Idk if I’m even for it but do you think it’s possible for the crew to temporarily split up again?
Pre timeskip the crew spit up because they were too weak and weren’t ready for the new world. What if this time they spit up again just to split responsibility before reuniting again

With it either being luffy zoro and sanji each getting a group each getting a group where they’re the protectors or just zoro and sanji with luffy going solo. Why would luffy go solo? It’s the luffy show and it allows him to temporarily join a different group similar to the marineford saga
Maybe the reason it happens is because they either go after the ancient weapons after learning their necessity or “their girls”

Imo after elbaf Blackbeard will be luffy next major opponent. So both of them splitting the up their crews for the same reason could be fitting
For example
- Zoro reunites with hiyori (wano) and king (beast pirate) maybe to end up fighting shiryu
- Sanji reunites with pudding (big mom pirate) and maybe mads (family) to end up fighting laffitte
- Luffy obviously fighting Blackbeard maybe reuniting with Hancock (Amazon lily possibly tied to origins) and kuma/weevil (buccaneers)
