Future Events From Egghead to Laugh Tale

[Johnny B. Decent]

With our four-week hiatus upon us, we need something to discuss, and with One Piece in the endgame, you have to figure, there shouldn't be too many arcs left. After all, the Straw Hats have 3 of the 4 items needed to find Laugh Tale.

So, what is all from Egghead to Laugh Tale, and beyond that?

1. Finding the Man with the Burn Scars.
**So, there's a mysterious ship that sinks any who approaches that allegedly carries the lost Road Poneglyph, and may be an associate of the WG. Finding this ship and getting a rubbing means the crew will have all they need to make the map to Laugh Tale, but the trick is finding where this guy is. Could Vegapunk have a lead on him?

2. Elbaf
**As both where Usopp's dream is to go there and where Saul and all the books of Ohara are hidden for Robin, it's now a given they're going there. And hey, Dorry and Brogy are there, as well. So far, it seems like everything will be a smooth journey there.....but could Kidd seeking revenge on the two giants cause a whole lot of problems there?

3. The World-Shaking news of Imu's existence.
**With a guy like Morganz knowing such a hot scoop, it's just a matter of when he's going to report it. And when he does, things are *really* going to get crazy. But what will Vivi do? Seek out the Revolutionaries...or the Straw Hats?

And speaking of the Revolutionary Army, a showdown between them and the Holy Knights is all but inevitable.

So, what else will happen between here and the Penultimate end where we finally go to Laugh Tale? And of course....what happens afterwords. Obviously, I left a few things out for us to debate here. Like say Shanks VS Teach, for example. Or the Cross Guild's future impact.

Egghead > Elbaf > Laughtale and battle against the others yonko for the OP > Marijoa and final war > The end

Lodestar? My only doubt.

Laugh Tale (Fight for One Piece against Buggy , Shanks and Blackbeard ) ------> Final War (King of Pirates against WG&Marines)

Luffy can enter final war as king of pirates . Thus , he can gather all of pirates under his fleet to defeat most dangerous threat in the world.

 

[Johnny B. Decent]

Egghead > Elbaf > Laughtale and battle against the others yonko for the OP > Marijoa and final war > The end

Lodestar? My only doubt.

Lodestar is interesting as they don't really necessarily have to go there, but apparently, there is some useful info there, I believe, so maybe.

I also wonder if they will finally encounter Dragon when the big fight between them and Mariejois' forces happen.

 

[Paperchampion23]

If we are going to Elbaf, then we should also be going to wherever Law was heading before he was forced to land at Winner Island, because its clear then that Luffy is directly behind Kid's route. That location probably will have something to do witht the 4th RP. Lodestar technically doesnt need to be visited, but theres no way Oda doesnt show the milestone.

At minimum imo:
- Egghead
- Elbaf
- Law's Destination
- Lodestar
- Laugh Tale

There "could" be some other islands, but who knows.

 

[Kyou]

After Egghead we go to BB
Then Elbaf
Laugh after
FW then end of one piece
Maybe we get TS to see shs doing what's next

Like all other mangas do

 

[strawhatcrew]

egghead>elbaf>hachinosu>laughtale>wano>fishmen island>marijoa
will meet law at elbaf
fight bb at hachinosu
fight cross guild enroute to laughtale
fight shanks(davy back fight??)before laughtale
find one piece at laughtale(luffy journey to pirate king finish)
going back to wano and fishmen island to pickup ancient weapon
final war at marijoa

 

[Sir Yasheen]

Egghead -> Elbaf -> Lodestar -> Raftel -> Mariejoa

Egghead - Defeat an Admiral and a Gorosei. Putting the final straw that broke the tension between the straw hats and the world government. With the straw hat pirates being responsible for the assault (and possible murder) of a CD already, his bounty poster still having a D, and the awakening of Nika, the WG will need to start taking an active role in the fall of the Straw Hats.

Elbaf - The fight against the Gorosei and holy knights. Rather than create new minor arc villains this seems like the proper arc to actually have a fight between the WG and the Straw Hats. With the reveal that the Gorosei are known as Warrior Gods, that’s very remniscent of the titles of the Norse Aesir, the enemies of the giants. I also believe this will be where Luffy and Sabo will reunite as Sabo doesn’t seem the type to ignore the dying wish of a respectable man such as Kobra and Sabo will sail with Luffy until they find Vivi so Sabo can complete this wish. And will be where Luffy acquires the fourth Poneglyph. Will also likely be when the Grand Fleet reunite.

