Well... this really doesn't seem like a good sign
Men are neither devils nor serpents. They are not out to harm you. Let us receive people in a natural way, with true and open minds.
- Fukuzawa Yukichi, An Encouragement of Learning
Being educated does not mean knowing strange words or reading ancient and difficult literature or enjoying poetry and writing verse and other such accomplishments which are of no practical use in this world. These accomplishments do give much pleasure to the human mind, and they have their own values, but they are not to be esteemed and worshiped as much as the usual run of scholars have tried to make them out to be…. Therefore, this kind of learning without real use should be left for another day, and one’s best efforts should be given to an education that is relevant to everyday use.

It is easy to find fault with and complain about all things in society, but it is very difficult to find remedies for these faults.

Okay, so Killingham's power is to put other people to sleep and control them? And Sommers' power would be to bring children's fears to life? Or is that also part of Killingham's ability? Like, his powers bring people's greatest fears to life, and as a result they fall asleep and Killingham can control them, similar to what Sugar's devil fruit did?
JUST TWO DADS DOING WHAT THEY THOUGHT WAS BEST FOR THEIR BABIES
We really can't have even a single peaceful chapter in this damn manga
Obsessed with how buggy kept his apprenticeship with Roger a secret. You'd think a guy who calls himself flashy would be as vocal as possible about his captain, the adventures they had, his connection to an emperor. But no, he never talked about it, and it's not just because he's a coward.
Buggy stayed in the same sea where his captain was killed for over a decade, the weakest sea in the world. He sought a lesser treasure no one cared about, terrorized small towns that couldn't fight back, didn't stay in contact with his former crew. These aren't the actions of a man seeking fame and fortune. If anything, he was actively sweeping himself under the rug of history.
Buggy wasn't biding his time in east blue, he was hiding. And now we know he was hiding because he didn't believe he deserved to chase his real dreams when Shanks existed, who had so much potential. So he stayed stagnant and comfortable in his little corner of the world, pretending he was satisfied, until a rubber boy jolted him out of his complacency, wearing a familiar straw hat...
Some things never change (modern AU)
Asagiri reminds us of Akutagawa, Atsushi and Dazai's past and expects us to be fine after that??
