Theory Remaining arcs left

#1
This manga will go on forever. Imo there are 5 arcs left:

Elbaf
Lodestar
Laugh Tale
New Marineford
Mariejois

Elbaf is already confirmed. The SHs need to stop at Lodestar before laugh tale. Laugh Tale is the Void century flashback. New Marineford needs to happen because otherwise the admirals get lumped into mariejois and it becomes a mess. Mariejois is the final battle.

The villain of Elbaf will be the Blackbeard pirates

The “villain” of Lodestar will be Shanks and Cross Guild

Laugh Tale is just the void century flashback

The villain of New Marineford is Akainu and the admirals

The villain of mariejois is Imu and the Gorosei

I think this is the only way every major story point gets covered. Shanks and Cross Guild could get lumped into Elbaf, but then you’d need to have nonsense like Shanks and Mihawk being turned into hype tools for the BBP.

Similarly, you could lump the admirals into mariejois. But then they get beaten by side characters and the story arcs of important marine characters like Koby, Smoker, and Tashigi all get skimmed over.

5 arcs would be the best

I don't see any reason to get so many arcs.

We will have Elbaf for sure..
After that, there is a "?" but I wouldn't expect something like a full arc, more like a transition toward raftel.
And Raftel that should end up on the final war.. (or maybe before ? I don't know)

If we get three arcs, we will be lucky.

You have to take into account the fact that the story is pointing toward the end now, just not Oda. If we get more than 400 chapter that would be wild.

I think Elbaf and Laughtale are the last 2 Arcs.

Crew doesn’t need to goto Lode Star themselves since Nekomamushi already gave them that information at Zou. Oda could just have Law or Kidd end up there.

For the issue of the villains, it’s more likely that we will end up with royal rumble style situations between the various factions like on Skypia. Something like Luffy vs Akainu vs Blackbeard vs Topman. Zoro vs Mihawk vs Fujitora vs Shiryu vs Venus

Shanks is not outlasting Blackbeard
It just seems like he’s set up to be the final obstacle to one piece
  1. Luffy said he wants to beat all yonko
  2. Shanks said he’s gonna try to claim the one piece
  3. Shanks refused to see Luffy even after he beat Kaido
  4. Shanks destroyed the Kid pirates, who were Luffy’s allies(even if Luffy probably doesn’t care about this, it means Kid would ally with him against the RHP)
  5. Barto went into shanks’s territory and Shanks said he’s going to take care of him
If Shanks was just supposed to lose to Teach, tbh Oda could have just had him meet Luffy at wano.

The fact that isn’t good enough signifies to me that Shanks will be the last yonko Luffy faces.

Lodestar should be that transition to laugh tale.

Luffy finally surpasses Shanks
Zoro finally surpasses Mihawk

Lodestar and new MF are unnecessary locations. There are no reasons to visit them from the current POV.
Only if Raftel is a location unfit for battle, the 4 Emperors could fight it all out on Lodestar instead.
Elbaf>Mariejois>Raftel are only locations left, IMO.

Elbaf arc
Moon arc
Final war arc
Laugh tale arc
I would love a moon arc. :lumazed:

Some Ideas that probably won't happen besides the popular ones :


Another underwater exploration Arc / sinking the sea levels again. Visiting fishman island for a second time? (Madame Shyarly's prophecy of a straw hat man destroying fishmen island needs to be fulfilled somehow or changed)


Moon adventure Arc, Robin reaching the same places we saw in enels cover story, (coming closer to the true history)


Sniper Island (mini arc) gathering all the best sharpshooters around the world for an ultimate tournament.

:steef:

I think elbaf is set in stone aint no way we arent going there after all this what happened this arc

And obviously, there is the location of Laugh Tale, where ever that is


The order and the rest are difficult to determine tho. Whitebeard said there will be a great war if I remember AFTER the one piece is found. This insinuates Mary joa, new Marineford or whatever the place is would come after laugh tale

I remember however there was also a interview were oda mentioned the one piece reveal will be the last page or something? So kinda curious

Also there might be a possibility of a arc after elbaf depending who that burned man guy is and if he, and the 4th road poneglyph, are on elbaf or not

We need a marine arc

otherwise they get clumped in with the CDs, which is a clusterfuck.
