Yeah I do agree that Jack is been pretty underwhelming. Regarding the statement of Neko and Inu being as strong as Jack, I only made that statement in response to people who went on about 'how can a 1B bounty man be losing to a cat and a dog?' My purpose was the highlight that there can be strong fighters who are not notorious pirates or Marine Admirals as well. Neko and Inu can jolly well be such characters. I fully agree that their skirmish is no where near enough as indication of their strength.

I also agree with all your points about Jack being in his Mammoth form for mass destruction purposes. It is very likely, he thought the Minks were pushovers and planned to use his standard Mammoth form to wreak havoc (his subordinates did voice out that thought anyway). Although on this point I'd have to say THAT might be the reason why his subordinates are getting their ass handed to them. We've learned that Kaido has an ARMY of artificial DF users. For all we know, these are just the weak bunch making up foot soldiers. Many crews have fodder foot soldier type characters. Kaido won't be any different. All I'm seeing is that Kaido's fodder soldiers are somewhat stronger than other fodder soldiers thanks to the artificial zoan. I mean, even when a weak person eats a DF, they don't automatically become much stronger. Considering that none of them expected the Minks to be strong, they probably didn't prepare much of a force.

The Minks are introduced as a race of fighters. That's what they're proud of. Even infants are supposed to be able to defend themselves. I don't see why them being able to hold up against the foot soldiers would be an issue.

The one thing I'll concede is the whole using Caesar's weapon bit. I do agree that was disappointing. Like you said, I'd have preferred if Jack himself took care of things. However, another perspective to look at would be based on the fact that we still don't really know Jack's full personality apart from his love of destruction. I wouldn't discount him to be someone who's also arrogant as fuck and prefers to let others do the dirty work. So far, he's been just standing there swiping his trunk around, only starting to look interested when Inu and Neko showed some unexpected strength. I think it's entirely plausible that he sees it as a way to insult the Minks. That you're not worth my time, for him to decide to end things with a chemical weapon. Caesar's chemical weapon was relative new in the market. Jack could have wanted to test it out and saw this as the perfect opportunity. I mean, my point is, we don't know his motivations. Just because the Minks were done in by the chemical weapon doesn't mean that they wouldn't HAVE been done in without the chemical weapon. That was just doggirl's opinion.

Anyway, I think so far from Jack's actions, he seems like a rather random unpredictable sort of reckless guy. I guess in summary, I get what you mean that Jack really fails in the attention grabbing cool department, but we agree that all these points are not enough to indicate that Jack isn't worth his bounty.
