Questions & Mysteries The end really feels close now

Oda did say we are heading into a battle royale iirc.
See, my view is that it’s all part of one arc that is the Final War. I honestly think Elbaph could be the second to last arc right now. I see Lodestar as a short pitstop. Several locations will be visited, and many events related to other factions will be happening at the same time.

While I can see it all being One war, I dont see Lodestar being just a pitstop.
The issue is many people want One Piece, which means people will fight over the RP's, which means only 1 or 2 groups at most are going to Laugh Tale. This suggest Lodestar must be the place where all of this is takes place. Its the only other named island and the end of GL that ordinary people can get to.
The real question is if Imu and the Revo's are involved in this, which they could be dont get me wrong. If they are, then Laugh tale is the end and whatever happens to Mariejoa/FI happens first. If they arent then thats after and realistically only Luffy and Teach are getting to LT.

I was responding to
>It doesn't matter how many islands left to visit, if we keep following the SHs defeating just one enemy from the remaining groups, Emperors, Navy, WG, the series will never end.
my only point was that I don't think that model can really continue, because there aren't that many full time arc opponents left for the SHP at this point, now that they beat BM and Kaido, and have encountered Imcel and the like. I don't have any real disagreements with your post beyond that/

Isn't Elbaf itself only at <60 chapters anyway? And that's with the largest flashback in the story or close. We could maybe give it an extra 20 chapters for the SHP to run away from Imcel or whatever, but at that point we're ending with like 80 chapters. Why would an arc where the Strawhats fight Sakazuki on an island with no native population take up 100 chaps?
Yeah but thats without potentially resolving no villain lol.
Personally the way I framed Luffy fighting Akainu isnt how I expect it to play out. I dont mean Its just the SHP vs the entire Marine force in an arc. Even then it still requires major setup.
Really the way I see it is Lodestar is really 4th RP/ Burned Scar Man focused. But this means All Yonko and Marines gather at the island and facr each other. Luffy's group ends up fighting Marines mostly while Shanks holds off Teach. CG does whatever. This results in Shanks possibly losing and Sakazuki primary military force falling to Luffy's group and Fleet. It lasts long because its ending several plotlines tied to Luffy/Shanks, Shanks/Teach, Garp/Marines, Kuzan/Marines, etc.
Even then, I still expect this idea to get thrown in the toilet for any number of reasons. I honestly have no idea how Oda will tackle everything, but I am confident Lodestar has to be central to at least the first major conflict, be it Sakazuki or not.