Lodestar - The fight against Blackbeard. I first thought this fight would happen on Raftel, but after seeing Blackbeards way of doing things, he genuinely seems more the type to sit on Lodestar, and wait for those with the Poneglyphs to fall into his lap.

Raftel - I feel this will be a flashback arc about joyboy and the void century. Will be the beginning of the final arc which will have all the straw hats accomplish their dreams ending. And they begin to recircle the world until they arrive at Mariejoa. And they’ll likely see Zou and reunite with Law after this

Mariejoa - Final fight leading to the destruction of Mariejoa, Fishman Island, and possibly the entire red line.

Just want to point out that Stussy might be the key in knowing where the Burned Man is. She's not only CP0 (and thus can explain hes a WG employee if he is) or if he has any connections to the underworld.

I have this funny feeling that Oda is truly copying the literal number of destinations from Paradise to New World, in a way to maintain consistency on geography even if some dont have Logs:

- Reverse Mountain = Fishman Island
- Whiskey Peak = Punk Hazard
- Little Garden = Dressrosa
- Drum = Zou
- Alabasta = WCI
- Jaya = Wano
- Skypiea = Egghead
- LRLL = ?
- Water 7 = ?
- Enies Lobby = ?
- Thriller Bark = ?
- Sabaody = ?
- Amazon Lily = ?
- Impel Down = ?
- Marineford = ?

Funny enough, if you consider Kid and Law's destinations, Lodestar and Laugh Tale, that completes the book to Sabaody, which is the end of Paradise.

For things "outside" of the adventure, if you include God Valley (regardless if its Uranus or not, I personally think it exists still), New Marineford, and Mariejois, then it completes equal locations.

To complete the list:

- Reverse Mountain = Fishman Island
- Whiskey Peak = Punk Hazard
- Little Garden = Dressrosa
- Drum = Zou
- Alabasta = WCI
- Jaya = Wano
- Skypiea = Egghead
- LRLL = Fullalead/Underworld
- Water 7 = Elbaf
- Enies Lobby = Law's Destination (Underworld? Burned Man 4th RP?)
- Thriller Bark = Lodestar
- Sabaody = Laugh Tale
- Amazon Lily = New Marineford
- Impel Down = Mariejois
- Marineford = God Valley

Not exactly in that order and does not consider some islands will be 20-30 chapters potentially if they are lore driven.

Anyway, random thought lol.

 

[Herrera95]

Nothing to do in Elbaf. Forget that island.

Only The Man Burned by Flames and Lodestar are a must right now.

I do not understand your hate boner for this island lol

Oda has continuously hid the island from full reveal since Whole Cake Island. He casually avoided showing it for 3 chapters when Kid was there.

We are absolutely going to Elbaf lmao

I don't hate. Just don't see any reason to go there. Such irrelevant island. Forget Elbaf.

 

[Paperchampion23]

I don't hate. Just don't see any reason to go there. Such irrelevant island. Forget Elbaf.

Whether or not you think its irrelevant has nothing to do with anything.

Read the manga and ask yourself why Oda is hiding its design? Why did he have Dorry/Broggy/Oimo/Kaashi/Stansen all separately tell the crew they'll meet again Elbaf? Usopp's goals? Why did Oda imply Saul is alive there? That Ohara's books are there as well?

"Irrelevant" lmao.

I like the idea, but I think is unlikely

Lodestar, Laugh Tale and Marie Geoise is 100% sure it will happen
Elbaf its very likely to happen
I would enjoy an arc focused on underworld (but I think its unlikely)

I agree. At minumum i think Elbaf, Law's original destination (we need some location for the 4th RP at least), Lodestar and Laugh Tale are purposeful.

The rest just comes down to what settings he wants to do before the end. Fullalead or Underworld locations are not exactly important even if they still have unfinished roles. Fullalead's specifically can be done without us going there.

"Irrelevant" lmao.

If I think it is irrelevant it has everything to do with it. There is no point in visiting irrelevants islands.

Oda hides a bunch of designs that are irrelevants. For example the shadow behind Jinbei and Robin at the beginning of Onigashima. The Floria Triangle bigger than Skypea Shadows. Etc.

Everybody that meets the crew says they will meet again in the future.

Usopp goals has nothing to do with Elbaf. He prety much already is a Brave Warrior of the Sea.

Saul being alive there is just to explain Vegapunks knowledge of the Ancient Kingdom. Which pretty much destroyed Vegapunk, Aokiji and Saul characteres with one fake death.

