Speculations Predict what island Law, Luffy, and Kid are going to next and what happens to them

#3
Had some ideas a few days / weeks back

Hmm some idea dump

- Elbaf arc. It's Buggy's territory since he he had earned Elbaf (their worshipped god, called "Eternal King") metaphorical blessing, through a specific trial in Elbaf kingdom. Their deceased King, Odin, designed the trial, but Buggy and his crew apparently get the success, something that hasn't been done since ever. Included in the rituals is also combat test, which Buggy and his crew breezed through...since apparently in Buggy's crew there is Edward Weevil who joined due to Buggy's deception.

- Loki's info network detected about Sabo's involvement in Cobra's death. Loki doesn't trust The Strawhats since Cobra is their friend while Luffy, the captain, is the lil bro of Sabo. Sanji wants to clear Luffy's name. Sanji vs Loki.

- At the same time Zoro barges in an Elbaf strategic meeting in which Buggy also participates. Zoro tells Buggy to help clear Luffy's name.

- Buggy says to Zoro that if Zoro wants help, he must defeat a certain crew member of Buggy who waits for him in the Elbaf tradition of Fighting Tournament.

- Zoro goes to the tournament, slashes and dices, arrives in the final. Apparently, a certain crew member of Buggy is a certain Dracule Mihawk.

- Mihawk joined Buggy as a temporary crew, thanks to Shanks who trolled Mihawk to have some comrades for once. Mihawk asked why not Shanks offered to join Red Hair Pirates instead? Shanks trolled Mihawk even more, taunting Mihawk's lack of confidence in social life and getting to know strangers, instead of being in a comfort zone of having Shanks as his comrade.

- Thus Mihawk joined Buggy by Shanks' trolling and recommendation. Within a few months, Buggy (actually Mihawk and Weevil) had achieved Emperor status due to taming Elbaf as his territory.

- The final of Elbaf Tournament. Zoro vs Mihawk. The decisive battle for World's Strongest Swordsman. Zoro figures out the way to obtain the strongest Armament Haki, blackens Wado Ichimonji and remembers Kuina, defeats Mihawk by formulating a new technique with Kuina's past Ougi being his inspiration, and become WSS.

- Mihawk tells Zoro that Shanks seemed to manipulate Mihawk into joining Buggy for a certain purpose. Like it was as if Shanks tricked both Mihawk and Buggy to build military strength in Elbaf, to put his eggs (battle resources in the form of alliance) in different baskets (unpredictable locations), to prepare for something (It's to be revealed later that Shanks wants military reassurance, that Elbaf and Mihawk will help whoever remains as The Pirate King, to end Imu's dominion).

- Mihawk tells Zoro, Luffy and his crews should immediately prepare for The Throne War of Three Emperors. Luffy vs Blackbeard vs Shanks.

---

- On the other side of Elbaf...
Luffy wanna have an adventure in Elbaf, he heard of a mysterious artifact in some mountain or something. He decided to search for it. Nami and Usopp accompany him. Meet some illusions and traps. The location is apparently the most impenetrable natural 3-dimensional maze in the world, made up from absurd wall and looping stairs, looping road in the forest, formation of traps everywhere, Nami and Usopp dismantle the traps again and again, them getting frustrated, but finally able to find the way through once Luffy uses G5 which bend the maze open.

- Apparently in the heart of the mountain, they find Elbaf himself, The Eternal King of Giants, who is the first giant in history, the strongest giant ever, living since Void Century. He guards the artifact. It's a Trial by Combat. Luffy vs Elbaf.

- Luffy defeats Elbaf. Elbaf tells about the story of his old friend Zunisha...and also about Imu, identity at the peak World Government. The previous Trial by Combat (Luffy vs Elbaf) is to determine whether the one arriving at this place to receive the artifact, will be strong enough to possibly have a chance against Imu.

- Luffy asks Elbaf to join his crew. Elbaf agrees. But he can't order the army of giants to follow Luffy, since they will not even recognize his identity, let alone obey his command. Luffy is fine with it, saying it's all good since the giant army is in Buggy's hands.

- The artifact given by Elbaf is an egg named Thanatos. It's the fourth, hidden Ancient Weapon. A biological weapon, which is programmable by unknown means.

- They bring the egg back to Sunny. Usopp, Nami, Robin, Sanji, analyze the fruit. Trying something, Brook release his soul, entering the egg, thus apparently being able to program it using Awakening. This is the beginning of Brook's coronation as Thanatos, The God of Death.

I dont believe in the Sphynix arc. There is nothing relevant to do there. And the info Oda wanted to give us about the Reverie events he already gave us those in the last few chapters. So i dont consider that map at all because its not part of the manga,and i think something bigger will happen.
 
#7
SHs will get separated again on Next Island
Law will reach BB Territory and meet Aokiji
Kid is obviously going to meet the guy he mentioned
 
#8
Law - Elbaf and will be waiting for the SHs there with the final poneglyph

Kid- will go to Fullalead and maybe meet Luffy there.

Luffy will go to sphinx and face off against Weevil, who will ultimately change his mind about killing all the WB pirates

Either all 3 reconvene at Elbaf or Lodestar. I think Elbaf is more likely since I believe we might see Big Mom there again to have her closure and she has beef with all 3

Holy shit, never knew we could predict the next stop by a map already provided, so long it has been just log/eternal pose, Luffy's retard shit and vivre card that led to the next island.
And going by this Oda already set up the SN captains next stops. I thought that they would be shunned after Wano but Law going to Elbaf before SHPs and Kid going to Hachinuso pretty much sets them up to have another major role later. And Kid going to Hachinuso also probably sets up him meeting the guy with the burn mark (assuming the guy is a pirate, Pirate Paradise is probably the best place to find that guy). There is a chance though that the SHPs skip these islands and we get info on them through Kid and Law though Usopp going to Elbaf was pretty much set in stone.

