Even if it is "too cliche", it's still the most logical and likely guess at this point. And it's not like Oda hasn't introduced new characters a mere few chapters after their names are first mentioned. If we exclude new villains, the most recent examples I can think of are Ivankov (who was introduced a few chapters after Bon Clay first mentioned him in ID), and Sabo (who appears in Luffy's flashback just a few chapters after Ace mentioned him in his dying speech). That being said, if Joker IS a preexisting character, I'd also guess that he was the guy that Doflamingo was chatting with before the timeskip (when he reported Moria's escape).



Anyways, before anyone else asks: YES, THERE WILL BE A CHAPTER THIS WEEK. So expect the new thread to be up around early Wednesday morning....
