Broadcast was gonna end up midway, no way Oda bringing Gorosei all the way to Egghead to fail at their primary mission and the biggest reveals are not taking place before OP is found.
Smoker finally making his appearance, lets hope its better than PH.
Why does Venus know about Zoro's Kitetsu, it was made by Sukiyaki in Wano and then it got to East Blue (probably via Zoros grandma group) so where does Venus fit in the story to recognize Sandai?
Stop with the sky split speculation and wishes, Oda did not let Luffy have a sky split this arc even though he has been fighting Gorosei for so long. And since WB and Roger clash I think we wont get another sky split unless we are shown that both users are using ACoC indicated by the black trail on hand/weapon before the attack is launched.
This might not be a full fight and it would seem very out of place for the Gorosei to be defeated in the same arc where they are introduced as fighters to the SHPs midway through the arc. The real fight will be settled in Elbaf or whatever the next destination is.
The question is what will Zoro need to beat Venus? Obviously Venus is the Mr.1, King caliber Zoro opponent. His regen will not be the main issue (all the other 4 also have it) but it will be something unique only to Venus. But in the end this will again only be a stepping stone for Mihawk fight.
