I have been thinking about how Oda could potentially handle Crossguilds future in the upcoming chapters and I, like other people, think that they are gonna go to Impel Down. With the revelations that Moria is more likely than not getting saved by Perona (since let's be real here why the fuck would Oda keep him alive and have her go on this rescue mission otherwise) it seems more and more likely that all Warlords not explicitly associated with anybody will join Crossguild.
Even if Moria has not slimed down via his time in captivity and gets a prison buff like Crocodile did/ isn't motivated as fuck after learning that Kaido is finally dead, I could see Mihawk vouching for him for Perona's sake via some comedy-induced stuff of her nagging him until he goes "fine whatever" because, at the end of the day, the still got complete weaklings in the guild already. Might as well let the dude join that can give them a manpower buff via Zombies/ a giant moveable island to use as a base.
When it comes to them going after Impel Down, I think it will likely be at the demand of Crocodile who wishes to free Doffy to get some info from him about Mary Goa, since I would presume Crocodile to have enough control over the underworld now that he might have learned/always known Doffys past. Per complete chance I think they will stumble upon Greenbull who is just now delivering Weevil to prison. Mihawk and Greenbull fight, and the rest of the crew save Doffy and deals with Magellan and the Jailers.
In theory, this could take long enough for Moria and Perona to arrive (who knows how they would find them, maybe Mihawk gave Perona a vivre card?) but otherwise, they might catch up another way. Regardless, with Impel Down's (relatively) close proximity to Amazon Lily, I think that might just be the next stop for Crossguild. If they have Thriller Bark by this point, them driving the islands closer to Lily and guarding it if the Amazons join their alliance seems like a logical next step.
This would leave them in a perfect position for the eventual final war, where they could attack Mary Goa from the Paradise side while Blackbeard and or Lufdy and the Revors probably begin the assault from the New World direction. A two-front war could provide the chaos required for Crocodile and or Doffy to pull of whatever plan they might cook up together, while also being a fairly attractive proposition for Boa since it allows her to take revenge. Moria and Weevil are less clear but for all we know Moria is just going be happy to collect a few strong bodies again and Weevil could just be thankful for the rescue and join in with the fun.
Mihawks motivations are less clear but I could see hi being convinced that if he helps topple the WG he would be allowed peace and quiet again/maybe an opportunity to fight the sword-wielding Gorosei?
Regardless, I think the overall trajectory seems quite plausible. First Impel Down, the Amazon Lily, then a backstab of Mary Goa during the Final War. But what do you all think?
