News MAJOR news on One Piece story future from Oda from Jump Festa 2026
- Thread starter Kizaruber Eats
- Start date
I see alot of hype for Lodestar.
I personally think that the Strawhats won't go there because of this panel.
But I can see the narrative making a detour over to Lodestar, because this might be the island where Buggy and Cross Guild will arrive, in order to learn about the road to Lough Tale. Just remember they, are the ones who practically start from scratch, no Road Poneglyphs, no translator.
I think the Strawhats will just continue their adventures (maybe into the sky), where we will get a smaller arc with Urouge, before we will race to Lough Tale.
Also when Oda said that two people will face each other, that haven't faced each other before, I immediately had to think about Usopp and Yasopp or Luffy or Dragon.
Oda just is biased towards family related stories, so I think that would be more of Oda's nature.
So what may happen after the flashback imho?
Route A:
-We make a detour like in Egghead, focussing around Cross Guild and Lodestar maybe, with side events like another Impel Down breakout or Teach making moves. (maybe 10 chaps at max).
-Then we go back to Elbaf and close it out before going to the sky (maybe 25-30 chaps)
Route B:
literally Route A just reversed.
But yeah one of my main arguments is a) the panel above, and the headcanon of mine that Urouge's story arc has to happen before Lough Tale.
