Legit thoughts PX, about Kuzan being a broker who saw the PH incident via CC broadcast (whether him being an actual broker or pretending or undercover is a different topic), thus explaining his presence there.

About the two alliances made public, seems that (if I read you correctly) you think they purposely announced their alliance. I think is not true, Law & Luffy alliance was revealed during the CC broadcast to those watching (some broker or perhaps an undercover may alert the papers or Marines). What I can't make out was how did the other alliance got known as in the manga, I thought they are meeting in secret. Though there is a chance of them deliberately making their alliance known for a deeper purpose behind it.

I agree WG will be in shock now that two of their Shichibukais having issues (one resigned, one alligned with sworn enemy's son. Interesting to know how will they (WG) deal with the current dilemma, unless the Sakazuki-lead Marines are now powerful enough not to depend on the Shichibukais too much.

WU, thanks for the compliment (y)

Marijuanna, I don't think how Doflamingo resigning will solidify Law's post, unless Law is playing the "make-WG-desparate-enough-so-they-CANNOT-lose-me" game. I don't think WG will want to be seen as so deperate they have to keep Law, nah they'd lose face and respect.
