Regarding Spandam,  I'm almost positive at this point (as are I'm sure a lot of us) that he is well connected to the Celestial Dragons.

That is the only way a bumbling klutz like him could have gone unpunished for Summoning Buster call on Enies Lobby, and then unknowingly admiting he intended to do so over the PA. (how dyou survive that unscathed unless you have royalty backing you) Also, it was never explained his connection that gave him possession of the Devil Fruits in the Enies Lobby arc right? And finally, What is he doing in CP0? where did that promotion come from?
