Future Events Predicting the next arc
- Thread starter Mochiman
- Start date
After Wano, the Strawhats will have 3 Road Poneglyphs. Oda has a great opportunity to write adventures about the Strawhats exploring the New World in search of the final Road Poneglyph. It's a shame he wants to rush and end the series in 5 years. Instead, Shanks and the Road Poneglyph will probably be on Elbaf. On top of that, Blackbeard could arrive to steal the Poneglyphs and sail to Raftel. Basically, 3/6 of the options will be 1 arc because Oda wants to end One Piece.
at this rate story won't finish before 10 years
the point is Oda is trying to rush to the end. Wano -> Elbaf -> Raftel -> Final War with no other arcs inbetween is a possibility.
Luffy's personality suggests that rescuing people he loves is of utmost relevance for him. It would be a counter-trend if he aimed for anything else had he known about what's occurring in the external world. Besides, despite Katakuri seemed to portray Luffy's return on WCI, that could have been his delusion and so Big Mom is hopefully getting thwarted this very arc.
Indeed, not to mention the post ts arcs have been kinda similar to the bigger pre-ts arcs and in the same order.
East blue= Sabaody- Getting the crew toghter.
Arlong Park= Fishman island- Fishmen lore, Nami's development arc.
Punk Hazard= Whisky peak/Laboon- Meet an ally who will join their ship to guide them in the new world(Momosuke/Vivi)
Alabasta= Dressrosa - i dont even need to mention the similarities between the two.
Skypea???/Water 7= Zou - Island high in the sky, sense of adventure like skypea but with not much fighting happening like water 7, one of the companions go willingly with a very powerfull enemy.
Ennies Lobby= WCI - rescue a companion arc
Thriller Bark= Wano - Someone might appear at the end of it like Kuma appeared? Or similarities might end now.
Sabaody = ???
Impel down/Marineford= ???

Imagine if Luffy recruited each captain of the Grand Fleet on a different island instead of spending 100 chapters on Dressrosa. 
I think there was an island where gravity was reversed or unstable (Franky, Usopp, Robin shine) or Raijin (Nami) island with its lightnings and unpredictable weather. Greentbit should have been its own island which was a visually stunning setting for action and adventure.
DR is arguably one of the least interesting island in the NW.

There will be no more adventure arcs. We had one in Skypiea and people still complain to this day.
Conceptually wise, Dressrosa is the equivalent of the Alabasta saga. Except that story was told a lot better and you did not feel its length.
The Baroque works arc covered 4 islands (WP, LG, Drum) culminating with Alabasta. We never stayed too long at the same place and Oda did not add too many characters in a way that would break the pace. It was also the time where we did not kick out half of the crew.
Look at how the Alabasta saga covered more islands with less chapters than the DD arcs.

I hope Oda doesn't cram a lot into the next arc like dressrosa.
After Wano war, I expect Luffy to drop Marco to that island where Marco was living and protecting (WB home)
and I honestly expect Marco to ask Luffy to come and visit Ace and WB grave to pay respect which is SO FITTING!
Especially since Ace connection to Wano and wanting to save it, WB connection to Oden... and also both Ace and WB betting on Luffy and how far he's come... and also just a great sentimental way to give closure to the plot of Wano saga as a whole and starting a new Saga...
Luffy visiting WB and Ace grave has been a scene I've been asking to see for a LOOOONG TIME
Best way to deliver it is after Wano war arc, and taking down Kaido... freeing Wano.. land of oden... and the place where Ace wanted to save... BEST TIME for the Luffy paying respect
Let's not forget that Oda mirrors the past arcs... After Marinford war, Luffy went back to Marineford and had a picture of throwing flowers paying respect... why wouldn't Oda make Luffy pay respect for the dead after Wano war arc too...
