From detail of chess4 say: "the warlords of the sea are no more. mihawk and shanks are boys so i don think he would attack whitebeard if shnks is allied with him. jimbei and boa have allied themselves with luffy, crocodile as well but he is a former warlord. blackbeard has his own plans. moria and daflamingo will probbly fight. kuma is the most interesting though. i think by him sending the strawhats to different places will end up being the best thing for them. im sure what he whispered to rayleigh was that he was saving them, but he had to do it without losing face. im sure kuma knew at their current levels and progression, that they still couldnt reach there individual goals."
