Questions & Mysteries Why do you think Oda is currently going with focus the Original Trio

[bennbeckman]

Question in post

Bring it up because this is the first time I've seen this since forever with an arc starting with just Luffy, Zoro, Nami

 

[Natalija]

I’ve been thinking about this myself. My guess is something important is going to happen to Luffy personally. And he needs his bffs there as support.

 

[HellBlazer04]

Where's the focus on them?
It's just the most basic interaction those 3 can have after lacking of any decent moment for the past 15 years.
Am I supposed to get excited about this?

Nothing's gonna come out of it. Don't hope for anything else

Oda will give Loki a moment as good as THAT PANEL

 

[Albino 👑]

Nami knows of Loki from Lola and has good powers to free him
Zoro usually is involved in combat related things
Luffy is the main character

There’s a chance Sanji arrives if nami screams tbh but idk. That group is probably going to reunite with gaban/shiki before they go back down if they do

 

[Phoenix D. King]

they are meeting shamrock for a quick gag

 

[JDragon20]

Only reason Nami is there is to mention Lola.

 

[Sir Yasheen]

Nami needs to meet Loki due to the Lola connection imo

Zoro we will see his influence, my assumption is that he’ll end up doing something in the underworld as the king of hell

Only reason Nami is there is to mention Lola.

A combination of these two, Nami conversation with Loki will be important later.

Luffy says “huh, shanks?!”
*Shamrock slash*
*Zoro dash*
*Nami shouts*
*Sanji dash*
*Gunko smash*
*Road uses key*
*Loki is free*
Break next week

Oda is probably just doing some tributes to old groups prior to Robin (probably picked her as a cutoff due to Saul and most of those groupings disappeared upon joining): Nami and Usopp, the classic M3, East Blue Quintet, X Mark SHs...

The OG Trio is the only one left to be revived... And when was the last time this trio was relevant? IIRC, during the BB meeting... So whoever they will encounter along the way might be as significant as BB to the grand scheme of things or in the storyline at least...

 

[kyejames316]

These three are the ones who like to cause most trouble, that’s all. No one else would be on board with the idea

 

[matt245]

Sanji dash

What?

They’re the triggers of One Piece

 

[DavyJones]

Likely to be a crew arc considering the signs so far. At least I'm hoping it is because I was already disappointed by Shamrock.

Robin had a whole thing with Saul, and Franky's setting up to have a whole thing with Vegapunk.

 

[kyejames316]

What?

When Nami gets stabbed by Gunko Sanji will come running
That’s what I meant
But spoilers are out and I retract this
