General & Others Should the Strawhats stay in Elbaph for a bit after the arc is over?

[Dettles]

Do you think that the Strawhats should spend a bit of time actually training in Elbaph after the arc is over? Like a month or two, enough time for Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji to fully control their CoC with Training from Scopper and Loki. And the rest to actually learn haki finally?
Plus it would give a bit more time for Blackbeard and the marines to get their plans in motion.

Hmm idk Oda announced a race for the One Piece so every day should count towards finding the treasure.
Spending a month somewhere while others are making moves would be kinda stupid

The Strawhats already have an advantage with three of the Red Poneglyphs. Which the Marines and Blackbeard don't have. Plus everyone needs to find the Man Marked by Flames. It would also be stupid for the crew to be unprepared for the Fights ahead

I want them to stay so we get a good rest of the world catchup, unlike what we got at Egghead.

I don’t care about training, it’s not something Oda is good at writing, we’re basically getting that with the Elbaf fights anyway and I’d rather have some good fun character interactions and lore drops.

Luffy's training in Wano was pretty good. Better than Naruto learning Summoning Jutsu and Wind Style training.

 

[Goofball_Your_Nika]

No.
That rat Caribou is going to snitch to Blackbeard about Pluton in Wano and the Mermaid Princess.

 

[NotTommy]

I'd be happy with that. Let everyone else make moves and once the crew leaves, it'll be immediate action.

 

[Levi]

Yes let’s go look at cross guild, bb crew or shanks or hell even mr.east doing something besides well yk.

 

[milluki]

they should hurry to new marienford to save barto and law form execution

 

[ShinichiMugi]

Well,the narrator at the beginning said to dont spend too much time there,so it seems its probably better not to.
Also,Luffy may learn about Vivi with Morgans or Garp with Blackbeard and could want to take Vivi with him/save Garp

Currently, that's become a throwaway line, since neither Oda nor any characters have addressed it.

And fans expect some sort of time dilation that lets the outside world move faster than Elbaf (which wouldn't really make sense/wouldn't fit the timeline with Harald's and Shanks' actions in the past, but whatever), that will make the other contenders for the OP get closer to Lodestar than the SHs.

But what if whatever Arnaud referred to will not affect the SHs, but IMU. What if IMU is already weakened when he transforms away from MJ (hence him spitting blood) and his weakness gets an incremental increase on Elbaf specifically?

Oda could use this x10 nerf to justify why the King of the World falls here to Nika and Loki alone, while he reigned undisturbed for 800 years.

 

[Garps tekkai]

That "come see me, before leaving Elbaf" line from Scopper makes it seem like they will practically be guided to loadstar directly.

So I think when the fights are done, they will set sail to loadstar and that is when we get the updates from all the other parties for multiple chapters (CG, Sengoku, Blackbeard pirates, Revos, Vivi..)
