While its true that there are elements of this arc that can be related to Alabasta .. but its different in its own way. While Alabasta was about civil war between the Royal family, rebel and the underground organization .. this arc is about "rewriting the fate of the nations and erasing all the unwanted aspects while keeping the profitable" .. there are dark schemes and bigger intentions behind Doglamingo's actions. All we can do is wait and watch what happens the week after next~
