This is clearly a build up, Oda is preparing here. Something big is coming. Since he wrote in his Festa-letter from December 2023 that the fight "[...] between that person and that person [...]" still needs to happen, I think he is building up to that.

So, think of a fight between two persons, which Oda said:

- is utmost surprising to us.
- will lead to an unexpected outcome.
- will happen before or in chapter 1108.

...

Lucci vs. Kizaru. :catblush:

seem like if there any candidate Lucci would be the one.

I don't think that it's the RA, since we have not seen them moving after Kuma. But surprises happen.

What bugs me is how Oda phrased the following: "We failed to neutralize that escaping vessel..." Why did Oda not use the word `ship´? Why use `vessel´ as noun to describe, what the marine soldiers saw? This leads me to believe that this someone, who attacked them, used maybe not a regular ship, but something else as a means for transportation. And if you think of the possibilities offered to us, it could be anything from a normal ship to a Vegatank (if it swims), or another vihicle, we have not seen, yet. And maybe Vegapunk had build it and the soldiers were not able to come up with a name for it, because they have never seen something like it before.

A betrayal by Kizaru leaves him jobless, hopium pilled, and if Dragon is half the tactician he claims to be, barred entry from the RA at this point. The Straw Hats in comparison, have 2 ex enemies onboard (albeit neither ever came close to killing them).
 
It's true that Yamato wanted to free Wano, but she also wanted to go to the sea - both as a child and as an adult. And Oda does not let it happen. For now.
Because that's what Oden did to become free. Remember that Yamato first experienced life through Oden's and therefore imagine the sea being the salvation of her situation. Its not the case anymore.


The subtext screamed stay and not a Strawhat.
No, not really. Even in the subtext, Oda showed us that Yamato wouldn't stay.


She herself chose Wano over the sea, the exact opposite as Oden.
Indeed. At last someone understands that.

The point of the end of Wano is that the character will take a completely different approach that Oden did.

Oden was irresponsible and didn't rely on his friends to help him. THis is the reason why he lost. Oda through Luffy, Momo and Yamato showed that to succeed, the characters actually needed to think the opposite way:
- Momo decided to maintain the border instead of opening the country which saved Wano
- Yamato decided to stay on Wano to help protect it instead of following her wish to go at sea
- Luffy relied on his friend instead of carrying (litterally) the burden on his own.

This alliance is the reason why Kaido failed. The fact that freedom can only be achieve by relying on others to help you and taking responsibilities.
 
I mean she literally admitted she had to lie to get him to let her stay, so yeah he doesn't realize it. Next cover story could be Yamato trying to find a purpose in Wano like she said she would and coming up short, then Momo finds out and sends her away to follow her dreams, she follows the path Kid took to chatch up with Luffy, and then she's waiting for them on Elbaf when they get there.
Yamato has zero sailing experience. No way Yamato can go out to sea without companions similar to Oden leaving Wano. Maybe Yamato can join the next crew that visits Wano...that would make an interesting cover story.

Lucci vs. Kizaru. :catblush:
That would be very surprising. Will we see Lucci turn face after being a heel up until now? Not counting on it but whatever happens may be epic!

Other battles that may be expected:
Sanji vs Saturn (WG most feared!?)
Sanji vs Kizaru (who is the fastest!?)
Sanji vs Lucci (keep up w/ Zoro)
Jinbe vs Lucci (Who's Who comparison)
Vegapunk vs Saturn (Ancient Robot)
...

Battles that would be surprising:
Kizaru vs Saturn (#kizarunakamatrain)
Usopp vs Saturn (God Usopp)
Marco vs Kizaru 2 (Marco Ms Bakkin)
Stussy vs Stussy (Marco Ms Bakkin)
Caribou vs Kizaru (Swamp Prison?)
Caribou vs Saturn (Swamp Prison?)
Smoker vs Kizaru (Hazy Justice)
Smoker vs Saturn (Hazy Justice)
...

