Yeah, my bets on matchups so far:
- Nami/Usopp vs. Ulti/P1 (with the potential of Chopper switching with Usopp and Usopp fighting someone like Orochi or Kanjuro or something)
- Yamato vs. Black Maria (the way the scene plays out, it almost seems like she's running towards her)
- Franky vs. Sasaki
- Carrot/Wanda vs. Perospero
- Marco vs. Big Mom (until the BMP arrive, then things will get a bit more chaotic)
- Killer vs. Who's Who
- Robin vs. Fukurokuju
- Brook vs. Hotei
- Jinbe vs. Jack
- Zoro/Sanji vs. King/Queen
- Luffy, Kid, Law, and Drake vs. Kaido (after the Scabbards lose). Potentially Kid and Law's subordinates have their moments too against fodder.
I will make a (small) argument for Zoro vs. Queen however. The way Oda set up Zoro and Killer, it almost feels like they will pair up or have their moment in the future. If Killer does end up fighting Who's Who, Queen and Who's Who are now known to sort of known as a duo considering what they did to Drake. I could totally see Zoro and Killer fighting Queen and Who's Who in a semi tagteam matchup.
IF the BMP actually join in these battles however, then all bets are off and I have no idea what the matchups are going to be, because right there you add in Smoothie, Campote, Daifuku, Snack, Amande and quite a few other potentially dangerous pirates into the mix. By that point, we'd need further allies to come in and join the battles. Hopefully this would leave the potential for the former Whitebeard pirates to come in and fight too. To have Joz, Vista, and the other commanders have some big moments this arc in dealing with the BM pirates would be fantastic.
Hopefully Marco reached out to them/sent them all a message.
