As always people are quick to jump on the bandwagon of a new shiny character, especially after a very flashy and provocative introduction. Oda needed a very provocative chapter for a month long break to keep the "ever more disappointed audience" patiently waiting, while he tries to pull himself up, gather all the strength he has left, for the last voyage to the end of this 20 years long journey called one piece. I'm actually happy that Oda really tries his best here, he knows that he's out of shape as an author, he knows that he has done some egregious mistakes, but he took this break to pull whatever strength he has left to deliver as much as he can for the climax of the story. Even I can respect that, I hope Oda spends this break as efficiently as possible. But that's not the point... the point is, is that we have a new character, and a lot of expectations, and today I'm going to do my best to analyze and hopefully predict what's going to happen in the upcoming chapters–so let me put my analyst hat on, and let's begin.
Oda has already laid the groundwork for the future events with Greenbull in Wano, so what I'm going to do here, is to list all the plot points (and you can add the ones that I might forget) that have already been introduced, and try to connect them into one plotline that hopefully makes sense in the overall narrative of Wano and the start of the new saga in the next chapter 1054.
Established plot points for Greenbull
Oda has already laid the groundwork for the future events with Greenbull in Wano, so what I'm going to do here, is to list all the plot points (and you can add the ones that I might forget) that have already been introduced, and try to connect them into one plotline that hopefully makes sense in the overall narrative of Wano and the start of the new saga in the next chapter 1054.
- Greenbull ending his fasting | a.k.a Hiyori spoon feeding Greenbull and flirting with him.
Oda didn't introduce this side of Greenbull's character just for the sake of it, there's a "Chekhov's gun here." Oda makes the point that Greenbull is a womanizer, and although he doesn't need to eat but if there was a beautiful woman who would feed him, then he would end his three years long fasting. Hiyori is the best prostitute of Wano, plus she's the most beautiful girl in Wano, and what a confidence that there's an entire royal party/banquet in Wano.
- Greenbull terraforming Wano with his DF ability.
Luffy promised to Tama that by the time they leave Wano, it'll be a place where you can have as much food as you need. And for that to happen, Wano's deserts have to become filled with life forests which can be achieved through Greenbull's DF abilities.
- Greenbull cleaning Wano from the pathetic trash called beast pirates.
this one is almost done, Greenbull has already called the prison battleship for the beast pirates. But there are other beast pirates that we haven't seen, so by the time Greenbull leaves, there will be no beast pirates remaining in Wano.
- Revealing what happened in the outside world, Sabo, Vivi and Marijoa.
Greenbull is probably the only character that can tell what really happened in the outside world, Blackbeard, Sabo, Vivi, Marijoa etc. But most importantly, how the hell did Buggy become an Emperor!?
- Momo showing that he has the qualities to be a King by making some short of deal with the Marines/WG through Greenbull.
While I don't know what will the Wano people do with the factories, but the Marines need weapons, and Wano's craftsman need funds to rebuild their country. It makes sense for Momo to make some kind of deal with Ryokugyu.
- And the last but not least, Greenbull getting his desired approval from Akainu. He can't go home empty handed, right?
The possible outcome from these plot lines.
So, I think that Greenbull will crash the party, there will be some skirmishes between Greenbull and Luffy, but then ether Hiyori or Momo will interfere. As the king of Wano Momo will explain the situation, there will be an interesting conversation between them. Hiyori will be flirting with Greenbull and keeping him occupied. It's hard for me to believe that Oda would have the balls to allow the strawhats to defeat Greenbull, on the other hand Luffy is too strong for a lone Admiral. So I think Greenbull himself will very soon realize that he overestimated Luffy, but he can't go home empty handed, so he will take the beast pirates + the weapons deal with Momo (maybe, I'm not sure about this one). Whatever happened in Marijoa will be tide to the new saga, it will most likely be connected to Sabo which will in turn lead strowhats into some conflict involving the Revolutionaries. In exchange for the weapons deal Greenbull will terraform Wano, or MAYBE during their skirmish between Greenbull and Luffy, Luffy will realize that their battle creates forests and will drag him through the Wano country. And then as soon as it's done, Luffy will order his crew to prepare for departure, and they will simply escape Wano. Just like they did in water seven.
