that, I did not expect. I'll be damned.
Worth noting that the unevolved STR form is the only F2P STR orb locker available (RR Kumadori is the only other one, the Boa from the World Pirates fortnight is another F2P option, but that's months from now), so it's actually a reasonable idea to skill up the STR one instead since Hina already covers QCK orb locking.
That is, assuming you put enough value in orb locking. I've used Paulie a few times, but otherwise I think the only time you'd use that ability is with the characters who do it alongside other things (Aokiji, SW Ace, 3D2Y Robin). Probably not really worth the effort to do much with either form of fortnight Wapol. I might just socket the story version. QCK Wapol is a F2P Driven captain option, at least.
If we skip the Kimono characters fortnights(I see them as new years fortnights and they did the same with the Luffy/Zoro fortnight) the next unit we get is Marguerite. Looks like Bandai is on the shooter hype train!
I'm really wondering what they'll give us next. They do treat the Kimono stuff as being special events, but it'd be weird to delay all three of the upcoming ones for several months. Though at least that would give them time to give us Legend Jimbe, it'd really suck to get that fortnight before him.
To be honest, I understand treating the Halloween stuff as special events, since there's a chance at 4 Strawhat sockets per run, not to mention the "Best of" styled skill book drops. But Kimono's really no different than, say, Afro Luffy, as socket potential goes, and the skill books are just like any other fortnight. I think Japan gets them regularly too, they at least have a ranking associated with some of them.
