Who will be the Next Strawhat?

Oda has not really made true on his promise in his festa-letter for 2024 of the surprising fight of "that person against that person". So, he still needs to deliver this. And this fight is only surprising, if at least one of the participants wasn't anticipated to partake in it.
And this is the case with Lucci - many people write him already off, while he still can move and have an impact on the plot.

Besides, since his request of sparing Kaku was denied, some people are already considering him wrecking heavoc somehow or changing sides. Therefore in the chapter 1111, Oda already hinted at where he wants to go with the character. And since Kizaru mirrors Lucci's problem (chosing between family/friends or mission - Lucci's brothers are Shaka and Kaku) quite well, the admiral is the only other character, who can act as Lucci's counterpart - meaning: We will see at least a clash between those two.
I think you might misunderstood me this time.

I loled at the “hold off Kizaru” part.

Lucci has already been defeated three times in this arc alone. Please don’t hand him the fourth L.

I stan Yamato, but it made me chuckle :shame:

Cover series is in the past, it's a fakeout

Yamato will arrive on Egghead during her own Cover Series, big brain Oda
That would be nice, but can she skip directly to Elbaf? Maybe another Giant ship will give her a ride? Or maybe Zunesha will and everyone will laugh their asses off as we will witness Yamato and Carrot becoming besties to spite all the hating flames :ihaha:

Well, if a flashback starts, then yes
But I hope it will be in about a year?
Not sure about a flashback.

If one happens, it will be with the Ancient Robot, not Vegapunk. Vegapunk already said he doesn't know the true history, and doesn't want to speculate on what the true history is, so, it's impossible for him to head the flashback.

Zunesha appearing and being connected to a flashback is also possible.

Since the entire island is on fire, and Warcury is doing a GREAT job of stalling Luffy, Dorry, and Brogy, top tier work, Topman, I think some force will show up to put out the fire soon.

The two most likely candidates are Smoker and Zunesha. Smoke can smother fire by denying fire the oxygen it needs to burn, and Zunesha... is just... a giant water pump.



Oda has teased Carrot returning so many times with the year of the rabbit stuff, the bunny-propeller on the Sunny, so, I think she's coming back. Also, Zunesha is from the Void Century and houses an entire tribe that is allied with the Kozuki and respect the Void Century/Ancient Kingdom in the Minks. The Straw Hats saved Zou from the entire island being coated in poison gas, so, Zunesha saving the Straw Hats from a flaming island connected to the Void Century fits.

Smoker is very connected to Vegapunk, expect to see him soon.

Then, two years of a Luffy rescue arc, and Wano Act 4/5 leading into Elbaf. Maybe three years if things are bad.

But what if they do escape.....
 
I will tell you what is the Wano cover story for: 1. For Oda to make up for all the shit he skipped during the rushed Wano ending, we'll see that skipped stuff (show me Ulti and Page One, Oda!). 2. For Oda to tie it with BB trying to get Pluton when she comes back to the capital making a full circle. NOT for Yamato to join the crew, okay? :suresure: Luffy asked her to watch over Momo and she promised she will. And her fleeing off to Elbaf isn't her watching over Momo and Wano :suresure: She will go the sea eventually but not alone to join the crew. She will go to the sea when it's finally Momo's time to fulfill his father's prophesy he read in the journal ("guide people to the dawn"). They both will be riding on Pluton or something like that, Momo is special. Most likely like Shirahoshi.

Tldr; Yamato and Mono is a package deal for good now, same with Wano guardian animal role. I roll my eyes everytime I open this thread, spare me please :josad: :suresure:

Wait, was something confirmed? :shocked:
Nah, I'm just working on my Observation Haki/Future Sight

Trying to get that Sanji Lady Radar, you know what I'm saying?

At this point I treat One Piece like a holistic introduction to Buddhism and amateur Alchemy

Zoro

Is

So

Buddhist

Vegapunk is literally an alchemist in every sense of the word.

I can't believe Oda stealth-converted me to Buddhism.

I 100% my crazy ass was dying as an atheist, we living and setting sail for the One Piece, WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
