea so fucking interesting
Because this is where one needs to remember that Oda based the OG Shichibukai on the Seven Heroes from Romancing SaGa 2. The Seven Heroes were a legendary group who once in the past saved the world from a great evil (before disappearing and turning into an evil for the game's protags to defeat). Just reading the descriptions you can see how each of the OG Shichibukai match up to one of the heroes respectively.
And the inspo would be fine and dandy by itself, like just some fun trivia about what inspired Oda. But the Seven Heroes were specifically created and lead by Wagnas, with Noel as his right-hand. Wagnas happens to be the character Crocodile matches up with, and Mihawk just happens to match up with Noel. And here we have Crocodile starting a new organization with Mihawk by his side, with unknown true goals.
And we do have that one World Government that needs to get overthrown so the world can be "saved". So like.
Suddenly, the idea that Cross Guild could recruit some of the other former Shichibukai (to maybe help take down the World Government?) doesn't sound too out-landish at all
Especially because Moria alone is already like an actual contender for someone who could maybe join Cross Guild. Like, assuming he's alive and made it out of Fullalead with Perona. 'Cause with Absalom dead and Hogback gone with the wind, Moria should have like nothing else left but himself and Perona. And while knowing Moria he's going to be Very Happy about reuniting with Perona, like... where's he gonna go? What's he gonna do if the two escaped Fullalead?
But because Perona and Mihawk already know each other, Perona could very easily become a bridge to getting Moria with CG, especially if he's still wounded etc from the escape, Perona would want her boss' to survive and she'd trust Mihawk to help probably.
And god knows, if Blackbeard tried or even succeeded at stealing Moria's Fruit, the man could have some legit good intel on Blackbeard (and how he steals powers) that he could then share with CG, something Crocodile could appreciate. Also, if Crocodile and Mihawk want to ensure the Marines are too scared to come after them, getting Moria in their ranks would help with that.
Then there's Kuma. And. Well.
Assuming Kuma doesn't kick the bucket in the next few chapters.
If Kuma is still somehow alive and his soul/memories can be put into a body (some people have been suggesting his memories could be implanted maybe into a Pacifista or that giant robot on Egghead or maybe even his Seraphim, or maybe just memories could be returned back into his original body), and if he'll still have the ability to near-instantly travel across the planet then I'm putting my money on him returning to the Revolutionaries to be honest.
But if he loses that ability, I don't think he's going to be sticking with the Strawhats to be honest. That said, he'll still need somewhere to go (with Bonney?), and with the rest of the Revs on the other side of the Grand Line... Cross Guild could, potentially, be the nearest, safest place for him, if for no other reason than the other former Shichibukai might be his safest bet right now. Especially if Crocodile ever did have any involvement with the Revolutionaries.
But indeed, this assumes Kuma isn't Turbo Perma-Dead Forever, which remains to be seen.
I know a lot of people love Doflamingo and would love to see him back. Personally I want him to stay in jail, where he deserves to be. <3 Also I don't think Crocodile would ever want Doflamingo working for him, let alone go out of his way to travel to Paradise to let him out (though if they did, they could also release Weevil while at it, since he's also stuck in Impel Down) (But honestly, unless someone else goes to break Weevil out and Doflamingo just escapes while he's at it, don't think he's getting out)
Quick honorable mention to Law, since he is also a Former Shichibukai. His crew got nuked by Blackbeard but I doubt he'd join Crocodile and Mihawk for any reason, especially if he's still in the race for One Piece (assuming Cross Guild isn't) (Like Buggy is but Buggy might skedaddle for all we know)
But with the Shichibukai, this just leaves us with Hancock.
Thing is, last we saw her she was still in Paradise, wanting to reunite with Luffy. It is entirely plausible she could (or may already have) set out for the New World if she feels like she has to leave Amazon Lily to protect her home-- which she might have to, considdering without her warlord status the Government has gone after her.
But indeed, if Hancock is on the run and heading to the New World, surely she'd want to find Luffy. So why would she ever join Cross Guild? She doesn't like men (aside from Luffy), so surely she wouldn't trust that disaster crew with a clown for a mascot.
But again. This is where "what the fuck is Crocodile's end goal" comes in again. Because if he wants to destroy the World Government and wreck the Nobles' out of orbit... Well. I don't think convincing Hancock to go back to the place where she was kept in slavery for years would be easy. But also. Perhaps, just perhaps, she could be persuaded into committing some delicious revenge under the right circumstances (whatever that might be).
IDK man, there's potential here, things could get so interesting with Cross Guild and whatever the fuck Crocodile is planning (vs how Buggy's mutiny rolls out)
It is kind of funny though, how like the best case scenario for Cross Guild Shichibukai Reunion would be like. Kuma and his daughter. Moria, Mihawk and their collective daughter. Crocodad and his sharp boyfriend. And Luffy's wannabe fiancée. (The clown is optional)

