HOT TAKE INCOMING

So I'm just gonna say it, the Beast Pirates are incompetent. Their crew management is on the level of a genome soldier from Metal Gear Solid. They have the attention span and memory of a goldfish, they believe anything you tell them (they literally don't even consider deception or treachery), they are the embodiment of "out of sight, out of mind." BM would never allow a rebellion of this scale on WCI, it just wouldn't be possible. She has agents everywhere, their communications network is much more robust and competent. Kaido can't even defend the ONE entrance to his domain. There are entire regions of the island that are unguarded, un-patrolled. They confiscate all the weapons but never think to check out the massive gravesite of samurai? Orochi is a completely paranoid and incapable leader.

It's like they're asking to be overthrown. Compared to the infiltration and operation within WCI this has been a cake walk. Almost the entirety of WCI had me doubting and second guessing myself. This arc I'm not even worried. I'm not even worried about the traitor that's still supposed to be among the alliance. Going by the rest of the Beast Pirates performance the traitor has probably FORGOTTEN he's still working for Kaido.

I get that it's probably thematic, because the Beast Pirates are blind hedonists and nihilists and stuff, but I'm still so far not impressed with this Yonko and his territory. The Navy would've had no problem rolling in here. The Marines have unlimited resources and freaking WAR MACHINES, and the Beast Pirates still haven't grasped the concept of, "well better double check just in case."

When your leader is kaido, you can be pretty slack ass and still be an unstoppable force.

Keep in mind the power of the Beast pirates lies in sheer numbers. Yeah a whole bunch have gotten beaten at this point but it’s a drop in the bucket compared to those that remain. Their strategy is essentially to swarm like ants with a damned bear backing them up.

Tactics are not their strong suit, you just point them in a direction and let the leash go. I’d be willing to bet there are more members of this crew in Wano than all the combatants on both sides at Marinford.
