User blog comment:The credo/SHE is Kinemon: The Mulan of One Piece/@comment-109.228.146.204-20121010091858

My point is, if he is not the next, then his early appearance is just pointless 

How do you even know that for sure? (that his appearance would be just pointless?)

For the record, I don't really think Kinemon will be the next SH (right now he is just another SH ally imo) but its a bit silly to say he would be/is a waste of time when we don't even know where this arc will be going and how it will end up.
