Future Events Is Barto's ship explosion the start of the "incident" the narrator predicted in Dressrosa?

[ShinichiMugi]

As we know,when the Grandfleet was made at the end of the Dressrosa arc,the narrator said this

Now,the explosion of a low-level pirate like Barto is not THE big incident,of course. But,could that be the starting point of the incident? What could happen next to cause a series of events that lead to the incident? I think this event may be part of this series of event. For example:

- Grandfleet gets formed
-Barto damages Shank's flag in his territory
-His ship gets destroyed
-Luffy attacks Shanks because its the perfect reason to finally challenge him
-Someone intervenes in their friendly fight,making it way more dangerous

Something like that? Or this event wont be related at all to the Grandfleet incident? What will the Grandfleet incident be?

I think that it marks the start of the incident.

Ever since Oda's statement for Jump Festa 2024, the community have been speculating on who the characters being referred to could be, and what the unexpected results could be.

The most popular belief by far is that the characters being referred to are Shanks and Blackbeard. Oda did some set up for their fight last year, and it seems it is now on the horizon.

However, I think it's still too early for this battle to occur.

Whilst everyone is worrying about Blackbeard, Bartolomeo is the one we should be paying attention to.

Ever since Bart burned Shanks' flag in one of his territories, Shanks has declared that he will go after Bart, as ignoring such a sign of disrespect would ruin his reputation.

I believe this is the scenario that Oda was alluding to.

I think that, in order to understand Oda's intentions, we need to think a bit more 3-dimensionally. There is a 3rd party that connects to both Shanks and Bart which could be the cause of the 'unexpected results.' The God's Knights.

During the events of the Reverie, Sai and Leo assaulted Saint Charlos and whilst doing so, proudly announced themselves as members of Luffy's Grand Fleet.

The God's Knights are not likely to take this lying down. The pieces have already been set in motion for them to be deployed.

The God's Knights are going hunting, and the targets are the members of the Straw Hat Grand Fleet, and associated allies!

Based on this, I believe that one of the God's Knights will come hunting for Bartolomeo, and this will trigger the 'unexpected result' of his recently resolved conflict with Shanks.

Shanks will help Bartolomeo to defeat one of the God's Knights.

This incident will be like the falling of a stone that causes an avalanche.

With Bart escaping due to Shanks' help, he will then most likely seek out the other members of the Grand Fleet.

This will be the beginning of the moment that was foreshadowed at the end of Dressrosa.

Luffy, the Grand Fleet, and their allies are now responsible for 3 instances of St. Charlos getting beaten up.

If the God's Knights are going be to be deployed for a hunt. The Grand Fleet are their most likely first targets.

The deployment of the God's Knights will mark the beginning of the "Great Cleansing" that V. Nasjuro mentioned back in chapter 908.

Now all of Imu's forces will be active on the battlefield. The final war begins.

This would be the perfect moment to cut back over to Doflamingo. His words from Chapter 801 are now being fulfilled, and perhaps he will have a new speech for us to introduce the prelude to the final war.

Now all of the pieces are on the board at last. The final battle is about to begin.

As everyone plans their next move, they will all realize the significance of the same thing.

Everyone's attention turns toward Elbaf.

The Elbaf Saga begins.

 

[milluki]

barto will be arrested and brought to impeldown, to await execution. luffy will have to go from elbaf to new marineford, so save him
made a video on that 2 years ago

 

[Yoho]

No the way it's worded tells me the entire fleet would be involved in the incident, ships get sunk everyday so one ship getting sunk by a yonko crew isn't an innocent it's just a everyday occurrence.

 

[gz89]

Why would Luffy fight Shanks tho ?
Barto isn't a child, he made a choice and knew very well what would happen.

I highly doubt that Shanks vs Luffy will ever happen but if it happens and the main reason is Bartolomeo it will be just bad/boring writting from Oda.

'That' character and 'that' character... bro manages to make silhouettes even in text-only messages.

When Oda said, "that character vs that character " i really didn't think he was referring to 2 specific persons, i think he was referring to many, that vs that, this vs those, him vs them, etc, he was talking in plural, many fights. As we had Kaido vs Luffy. Shanks vs Kidd, Law vs Teach, Garp vs Aokiji, Luffy vs Kizaru. There is a lot of fights, imo he meant, we are finally having the waited fights.
