Love or hate her Linlin has lots of ties to elbaf and potential stakes in returning. There’s coincidentally a good chance a lot of her prior enemies also end up all arriving at elbaf too
Obviously Loki and the giants who live there. Her fucking up her relationships with all of them
Obviously luffy and the strawhats who are already there
Potentially the holy knights as well if some of them end up being tied to mother Carmel and the other kids in the “orphanage”
Along with luffy I think there’s a pretty high probability we get all the worst generation coming to elbaf
- Luffy again obviously
- Zoro is here
- Bonney is here already and has similarities to Linlin
- Kid was defeated at the coast of elbaf so he’s likely near. Kid and her already having beef
- Killer is with kid
- Law might have been brought to elbaf by bepo. He also fought her in wano
- Capone was apart of her crew fucked her over and is with Lola
- Urouge is definitely coming to elbaf imo plus he defeated snack
- Blackbeard is an opportunist. His crew attacked tottoland stole pudding. Plus he might be seen as the sun god of destruction in elbaf
- Hawkins I just think he’ll help law
- Drake honestly same with Hawkins but sword could just potentially show up in general
- Apoo imo is going to weirdly enough help kid. Also he tried to invade tottoland too
There’s also the chance Neo mads comes to Elbaf for whatever reason and reunites with vegapunk imo. Both Caesar and Judge already have a negative relationship with Linlin too
If the wci team is getting back together I think we’re also gonna need to see the sun pirates. They have bad relations with big mom, they might know sun god lore, and the giants want to see more fishmen
Is that arguably too many characters? Maybe but knowing oda there’s probably gonna be even more lol. The revolutionary army honestly has a good shot at showing up too
