I thought so at first but at the same time is there any real reason to delay it? I rather it be done so Oda can focus on the feal meat of the arc
Saul represents the best opportunity for subtly splitting the crew again. Robin, Lilith, and the other interested SHs stay behind with Saul to catch up and maybe consult some of the Ohara books, while Luffy + whatever SH may be relevant to future plots go about exploring in search of the arc's main conflict.
As Luffy & Co. start little skirmishes with the villain's mooks, like with the sumo chump in Wano, the main villain himself might threaten the SHs left with Saul (a la SHs left on Going Merry meeting mustache guy & being hit by Enel's lightning in Skypeia).
Then Luffy comes back to Saul's village, we get a CHILLING cliffhanger of everything destroyed, things are explained, and he moves on toward the arc's main fight.

I def can see something like this happening, Robin staying with Saul if they reunite early arc seems like a given

She'll definitely want to protect him after what just happened to him too. And thus return the favour of him saving her originally too.

I hope we get some more demonio fleur/giant Robin badasserry vs some giant enemies. Same for Chopper with monster point and a powerup hopefully, maybe even awakening and franky to make a giant mecha somehow.

You mean Goofy? Since we all know Widd is No. 1 :kata:
Extremely based. He was pre TS too, highest bounty for a reason and survived attacking a Yonkos territory and forcing a YC to give Poneglyph rubbings.

But you know haters gonna hate, slanderers gonna slander and ignorance breeds ignorance with said haters and slanderers.

Him and Law got awakening before Luffy too and didn't have to die for it either nor retcon their fruits into a literal God fruit and devil fruit of the seemingly strongest being in the entire series.