Can you elaborate ?
I dont think he means something Sabaody style but the classic separation that happens at the beginning of every arc

I will laugh a lot next week if,as i said,that map will be revealed useless

I can't reveal why I think they are gonna get separated yet, I believed in the idea for long now, I only questioned how

But now Oda is hinting towards it, he wants to separate M3 at least cuz he wants to show multiple Islands at same time in preparation for Final Arc/War, and to do that he needed to create a Character with a Teleport Ability, and that's Kuma

After that, he needed to make them meet, so he turned Kuma into a slave so that Sabo sees him when he goes to Mary Geoise and then saves him before escaping

Now Oda only has to make Luffy meet Sabo again, which is why next destination is Sphinx Island or Island where Ace is buried

However Oda needs to explain why Sabo didn't directly return to Dragon, it's cuz Kuma is a Robot and they fear he leaks Info, which is why Oda made one of Revos Commanders, a Scientist

Once SHs and Sabo Team meet and exchange info, efforts to fix Kuma fail and he surprises them by teleporting M3 (Remotely Controlled by Vega), and btw this is why Oda didn't reveal SHs Bounties, cuz we are gonna see them through Kuma's Pacifista Eyes (A la Dragon Ball Z)

Zoro gets sent to Island of Hell, Sanji to Island of Science and Luffy to Island of Gods, or in other words Impel Down, Vegapunk Island and Mary Geoise (Sanji is Germa Masterpiece so Vega wann check him, while Luffy is wanted by WG or Gorosei precisely)

This is done for multiple reasons, it allows Oda to show multiples sides at same time and also allow connect everything to prepare for Final War

This will also help show us the Three other Yonko, because what will be their next Biggest Move?
First of all, SSG are created to counter Yonko, so Oda must show us their use in a Yonko Territory, which is why he made Shanks leave his and now he is going back

Shanks Territory will be used as Hype for SSG, once Shanks arrives, he gets super Angry and decides to attack Vegapunk Island. Cross Guild are creating a Rebellion + Doffy/Croco Team Up Hints, it's expected they are gonna raid Impel Down. BB on the other hand is a D, follows in Xebec footsteps and his Crew all have DFs that are Perfect for Infiltration

So while Luffy is in Mary Geoise, it's gonna get attacked by BB Pirates, Zoro in Impel Down will meet Cross Guild and Sanji will meet Red Hair Pirates. As for their main fights, King of Hell will face Magellan (I can prove it if interested), Warrior of Science gonna fight Lucci (Proven by Power Rangers) and Sun God gonna fight Kizaru (Finally getting his Revenge)

These three simultaneous Arcs will also be used to introduce Imu, Lurking Legend and other Villains I won't reveal now (Think of them as Final Villains Team, it will be similar to CP9 Reveal)

During all of this, we are gonna witness Destruction of Fishmen Island by Lurking Legend wearing the Bigger Straw Hat, Zoro gonna be a witness, and once all M3 escape their Islands, they all meet in Marine HQ where they will clash with Akainu, Fuji and Ryo before escaping (Just short clash)

All of this will end with the reveal that Final War must happen in Elbaf cuz that's where Villains are headed, so we get:

Monster Trio heading to Elbaf
Imu and his Team going there before them
Other Yonko set their route towards it too
Akainu decides it's time to join the war with all forces
... etc

As for other SHs who remained in Sphinx Island, Oda made one of Revos Commanders a Giant, so he can take them to Elbaf making them first to arrive and it allows Usopp to shine there with absence of M3 and become a Leader Figure. The other Revo Commander was given a DF that allows him to deliver messages in many places, clearly to help Oda move news and plans around, while other Commander is a Mink who can find Zunisha

So basically I believe we gonna have 5 Chapters about Sphinx Island and then around 40 Chapters for M3 Arc, leaving Oda with 100 Chapters for Elbaf, Lodester, Laugh Tale and Epilogue (Ending basically)

Sorry for long post xD

Luffy will begin on their way to the next island
Luffy will run into Sabo and Vivi

We find out what happened at the reverie
This leads the straw hats to going towards Vegapunk

No worries about the long post, it was a great read.
Lot of good points, some on which I agreed even before reading it (like Doffy/Croco team up for example).
Will all this happen? I don't know, let's see...

What I really can't get my mind around is how do you think Oda will close everything by CH. 1200...
I'm completely sure that One Piece won't end before CH. 1400, hell, maybe even 1500.

Thanks, glad u enjoyed it

Tbh I also find it difficult to imagine everything wrapped up in 150 Chapters, and realistically for me and based on Oda's recent pacing, OP should end in Chapter 1300 at least

However I also believe Oda is obsessed with numbers and will desperately try to end everything in Chapter 1200 give or take, so that Post TS perfectly mirrors Pre TS

He did this before when he made sure East Blue Saga ends in Chapter 100 and had to remove a Chapter focusing on Usopp to do so

I believe his recent Month Break was mostly to decide the pacing that allows him to finish in the desired number

If my Theory is correct and Oda finishes the set up Arcs at exactly 1100 then I can see Lodester Visit taking 5 Chapters, Laugh Tale Reveal taking 5 Chapters, Void Century Flashback taking 10 Chapters and Final moments of each SH taking 10 Chapters

This means Oda will have 70 Chapters for Elbaf/War Arc which tbh I believe is doable

In the past he was able to draw Sabaody, Amazon Lily, Impel Down, Marineford, post war, Luffy flashback and three chapters from post ts in just 100 Chapters, so it's kinda doable for Final War
