Hes coming back in Elbaf.
Not sure how people read this and think he isn't coming back and going crazy.
Why would oda even draw a panel like this?
And I'm actually willing to bet, when he comes back, he'll never lose another fight again. Even if he fights Luffy, at worst it will be a stalemate/or third party interruption. If he meets Shanks again, an admiral, another top tier 1v1, he'll win.
His most recent feat was defeating a yonko with zero haki. What going to happen when he starts using acoc?
