But... Pekoms is a zoan... or at least seems to be, there's no way you can possibly make that "invalid." And, I don't believe Pekoms seems to be a Zoan, Tamago can be quoted saying "the beasts of Big Mam's pirate crew..." how can that not be taken as evidence after the Doflamingo "Era of Smile's" statement 200 chapters before it was explained!! I feel that with an animosity between Luffy and Big Mam having alreay been established, though I actually believe it's entirely plausible that Blackbeard could have been buying the Smile's, he does seem to have an infatuation with DF's, but I maintain, Big Mam is an entirely plausible, and desirable enemy for the Strawhats in the near future, and the Smile's could be her weapon of choose!
