We cant be clashing forever, WG has to start losing players. Warlords fell, Yonkos fell, time for Admirals and Gorosei to fall as well.
Too many big players are gathering on Egghead for it to be just an escape and if we hold Rupee by his words, he said he aint running.
Of course setting stuff up and doing nothing is not new for Oda but Egghead seems like a perfect battlefield without civilians.
