Future Events Elbaf arc: Red Hair Pirates vs Straw Hats in a Davy back fight!
- Thread starter NAMELESS
- Start date
This is EXACTLY what I want and have predicted and discussed with my friends before too. I'm definitely completely on board with this!
This would be as close to perfect as the story could be for me with these topics, it would be the legit most amazing arc of OP imo. It would really encompass the spirit, the adventure, the fun of OP it had from the beginning. With Oda giving us more lore on the Davy Back Fights with the reveal of Beehive Island being the origin of DBFs and thus the OP equivalent of Tortuga and Portal Royal (lol Portal, I've been playing way too much Portal lately!
) I mean Port Royal, I am absolutely loving the potential of where this can go and how suddenly much more important and canonical Foxy's arc has and will become.
It's similar to how I had to argue with idiots who called Skypeia and Thriller Bark "filler arcs" and said to skip them as they're "irrelevant to the story/lore".
I think Xebec even formed his crew through Davy Back Fights and this is part of the reason why they had such chaotic chemistry and didn't get along so well supposedly, why they were so turbulent as a crew. Not just their egos ofc but how and why they were formed. I also think Xebec probably had the most CoC users in a crew, which would make complete sense imo, but Luffy might just challenge that amount and thus will most likely surpass it too. (But I was to go completely crazy, I would be giving half the SHs CoC at least or even all of them maybe somehow LOL!)
Since the RHP seem to be just a regular (but extremely strong and tightly knit) crew with no fleet by the looks of it, it would be extremely fitting to set up those Enies Lobby style fights as you said and give both crews the shine they deserve, especially individually.
I would really like Zoro to face Shanks and see how the rival of the WGS fares by comparison, especially due to losing his arm and yet becoming a Yonko despite that. It would make Mihawk seem all the more silly and ironic for refusing to duel Shanks depending on that then. I can see why Mihawk would refuse to duel Shanks but I don't necessarily agree with it either.
But also more importantly, I would love Mihawk to show up with Shanks again and maybe even declare himself an official ally of Shanks, especially after losing his Warlord status and ironically being the hunted one now., by the WG and Marines ofc.
And thus as you said, it would be the perfect opportunity for Zoro vs Mihawk, imagine Zoro rocking up to Mihawk and telling him he took on 2 Yonkos, tanked their combo attack and is still here completely fine to tell him all about it!? And Luffy also gets to tell Shanks he took on those 2 Yonkos and won leading to both Enel faces from Shanks and Mihawk simultaneously?! LMAO
I also do worry that not only Shanks has death flags but also Mihawk. I think Yasopp should and will die though. I also think Garp will die sooner or later before the story ends. But man, I do fear that Shiryu will get a cheap kill on Mihawk somehow and thus Blackbeard will get one on Shanks too. Proper dirty pirate style murders/executions like he and his crew did to Whitebeard too. Mihawk's and Shanks' honourable natures might be used against them here somehow. The RHP may have to make a final stand against the BB pirates to let the SHs escape and go to Laugh Tale too, to buy them time as well.
Completely agree with what you said anyway man, great post! @NAMELESS

--and finally, the top of the highest mountain in the world, even surpassing Red Line or Sky Islands. At the top of that mountain is a peaceful meadow, perfect for Luffy vs Shanks aerial Conqueror battle! The decisive battle to be the one with the most freedom! It'll be soo fun and satisfying.
...that being said, the plot of OP is getting way too serious now so actually i doubt that the Strawhats will ever have a fun arc after Wano. I suspect it'll be full of wars and politics. But i do hope it happens. If it doesn't happen, how do you say we make it happen in a fanfic eh?
I just want a legitimate microcosm of one piece like Skypeia was for the shanks arc.
A race to a beloved treasure.
If they just put the straw hat at the middle of an uninhabited island and let it be a race between the red haired and Straw Hat Pirates.
This way it’s testing the whole crew, it allows Usopp and Yassop to have a sniping match to debilitate one another’s ships and slow it down, it allows Nami to showcase her skill as a navigator to find the ultimate quick path to the island, it allows Franky to show off his skill as a Shipwright through the power of his ship, it allows Jinbe to show his skill as a helmsmen by controlling the ship on the I’m assuming super stormy seas.
Then when they land they can show their combat abilities against the red haired pirates and their willingness to push their captain to his treasure where Luffy will fight Shanks.

What Elbaf by itself has to offer:Giants,Last Road Poneglyph,lore about Big Mom,lore about Roger,fulfilling Ussop's wish to visit Elbaf,Luffy gains the giants friendship for EOS war,more stuff about void century and D. clan!
How Shanks prensence in Elbaf improves the story:shortens the manga(because Oda wont need to dedicate an arc just to Shanks),Luffy returns straw hat moment,Ussop meets Yassop,Davy back fight,Luffy-Zoro-Ussop vs Shanks-Mihawk-Yassop,Funny moments and Epic fights!
So Shanks being in Wano would add a lot to an Arc that potentially is just a Zou type of Arc without red hair pirates presence there!
Right now,i see post-skip One Piece like this:
Fishman island,Punk Hazard,Dressrosa,Zou,Whole Cake Island=Set up for Wano(BM+Kaido downfall)!
Elbaf,Last island and Laught Tale=Setup for Black Beard conflict!
Post Pirate King Luffy events=Setup for final war!

We like to think that Elbaf will be a short arc,but the truth is Oda will actually develop the country like he did with Wano and maybe even more. Lets remember that he loves vikings and actually started to like pirates because of the vikings. Elbaf has a viking theme so i think it will be a long arc,and there will be a lot of characters like Prince Loki and probably other characters from the Norse mythology. There will also be a return of characters appeared in the past like Hardujin,Gert and that giant guy in Sabaody. So kinda like it happened with Izou in Wano. Lets expect a very long arc. Hopefully there will be a better villain than Kaido though! Because right now for me Kaido is one of the worst element of Wano. I am sorry but Oda is waiting too long to start to show us his flashback and motivations.
Now that i think about it,BB might use this opportunity to Kidnap Robin and kill Shanks too!
I just had this thought!
Straw hats challenge red hair pirates to a Davy Back Fight,but Luffy vs Shanks-Zoro vs Mihawk-Ussop vs Yassop will be duels outside of the dbf!
Luffy to keep his straw hat and become a great pirate captain!
Zoro to become the World's strongest Swordsman!
Ussop to finally become a brave warrior of the sea and best marksman in the World!

Why would Elbaf be a mini arc when it's a place that both Luffy and Usopp wants to visit and that this is one of the top places hyped since their entrance to the Grand Line?
Anyway, the problem with DBF taking place:
vs. RHP = there will be less tension
in Elbaf = focus with the Elbaf giants would be taken away

Some People think it will be just like Zou,visit last poneglyph and go to last island in the grand line and then Laught tale!
Nahh,it needs to be like the real dbf of pre time skip,fun arc before Enies Lobbys(shit hits the fan)!Last arcs of One Piece will be pure action,drama and tension!
The happy ending arc could be the remaining straw hats realizing their dreams,etc...
I also think Luffy will die while sailing with the Sunny after Eos war!Oda said one piece will kinda have a sad ending!
