I'd love to see that! Maybe even facing off against the WG to protect Elbaf and it's giants? Vs CP0 or something? Elbaf will be the pinnacle of Usopp's character arc especially if it does involve the Red Hair Pirates. Oda definitely teased and thus foreshadowed Usopp having it recently for a reason and it would be so fitting for his character! He's already seen as "a literal God" from Dressrosa ofc too!
I really wanna ssee how Oda will prepare Usopp to face Van Auger and maybe even Yasopp too. I also think Usopp may get an instrumental fight vs Loki and be vital to his downfall? But with Oda anything could happen ofc!
I never expected Sanji to get a raid suit, to be a genetically modified human kinda like Logan/Wolverine too and for Usopp to use all kinds of crazy plants and make them part of his arsenal as a botanist sniper combo! Jungle sniper Usopp! I love Oda's creativity when it comes to characters like Usopp and Franky so I'm hoping for some great things in future for both of them!
That SBS recently showing Franky becoming a massive ship might be foreshadowing in a way of what Franky will do in future, most likely vs San Juan Wolf the Colossal Battleship. We've not had a "proper Mega Zord" or even a "Germa Zord", so maybe Oda is saving it for Franky? With Pluton's blueprints in his head/memory, he might just become Pluton himself? As a reflection of especialy Sanji, Chopper and even Robin "becoming monsters" or even "demons/devils" to protect others but also the other SHs doing their own kind of sacrifices and such to



I completely agree with Bocchi's ideas here too. Well almost at least anyway haha. Zoro I'm not sure about him getting the Diamond fruit and I don't want all the SHs to get DFs. It's a pretty cool and nice idea especially with the scenario they gave there, that would be hilariously awesome, but Oda did reveal he would like Zoro to get Kaido's DF for one if his swords if he got a DF and if Zoro were to get a DF, I rather it was for a sword somehow (upgrade from Vegapunk?). But also, I rather Zoro didn't have to get a DF and faced Mihawk and defeated him finally without one too. No "shortcuts to power" and all that ofc.
I love the other ideas though. I had no idea what Oda could do with Jinbei except Life Return maybe but I love that idea, which is also similar to Life Return I think too?
Sea Stone Fists for Franky is a must, a Beetle Zoan slingshot for Usopp would be extremely apt and thus "perfect" for him. Heracles tribute especially! (I hope Heracles will return too somehow)
Sanji, I've always wanted to see him get flaming Rankyakus or Diable Jambe air slashes as Bocchi described there. I really wanted to see him and Robin learn Rokushiki techniques somehow, I think it would suit them so much.
I mean Sanji has his own version of "Geppo" ofc but I mean the other powers too. Shigan would be pointless for Sanji but maybe he can come up with a leg/foot based version somehow? Lmao. Kaku had the "nose version" after all!
BUT, Shigan would be AMAZING with Robin and her DF and Tekkai could do wonders for them, especially if combined with CoA too ofc. But Oda is really neglecting Haki on the SHs too unfortunately.
I also hoped Shiryu would get the Diamond DF and either use it on himself or his sword and Zoro could finally learn to cut and surpass diamond and it would also reflect back to when Mihawk's attack was blocked by Jozu too.
But, I happened to see this posted here recently and Zoro isn't keen on the idea ironically! So maybe it's not gonna happen unfortunately? I mean it would explain why Jozu isn't relevant in the land of Samurai where his DF would be extremely helpful but it still doesn't explain why Vista and Mihawk are completely irrelevant and unknown there. But that's a topic/discussion for another thread ofc.
This is a great thread and great suggestions too anyway Bocchi! The kind that I definitely enjoy and appreciate!
