Sphinx Island is an unimportant backwater with nothing going on. Why is Oda sending Luffy there? Because Luffy won't play a major role in the next Arc. We will see interesting things going on elsewhere. Lots of panels about Shanks, Blackbeard and the Titanic Captains and even some featuring Kid and Law.
Future Events Sphinx is boring because the next Arc will barely be about Luffy

An official map released over a year ago from some japanese magazine.
The names of Hachinosu (Ruche in this map) and Elbaf are switched here though.
If the routes from 1056 are respected, then Luffy would go to Sphinx, Kid to Hachinosu and Law to Elbaf.

I’ve long counted Reverie as my favorite post-timeskip arc, Luffy being completely out of the picture for six entire chapters so the rest of the world could stretch their legs a bit was a wildly needed breath of fresh air and I wouldn’t mind getting one last big gulp of it before the end of the series 
Based on the above map (which seems to be accurate), I thought Blackbeard was going to attack like this: Whole Cake, Sphinx, Zou, Wano, in order to get the three Road Ponyglyphs from them, as well as pick up Whitebeard and Ace's corpses from Sphinx to eventually have Moria revive them. This is still possible if Blackbeard comes back from Fishman or some other area and stops at Whole Cake first, but, now, I'm realizing we could easily see this:
Blackbeard leaves Fullalead and attacks Sphinx (remember Elbaf and Fullalead are switched, so Sphinx is directly to the left of Fullalead on this map), then goes to Whole Cake, then attacks Zou, then Wano.
The Straw Hats arrive in Sphinx to find it wrecked, and then find out that Blackbeard is attacking Wano.

It's the New World. A straight line on a map means nothing, who knows what the hell is guarding that island.
Really interested in visiting Lodestar, hope it's a Nami-themed arc.
