I'm guessing Maynard had secret orders from Akainu in case Issho failed, and deliberately pretended to be weak to avoid attracting attention. This is definitely the sort of thing Akainu would do: destroy a whole island to eliminate Doflamingo, who basically has the government blackmailed to do whatever he wants. It is just the sort of plot twist Oda would do that no one would expect. But I got no idea on what Issho's doing.

FINALLY we get the Corazon flashback! And I have to say, I wasn't disappointed. Oda made it so it was completely different than what most people would predict, but it still makes perfect sense. I have to say, I was blown away by how Corazon was characterized. Nobody ever thought he was mute and clumsy, completely the opposite of his brother. I'm betting he's not actually mute, but it's still funny. And it also sets up the eventual conflict in a way that no one was expecting: Doflamingo is using Law as a sacrifice to give him eternal life, and something tells me Corazon will object to that. The whole thing feels a lot like Voldemort and his Horcruxes.

Well, I did get one thing right about Corazon, and it's that he didn't like Law at first.
