Yes it does. She has to go back to govern there. She can be safe at Alabasta once Luffy claims as his territory as well.
He doesn't need to go back to Alabasta to do this lmao. He can just defeat the WG
That was my headcannon. But a possible outcome for it.
Good to know
Is not irrelevant. I don't recall all times Elbaf was mentioned and Luffy getting excited for it. This is something important only to you. For example I don't even remembered Elbaf being mentioned at Sabaody. I don't remember Luffy getting excited about it at Enies Lobby.
I literally gave you a picture of Luffy and Usopp being excited, twice. Once after Little Garde, once again during this arc, which Oda referenced as a callback.
And we were talking about BOTH characters. It doesn't matter if you remember or not.
Enies Lobby:
And not on Sabaody, because the Giant there doesn't directly mention Elbaf, but he DOES mention meeting them again:
But no, apparently going back to Alabasta for no reason is more important than a heavily teased and hinted at island.
Is not hard to understand. Even a dumb like you can. Let's do it again.
Right now. Next arc. Won't be Elbaf.
If we ever go to Elbaf in the future(not near future) it won't be an arc.
Get it?
No explain it to me again
I'm talking about fandom. Fandom swear Elbaf was next arc to Wano. But we went to Egghead. And now fandom is swearing again. Of course we have much more probability since it was straigth said on manga that their next location will be Elbaf. But I'm betting it won't.
"Fandom" doesn't matter in any instance lmao. For example, I basically stated Vegapunk was next, either in his own lab or at Elbaf. Vegapunk had his own island, but Vegapunk himself has delegated Elbaf is next. Just because "I" stated something and was personally correct, doesn't mean others aren't correct in their statement that Elbaf would EVENTUALLY be visited, because it is going to be an arc regardless lmao.
