Man, I dont think we'll see finalized matchups for a long time. There just seems to be a lot of key ingredients missing at the moment.
- Luffy/Sanji/Jinbe are still on Floor 1 or 2. The closest thing we might be getting to an actual, finalized matchup is Queen v. Sanji here, as evidenced by this chapter. They still got 4 floors to go to get to the roof.
- Zoro/Drake have a subplot going on with Apoo, which likely won't lead to any particular matchup
- On that note, 5 Numbers are still MIA. Hacha is chasing Franky. We have no idea of the other 4 will get back up considering they were called incompetent for being drunk.
- Carrot/Wanda attacking Perospero seems like its happening super early. Something tells me the BMP will arrive exactly at a point where they won't be able to finish him off right at this moment.
- Kid, Law, Killer and Bepo are all essentially missing right now. Something big is happening with them too.
- We have no idea if Yamato is supposed to fight Sasaki. We thought the same with Ulti, could happen again here and be a red herring.
- Ulti/P1 proved to be too strong for Nami/Usopp. Either they fight someone else and Ulti/P1 are handled by someone like Robin/Chopper duo, or they come back for round 2 after being healed by Marco.
- Black Maria and Whos Who are entirely MIA. So is Hawkins, whom I think is scheming with Law considering he spared Hawkins.
- Big Mom being a fucking problem too.
- We STILL have yet to see Kaido take out any of the 9 Scabbards. Surely it's coming soon, but with all of the other perspectives its taking a while.
- Lastly, we dont know who else will show up during this war. BMP is the most likely, clearly. But are Germa, Sword, or other Whitebeard Remnants going to show up. Will this war escalate to that level? Is Oda going to draw it all and finish off 2 Yonko crews entirely?
Just so much going on and things just slowly chugging along as of yet. Gonna take a while before anything meaningful actually happens with matchups beyond skirmishes, let alone Yonko's top fighters actually falling.
