The minks are capable warriors prolly as told by Bepo to Law. Kaido has an army of 500 zoans and will take more than luffy and Law's crew combined to take them on. The minks did a good job in keeping Jack's army back and would want revenge. (I think Law wanted to see the leader of the minks for some reason.) Is Law at Zou just to get his crew? i don't think his crew will make much difference against Kaido? But using Bepo. He could persuade them to join them against Kaido. Law just happened to run into luffy at Punk Hazard and Law was at punk hazard by himself for months. His plan was already in effect and would go along with the plan whether the straw hats were a part of it or not? The Law alliance will get the minks to easily join them in taking down Kaido since they need an army themselves. Artificial zoans aren't just random fodder but have unique abilities. So they need all the help they can get! Your thoughts and your own predictions?
