Speculations Kid will raid Hachinosu, causing Teach to follow him to Elbaf

[Monkey D Theories]

It seems like the story is progressing to Elbaf. For the SHs going there, the path seems relatively simple.

The WG is hunting Vegapunk, the SHs are trying to save him, Saul is on elbaf. The SHs go to elbaf in order to bring Vegapunk to Saul(and possibly to dragon), so that Vegapunk can be safe under the protection of the giants.

But what about Blackbeard? Why would Blackbeard go to Elbaf? If I were to guess, maybe it will be something due to Kid. Despite being a key player, we are yet to receive an update of what Kid did since leaving wano. We know he is searching for saul, meaning he will probably end up in elbaf.

So, what if Oda uses Kid to bring Teach to elbaf? My guess is that he raids Hachinosu while Teach is fighting Law, steals a bunch of Teach's weapons/gold via magnetism, and then heads off to elbaf. Teach is enraged, he follows Kid to elbaf in order to kill him. This is where Luffy and Teach meet and battle it out.

No, Kid not connected to BB IMO that a Law/SH thing, D’s an all.

With all the new developments around Kuzan an his presumed knowledge of the void Century. An the current situation on winner’s island. Chances are Law there when that crew finally falls, an learns the secrets he’s looking for through the admiral.

Kid at this point either directly going to be involved with the SHs similar to Law PH arc. Or be connected to BB counterpart shanks in a winner island type situation.

I don't think Kidd has to raid Hachinosu in order for Teach to chase him, I think Teach was going after all three supernova captains from the start. So Teach arriving in Elbaf is to be expected.

It’s not that I think Kid will be heavily involved with Teach, just that I think Oda will use Kid to bring Teach to elbaf.

Kidd either fights Shanks on Elbaf or he fights Luffy on Elbaf. Either way he’s gonna lose there. He’ll probably be the first to discover the location of the final Road Ponyglyph.

Whatever Kid does will be amazing and a spectacle. I’d love to see him punk Neckbeard

I honestly had enough of Kid and Law, we don't know anything about the Mad Monk and we have Cross Guild too, I would like for Oda to focus on them, not to mention the marines haven't been in the main picture of the story since then end of Dressrosa.

 

[Killer#777]

the Mad Monk and we have Cross Guild too

That's because they are not as important in the overall story.

Idk i feel like the stkory will head first to Beehive, considering Helmeppo's scene about Koby being kidnapped, but we'll sse

This does not sound un-plausible or terribly off at all.

I'm not sure however. It's one of those situations where some amount of variables are existent in the ways those things - the order of the islands visited, the crossing of paths of the various characters at those islands and the question of which island the expected conflicts take place on. The funny part in all this is that outside of those small details certain parts of the story of been unavoidably guaranteed. We are not 100% about the "Where", but we are 100% certain about the "What", and also about 90% certain of the "Who". Almost everyone is in an at least nearly perfect agreement. We are in the end-game, we are right at the precipice.

I am just sitting here with my thumbs crossed at this point. Oda has spent a great many years and panels hyping up the final battles and final chaotic events of One Piece, and especially the final war. He has made it appear as if this would all turn out to be a climax surpassing everything before.

So with that considered, I certainly hope that he has not grown too old in the process of the writing. That he didn't rely on mere promise-making - keeping us on board via. the hype-train of the end-events, only to suddenly run out of steam when we finally arrive there, and nothing happens - a mediocre story with mediocre panels, etc.

Here's hoping for the best.

Forget Elbaf. The story doesn't seem to progress to Elbaf at all. Everybody said that shit after Wano but here we are in Egghead.
