One Piece Episode 658

So the toy transformation also comes with mind control.

I wonder how so many of them are able to break free. Is it just willpower?

The big secrets are out of the bag — and nobody was surprised!

Yeah, no kidding.

Still, Flamingo wasn't stupid at all with the way he rose to power.

Yeah, it's just the people that are stupid.

Although they've yet to explain how exactly he was framed. If it's literally just a bunch of people burned down the country and kill a bunch of people, and then these new people nobody recognizes just went "the King did it!" and they just believed them, then that's stupid.

Let's hope it's a bit more complicated plot than that, even if this is a shounen series. Looking at the old king's disposition now and how he doesn't even try to defend himself, it seems to me Flamingo actually might have managed to make the king perform a big mistake on his own (not necessarily the big fire but something bad nevertheless). So, Flamingo could have been fooling both the people and king Riku's court. Crocodile pulled it off partially. Famingo seems even smarter in evilness.

What do you mean by "so many of them"? The only one that's currently doing anything destructive towards the family is the toy soldier. They still have minds of their own, they just can't control their body the way they want to.

All of the ones that were thrown in the trash because they tried to tell their former families the truth.

I have a feeling they get thrown away also when they simply break physically. The fruit user seemed to like the new patch of people to turn into toys since they are strong and thus apparently make tougher toys.
