Oda seems to be building up elbaf to be a big wano style arc.
One thing in particular I noticed is that it seems like elbaf will be the next arc where the big supernova will reunite. Luffy is going there, Kid’s ship sunk there, and Bepo swam away from winner island.
The question is why? The captains are very powerful, so it doesn’t make sense for them to reunite unless they are facing a new insurmountable threat.
The last time they allied, it was to bring down 2 yonko. The threat of elbaf must be even greater .
It can’t just be the BBP, it has to be something more imo. Given the hype the giants have, I think it’s very possible that the king of elbaf is Roger/WB level. That Teach will gain the alliance of the king. And that this is why Oda is setting up the captains to reunite.
Elbaf was called the strongest country on earth. Giants seem to be one of the strongest races, with them living hundreds of years. Given how elbaf has yet to be conquered by any yonko or the WG, it must have an extremely powerful force on it that is keeping other top tiers away.
Wano, a similarly isolated country, always had top tiers in it. First Oden, then Kaido, and now Yamato. Elbaf surely has a top tier in it.
I’m guessing that while the giant pirates and peasants favor Nika, the actual elbaf royalty is cruel and oppressive. Hence Luffy’s victory over the Teach/Elbaf king alliance, with the help of kid and law as well as probably the marines, will basically confirm the giants’ faith in Nika. Wano 2.0.
So yeah the big battles of elbaf, if I were to guess, are:
Luffy vs Teach
Kid and Law vs Elbaf King
Smoker and Koby vs Kuzan
And of course the Straw hat 1v1s