Ohara's books being there are irrelevant since Vegapunk's already read all of them with his DF. So Vegapunk's has the knowledge of it and is now allying Strawhats and will sail with them.

Like I said irrelevant to go there.

If it trully comes down to this, RIP to 90% of the readers. Maybe our grandchilds will witness how this fucking series ends.

 

[Paperchampion23]

If I think it is irrelevant it has everything to do with it.

Lmfao. Excellent mindset to have in life.
Your opinions about irrelevancy are irrelevant. Especially when the story disagrees with you.

Oda hides a bunch of designs that are irrelevants. For example the shadow behind Jinbei and Robin at the beginning of Onigashima.

It was Otama, Yamato or Hiyori. It does not matter who it was. Why is this being compared to a central location on Grand Line?

The Floria Triangle bigger than Skypea Shadows. Etc.

Do you know what "old wives tales" are? The Florian Triangle is a clear spoof on the Bermuda triangle, a place in the world that has multiple unexplained disappearances of aircraft and ships. The Florian Triangle monster was Oda's way of maintaining the mystery after Thriller Bark was over We were never ever meant to see the creature.
In fact, Oda flat out implies this in the chapter its shown through narration:

Everybody that meets the crew says they will meet again in the future.

No, everybody says this when we leave their particular kingdoms already visited. Every single giant comes from Elbaf and says they'll meet again in Elbaf, an island not yet visited.

Usopp goals has nothing to do with Elbaf. He prety much already is a Brave Warrior of the Sea.

And how do you think he achieves his goal? The Giants are the group he is most inspired by. Please reread Little Garden, and even Enies Lobby. It is entirely central to his dream lol.

Saul being alive there is just to explain Vegapunks knowledge of the Ancient Kingdom. Which pretty much destroyed Vegapunk, Aokiji and Saul characteres with one fake death.

Ohara's books being there are irrelevant since Vegapunk's already read all of them with his DF. So Vegapunk's has the knowledge of it and is now allying Strawhats and will sail with them.

Like I said irrelevant to go there.

Except Oda could have used any giant for this lmao. Whether or not you hate it is, again, irrelevant on its own.

The fact that Vegapunk has connections to Elbaf should also tell you we are going to Elbaf

Wild how you try and baselessly handwave shit away with no logic lol

 

[Etzel Andergast]

I agree. At minumum i think Elbaf, Law's original destination (we need some location for the 4th RP at least), Lodestar and Laugh Tale are purposeful.

The rest just comes down to what settings he wants to do before the end. Fullalead or Underworld locations are not exactly important even if they still have unfinished roles. Fullalead's specifically can be done without us going there.

If vegapunk survives after the egg head incident, where he will go? He will stay with mugiwaras until laugh tale? Or he will ask to the mugiwaras to leave him in some place?
Where Lucci and Kaku will go after the incident?
The neo mads was recently created (why oda is doing this plot?)
What is miss bakkin goal?
And now we have morgans with vivi.

I think an underworld arc would be perfect to settle all these plots.
Idk if the underworld is a place (or just an organization). But im sure the pleasure district is a place.

 

[Paperchampion23]

If it trully comes down to this, RIP to 90% of the readers. Maybe our grandchilds will witness how this fucking series ends.

Nah I dont think each arc would be 80-100 chapters long lol:

- Egghead: 30-50 chapters left potentially
- Fullalead/Underworld: If Stussy leads us there for the Burned Man or Rocks lore, I expect it to be short and more expositional, no direct villain. Zou sized and 20-30 chapters.
- Elbaf: Signficant, 80-100 chapters and cant be helped imo. Elbaf definitely has its own issues that Luffy will resolve, regardless if some people think its irrelevant.
- 4th RP/Lodestar/LT: Imo, these 3 "arcs" or locations will be 4 Yonko centric and may take another 100-150 chapters altogether
- Final Conflict w/ WG: 100 or so chapters.

This is why I say 300-400 chapters is a safe guess. You cant really take away any of this save for maybe Fullalead or Underworld since they arent "guaranteed" to exist or happen, but the rest are central to the manga.

The key really is Elbaf and its relationship to the end. Is it separate or central to the 4th RP and LT plotline?

@Etzel Andergast
Exactly my thoughts lol. Think about Stussy:

- Rocks clone
- CP0 member
- Underworld Empress

Best place to hide VP is the Underworld. Best place to look for the burned man too likely is the Underworld. This is exactly wht I think its next, at least a location tied to it.

These things may also be tied to Elbaf ifn some way but who knows.