Epic:
Blackbeard vs Kizaru (Dark vs Light)
Luffy vs Blackbeard (Teaser Final Battle)
Luffy vs Shanks (Long awaited meeting)
...


Lucci dream matches:
Who's Who vs Lucci (Cipher Pol Top Cat)
Pedro vs Lucci (Jaguar vs Leopard)
 
Yamato has zero sailing experience. No way Yamato can go out to sea without companions similar to Oden leaving Wano. Maybe Yamato can join the next crew that visits Wano...that would make an interesting cover story.
Oh no, a death nail! Oda couldn't possibly figure out how to get Yamato to the next island since she is not an experienced sailor! She can't learn enough for one small trip, and it's impossible to hitch a ride with someone or have someone drop her off there. It's also impossible for Momo to fly her there. Oda has written himself into a corner if he wanted Yamato to join.

From the options you have listed her, which do you think Oda means by "[...] a fight between that person adn that person [...]"?

:lawsigh::lawsigh::lawsigh:
Not to mention she has Ice DF powers no? She could just Aokiji herself across the Sea. kek

Yamato is a novice sailor. Last experience would have been 20 years ago when Yamato was 8. A small trip alone could mean death out in the sea for a beginner.

What is stated is Yamato will need help to sail in a ship. It's not a death nail but unless Yamato solos it via DF powers quoted below, then Yamato has to wait for an outsider of Wano to hitch a ride with or get someone(s) in Wano to travel with Yamato who shares a similar dream. Yamato and Tama pirate crew!...wait still wouldn't work as both are novice sailors.

List the possible people taking Yamato out of Wano to sea. Or how is Yamato getting out of Wano?

Not many viable options as most people in Wano are not sailors. Beast Pirates. Kin'emon. Momonosuke. The Minks...Carrot! She has experience, future Queen, and got a taste for adventure.

Captain Carrot
Vice Captain Wanda
Ship Guard Yamato
Apprentice Tama
Combatant Kiku
Nurse Milky
...

Find a cook, shipwright, and helmsman then they can go out to sea to deliver Yamato and a barrel to the Strawhats.

None.

Luffy vs Saturn. It's the battle that needs to happen to put Luffy up another tier in infamy.

Maybe Sanji vs ... but not sure Oda wants to bump Sanji up this arc anymore after being unfazed from a S-Shark punch to the face.
Not to mention she has Ice DF powers no? She could just Aokiji herself across the Sea. kek
That isn't really sailing though. Defeats the whole purpose of Yamato going out to sea.

If she's just going to catch up with Luffy and sailing with him, I'm sure she can figure out how to sail to one island. It's not like the strawhats had any trouble on the way there. And why exactly does it have to count as sailing? It's just to catch up with Luffy. This is the most obvious gate keeping on worstgen. Just say you don't want Yamato to join instead of making up dumbass rules.

The Strawhats were a crew that went through many obstacles in the New World before they got to Wano. They had each other when it was tough. What if Yamato got sick or poisoned? What food is safe too eat?? Where is Yamato sleeping???

I am asking how. You state it is gatekeepering because you can not find the logic that makes sense for how Yamato the novice sailor figures out a way to skate they're way to Elbaf, the assumed next location after Egghead.

Does Yamato know how to read a log pose? At least have Luffy's vivre card?? I would lean Yamato getting lost in the world before finding where the Strawhats will be next.
Sailing on a ship is not the same as skating on ice

She could just not get sick or poisoned? This is fiction. Oda can just write it so nothing bad happens. She can just bring food for the trip or not eat like she did in Wano, and no storms happen to bother her, she just follows the log pose to egghead. It's really not complicated. You're just trying to invent problems.

Where are ppl getting that Lucci has any inclination to join the crew? is this a resurgence of ppl who wanted him in Water 7 before his reveal as CP9 because he's had no signs of wanting to be a pirate or joining Luffy