...I’d make you look, I’d make you lie, I’d take the coldness from your eyes...

I thought I'd somehow learn something that'd drastically change the way I feel about... quite the oposite. More questions now to Venigni, Sofia and Manus, rather than to...
What Is The Principle Of ‘Communication Through Ergo Wave Lengths’?
What Is The ‘Ergo Amplification’ Effect?

What Is The Interval Between The ‘Deal’ & The ‘Experiment’?

Rhetorical Question.
Why Admonish 𝓟? ‘Read’ Geppetto's Mind? Think You Know? Leave It Be.
A plan that is complicated to proceed, a combination of provoked events and "fortunate" circumstances, generating one genius technician's intention growing stronger each day... or all at once. It matters not.
Despite everything he observes, discovers, hears from others, the boy is eager to be with Geppetto, to reconcile x make him happy. Even at the cost of his life, even if that happiness will not be theirs. 𝓟's Creator, his Trigger, his Father gave him the reason to. The reason to feel like a real human. Because of the man's craft, he regrettably missed the time for Carlo in the past, but it's 𝓟's present that does define him… Our crippling, gentle, disorienting, astonishing present.
LO𝓟 is a great writer's philosophically fond tale taken by great minds & implemented in the form of melodius x glamorous ideality, NOT destined to burn the "core" of this tale to dust. Something that intense cannot be an illusion.

I'm rewatching some episodes and you know what, I always wondered why in chapter 191/episode 90, Dabi didn't attack Miruko when she arrived on scene. Not that I wanted him to. Instead, he bounced out of there.
I thought about it.
Him being him, he could have just shot fire at her and even taunt her, and then continued on with Endeavor and Hawks while they were down. He comes off as the type to not really give a damn about "right times" and what not. And his quirk can be advantage against someone like Miruko because again, it's fire. He could use it to keep her away.
But then I further thought about it.
One, he does recognize her. He didn't even remember Snatch, but recognized her.
Meaning, he knew what she was about and probably got flashbacks to when Gran Torino knocked him out. Something Gran Torino and Miruko have in common?
They're fast and melee fighter.
Dabi isn't. I guess he figured that he would have most definitely get his ass beat the moment Miruko got close to him.
Even if he shot fire at her, he would probably miss because she's fast. And even if he did get her, this is Miruko. It will not stop her!
The end result would still be possibly him getting knocked out and arrested.
THIS IS HER ENTRANCE INTO THE FIGHT!! THIS IS WHAT SHE DOES!!
Dabi is cool and all, but he doesn't have them hands. He's not stupid, he's knows that. He can read people, but Miruko? When he recognizes Miruko, he knew she was about it. That's someone he cannot toy with.
He was not going to further waste time there. He knows when to choose to retreat and what to fight.
That time? Oh, time to go!
And even if he did try to taunt her, try to get under her skin it would have been fruitless.
This Miruko, we're talking about. You think she'll let Dabi say something out the way to her? Exactly, what could Dabi say to her?
I would say it would have been a back and forth banter between them, but Miruko just doesn't seem like the type to waste time and most likely, she probably would have said something that would tick him off.

Out of curiosity what do you think about the doise?
I think he shouldn't throw ROCKS and death came for him specifically for the ROCKS.
But he's alright. 8)
