General & Others Elbaf training

#1

Could elbaf be used as a second “timeskip”


We know something weird is going on with elbaf
It likely having to do with how time is perceived. Giants living 3x longer and 3 days for them feeling like 1 might fuck with everyone perception of time on the island. 3 weeks there only feeling like 1

It giving everyone else in the outside world time to get stronger and set things up like bb being an official part of the government


The training might not even be on purpose tbh but either way they have a lot of opportunities to get stronger. They could be there what feels like 3 weeks but ends up being 9. Especially with vegapunk on the island they all have opportunities to get stronger

  1. Luffy: can likely train under Gaban like he did with Rayleigh. Maybe the goal this time to be able to defeat Loki. To parallel is rusukaina
  2. Zoro: maybe turning sandai to a devil fruit sword. While I don’t think zoro train under Shamrock he could be inspired if they fight. If mihawk was actually a holy knight in the past even cooler connection
  3. Nami: with all the weather tech vegapunk has + the gods realm there’s definitely something she could get
  4. Usopp: add vegapunk tech + there’s probably some interesting botany stuff he can add to his arsenal from elbaf. Also hammer
  5. Sanji: new raid suit that never happened + maybe cooking for giants + luffy + Bonney will make him an even better chef
  6. Chopper: he’s already learning more about elbaf medicine + maybe if his fruit is special he finds out the actual model
  7. Robin: she could pick up some elbaf technique for her giant self + awakening would be dope
  8. Franky: Adam wood + vegapunk = Franky greatness
  9. Brook: some underworld shit would be awesome. Maybe he learns to use the summonings and then some
  10. Jinbe: he’s old but maybe perfected version of the fmi drugs

Idk about a time skip but I’d enjoy a small training arc while the HKs regroup for their invasion
Yeah I don’t think they’d purposely stay a long time to train but them getting power ups and not realizing how much time passed outside Elbaf could be interesting imo
Zoro and his fox ties


Zoro’s name is zoro
Fox is Spanish is zorro 🦊

Ushimaru a relative of zoro had a fox companion


Can now add Firefox style to his swordsmanship


Lend me some chakra kurama
Might be a bit of a reach but the 9 tailed fox aka kitsune is a very famous mythical fox and zoro can tap into 9 sword style at times. So there being a connection could be cool


Not as concrete but zoro imo kinda parallels Yamato. Similar to how I think sanji kinda parallels king



Does zoro actually have special fox eyes or even special eyes? Idk man
He does seemingly have ties to foxes tho
Also zoro getting a fox sword would be dope as hell
:pepebusi:

Luffy - Training by Scopper
Nami - Sunstone
Franky - Adam Wood Mech using the sunny
Robin - Saul’s fighting style for her giant forms

Those four I feel confident are getting power ups.

Sanji will learn how to conceal his presence from Observation haki users so that when he is invisible in his speed form, he won’t be able to sensed. Gaban should be a good teacher given he’s probably maxed out CoO. Also hopefully we get Sanji blooming FS as well.

May also get some Power of Love upgrades.

He already does that tho? A big portion of his timeskip training involved hiding from proficient CoO users.

Just a few weeks would do wonders for a lot of the crew. The haki users can get decent boosts and some of the non-haki users can develop haki (unless Oda just doesn't want them using it for some reason, wouldn't be surprised if some either never get it).

Luffy perhaps realizing he needs to extend his time in G5 would be nice. That time limit gradually improving before he faces Teach would be great. Maybe Scopper can help with that and maybe Loki and Shamrock can further expose that flaw in a way that leads to Luffy seriously striving to fix it while still doing well in battle. The limit's pretty repetitive. I expect Zoro to get a decent fight. More practice for his attacks, I don't really think he's dying for improvement, but he always hones his skills through personal training and combat so those. Could be a crucial arc for Sanji given Gaban's hype. If Gaban has Future Sight, I'd love to see Sanji develop it through intense training of his observation haki and/or through battle. More of the Power of Love is always welcome, now he has a legendary parallel with that theme in common.

Jimbei's kinda like Zoro, I don't see where he needs big improvements, I expect him to just help out when the fights start going. Franky developing haki from training with the giants and creating some new high-tech weapons would be great. Taking some of the Adam Tree wood behind Saul's back wouldn't be too bad (he's a pirate and I doubt taking some would affect much).

Usopp is really in dire need of improvement. Dorry and Broggy need to give him some armament haki training and maybe he can hone his observation haki in battle and training. Nami has Zeus and she seems like an intentional glass cannon, so maybe observation haki if Oda cares, but a homie is incredible so more showings with it would be great. She should play the support role she had on Whole Cake Island but amped up considering she's had Zeus for a while now.

With Brook and Robin I don't expect much, it'd be cool if we saw them help out in the fights but who knows. Haki? I don't see it happening this arc, but they already have cool fruits so more of them fighting would be nice. I hope Oda proves me wrong.

Ultimately, there's a lot of Straw Hats, but I could see Oda just having some get training where there's focus placed on it and the rest just get boosts off-panel that are referenced later (like Franky busting out new tech as time goes on). I would expect the haki users to get the most focus.

Who needs weeks of training when there are 9 Gods Knights to extreme diff to get all that exp in one afternoon
:goyea:
