Aye thats a good plan man! I love One Piece too so I get it, the more you love something, the more you can become disillusioned once it loses its spark/way or so, when it has a rough patch especially too long or especially just lacks its charm/soul that makes it so great.
Hopefully the arc will get much more interesting and better soon! If it starts off worse but gets better instead, that would be the ideal scenario vs it starting off well and stagnating or declining ofc!
I'm really worried about what the SHs will find once they break out and if it will be Elbaf or not. It HAS to be Elbaf but I don't trust Oda to not troll us either.
I thought Oda mentioned Elbaf here, he's surely alluding to it ofc unless he's referring to Beehive somehow? But Vegapunk and such were talking about going to Elbaf at the time during Egghead so it must be Elbaf?:
This message had me worried, maybe Oda didn't want the SHs to go to Elbaf or to do Elbaf as an arc too BUT that would be extremely out of character and weird for him too? Is he just trolling for hype and to mislead us on where the story is going and what to expect so we can't predict him?
Also never seen that photo of Oda before, so weird to see a recent pic of Oda! To see him as he is now! So used to seeing much younger Oda constantly!Its like seeing Kubo now and not his famous emo/90s hairstyle with the sunglasses too! Kubo is completely different meanwhile Araki still looks the SAME for decades and CENTURIES, the bloody immortal bastard!
