It's had the most foreshadowed plot threads, so natural expectation is that it's our next destination.

I subscribe to that prediction as well, but I'm not as firm as others.

It could be a quick stop on the way, or we could avoid going there all together.

Either way, I expect another arc after Wano, then Laugh Tale, then the final war.

Should all wrap up nicely in 9-10 more years :yasu:

Yeah, this is the main reason why I think that if it's next, it's a combined Vegapunk/Elbaf arc. Go back and see all of the references to Vegapunk and Gigantification, and how that tied to Caesar, Germa, Big Mom, Kaido (the Numbers), etc. It's ridiculous really lol.

I mainly think there is something in between though, some (hopefully) small transition arc that gives us more background on another faction, i.e.
Blackbeard and Hachinosu or Shanks' main island.

Maybe that place reintroduces us to Bonney or Urogue. Maybe that brings Crocodile back finally. Maybe this segues to some major conspiracy with the Underworld and that plotline (which isn't over BTW), and maybe as to who truly runs it beyond the Underworld Emperors. Maybe that leads to Vegapunk/Elbaf.

Maybe all of this leads to the Final War. Like how Punk Hazard not only lead to Dressrosa, but to Zou and culminated to Wano.

Yeah. Next arc is going to be a springboard for all the main players to Laugh Tale. So like you said, it could be Elbaf or somewhere else.

Either way, once Kaido falls and Luffy/Momo open Wano, we'll be officially in the final Saga of OP.

Agreed. It's interesting that a lot of people dont realize it's legitimately a "saga" that we still have left, just like the Yonko "saga". The difference is, Japan doesn't have a differentiator between "saga" and "arc" (i.e. it's just Yonko "arc" or "storyline" in Japanese).

So when Oda says "Final Arc", hes really talking about the final grander storyline. Which is obvious considering we have multiple islands left lol

Just a question. It's just interesting that so many of us believe that it is is in fact next when there is zero indication of it at this time.

I guess we assume it based on timeline comments based on the author/editors, but....what if it's not? Could be Vegapunks facility (separate from Elbaf unlike some theories). Could be Blackbeard's island, Hachinosu. Could be some new island tied to Shanks or the Underworld or something completely different.


I guess this'll be the the year we know what direction OP is truly heading. Are we closer to Lodestar/Laugh Tale than we think, or is there a significant amount of the journey left to go?
Oda hates Usopp would be canon if we never go to Elbaf

Elbaf won't take more than 20 chapters imo. It will be a set-up arc just like Zou. And I don't get the downplay against the Giants. People said they're mostly fodders which is not true. Back in pre-timeskip, Dorry and Broggy have their own mini version of Hakai which cuts the ocean in a long distance. Hajrudin is young but he's still pretty strong. Being the captain of New Giant Warrior Pirates and all. And even Big Mom said that if she had Giants on her side, she would beat Shanks, Kaido and even Whitebeard long ago. And she would have become Pirate King. So the Giants of Elbaf can't be underestimated.
Kuma's power is stupidly OP. With Nikyu Nikyu, Vivi can even one shot EOS Cook. :gokulaugh:

Who do you think will get it (if at all)? Koala, maybe?



:christindeed::christindeed::christindeed::christindeed::christindeed::christindeed::christindeed::christindeed::christindeed::christindeed::christindeed:

Thank you for this, man. :christman:
Vivi having Kuma's fruit sounds weird to be honest. It doesn't fit her fighting style imo. But Koala definitely would be op with Kuma's fruit. Imagine Fishman Karate + Paw Paw fruit?:christindeed:

If she combines the shockwave of FK with Nikyu....:hohoho:

I believe Elbaf is next simply because i expect it to be more of a lore dump and setup arc like Zou, rather than it actually having a major conflict.
After beating a Yonko (or 2) we're basically in endgame territory.

I stil consider some secret island a la Skypea

It's not.

We never went from major island to major island. Theres always one or two minor stops. The two exceptions are shabondy to Fishman Island Island of course Luffys non stop tear through the three major bases of the goverment.
Elbaf isn't major island bro
Post automatically merged:

I think Elbaf is next but it will be a short arc 20-30 chapters
