Ch. 782, page 15. "I'm the captain of a ship too....I can't be leaving them to Straw Hat-ya.....how am I to face them then?"

Granted, this is MangaPanda, and I didn't make the full transition to MangaStream until like 790 something. Unfortunately Mangastream only keeps up the most recent 2 chapters, so I'm having trouble finding additional translations.

As far as not caring about Kaido.....c'mon now. His comments in 782 and then 783 about his personal responsibility in bringing Luffy into this.....do you really think he'd just send his crew off without some kind of explanation that hey, you guys MIGHT not be seeing me again? The guy who's ya know, the reason you're all pirates? He revealed this chapter him and Bepo go back 10+ years. It'd also be rather fucked up for him to send his crew off, and recruit someone elses crew to risk their lives for HIS mission just so they'd be safe. I mean i know pirates can be low sometimes, but that's the definition of fucked up. There's no clear explanation as to why he'd want Luffy's crew to help him accomplish his Dressrosa goals and not his own, so unfortunately your proposal poses more questions than it answers. Not saying him wanting to keep them out of harm's way couldn't be part of it, just doesn't exactly answer why Zou, and not somewhere else.
