1. I am guessing that the Navy has simply become more brutal, they may have even started drafting from nations to increase their might. Remember, they still have Smoker as well, and Kong (he isn't in the Marines, but he used to be.)

2. Thanks for bringing up the "not using the Gura Gura." I think he just didn't know entirely how to use it yet, or maybe he was practicing with his Yami Yami no Mi. Maybe it was pure arrogance. However, I don't think he gave it away. The most powerful Paramecia in existence? Hell no. He went through Whitebeard to get it, he ain't gonna let it go.

3. I don't know yet, but I sure as hell wanna see it. Same with Pluton.

4. WHERE DID IT SAY HE WAS ALIVE? I have looked through the entire thing five times and found nothing! Can someone please link me the page?

5. Big Mam's theme seems all over the place.....it seems like we will just have to wait and see.......but she is coming, which I am psyched for.

6. Akainu is strong, and he follows absolute justice. He will not hesitate to eliminate anyone in his way, and he serves the WG to the letter. The Gorosei probably liked him, and Kong liked Aokiji. No decision=fight for Fleet Admiral.
