Speculations Next Arc would be Hachinosu arc?

i believe the final saga arcs will not simply be counterparts of older arcs. instead they will be combinatoins of two. the maryjoa arc for example will be a combination of dressrosa and albasta. crocodile was a wannabe doflamingo, who in turn was a wannebe imu.

sabaody's parallel is not egghead, it is jaya. now you have to combine jaya and sabaody for elbaf. sabaody and jaya were about executions. soon strawhats will learn that akainu plans to publicly kill law and barto. they will set sail for new marineford.

I doubt Lodestar will have special arc dedicated to it, unless Oda spends another 10 years into manga . Lodestar may just be part of finding one piece arc which will be followed by final war and we still have ELbaf arc that just started.

Honestly maybe finding one piece and final war are one and same arc not separate ones and battle against WG / Navy happens on laugh tale

If Elbaph will mirror Amazon Lily arc, then the next arc would be a mirror to Impel Down arc? Hachinosu arc? Garp rescue? Straw Hat Pirates vs. Blackbeard Pirates?
Yes to the reflection.
No to Beehive..

I PREDICT . . . . Laugh-Tale will be underground/sea level. After acquiring the One Piece someone (Teach or WG) will use Pluton to try and bury it along with the straw hats. Leading to a mad dash to go back up to surface level. as in Impel Down. . . . .

That is obviously a short version of my theory.

Well, actually, the Strawhats probably DO need to get to Hachinosu at some point. Becaue Hachinosu has one of the Rio/Historical Poneglyphs that Robin needs to find in order to learn about the Void History.

The 4 Road Poneglyphs are the ones that get all the attention. Because they're flashy and red, and lead you to the big treasure at the end of the story. But, the Rio Poneglyphs are probably just as, if not more, important, since they give you a full telling of what happened during the Void Century.

There's 9 of these Rio Poneglyphs, and the Strawhats have had access to information on 8 of them. The ones from Ohara, Alabasta, Skypiea, the 2 on Whole Cake, the 2 on Wano, and the one on Egghead (either from reading Vegapunk's notes about it during the Missing Night or just asking Lilith about it). The one that's on Hachinosu that Blackbeard conquered the island to get access to is the only one the Strawhats still need Robin to see. Robin's actually been pretty dutiful about collecting all these Rio Poneglyphs in the background of the story for decades now. The girl knows how to prioritize important side quests that get you a Secret Ending.

Artur made a pretty good breakdown of all of this pretty recently here:

So, unless Blackbeard takes the Poneglyph with him somewhere else, the Strawhats might need to go to Hachinosu.

Although, I suppose if Pudding escapes from Blackbeard then SHE can tell Robin what the last Rio Poneglph said.

So, either the Strawhats need to get to Hachinosu or they need to rescue Pudding. One way or another.

As for rescuing Garp....I'm not sure if Luffy would actually be worried about Garp getting captured or not. Luffy knows how tough Garp is and would probably assume it's all a trick he's pulling on Blackbeard. "Oh...Gramps is gonna be so mad when he wakes up. Those poor pirates..."

Going to Hachinosu WOULD give us a excuse to see Gin and Don Kreig again, though. So...yeah, I could see us going to Hachinosu. It'd make for a fun fight arc. I've speculated before that Blackbeard might be interested in stealing Elbaph's Legendary Devil Fruit for himself. So, a Hachinosu arc might end up being a natural sequel to Elbaph, in some ways.

Hope it's the final showdown for Laftel already.

Expecting Elbaph to be pretty long, with Loki plot, this silluete guy plot, Shanks plot, man marked by flames and road poneglyph plot.

If this five are deal with in Elbaph there would be left just Teach plot and Laftel plot before dealing with the WG.

I believe there's no reason to go to Hachinosu because Teach plot point to he getting out of Hachinosu to go after the Ancient Weapon and using Pudding to get the info out of the Road Poneglyph and going to Laftel, so the conflict against him point to he and Luffy fighting right before Laftel for the PK title

In what way would Elbaf mirror Amazon Lily, out of all of the arcs?
It's an "if" for now... Just as how Egghead ended up as a mirror to Sabaody...

I doubt Lodestar will have special arc dedicated to it
Lodestar might get an arc, a short one, it was supposed to be where pirates learn the need of Road Poneglyphs... I think Gaban and Oro Jackson (and the egg) might be significant here...
