- Luffy surpassing Kaidou. Kaidou acknowledging Luffy, and while battling or post-battle tells him about important story regarding D family including the happenings at God Valley, discussing Rocks, Joy Boy and Luffy's destiny stuff but Luffy oppose that he's the chosen one since he represents freedom etc.
- Zoro to take down some strong figure like Wano's strongest hidden evil samurai or something that is known for no.2 in the world, the closest to Mihawk, giving back Shusui but taking Enma, and also be built his own personal sword by Wano Blacksmith. Inheriting Ryuma/Oden's will.
- Not dragging out unimportant fights.
- more history and exploration on Wano culture, creatures, geographies, people. Somewhat of a vacation arc / rest period after Luffy beat Kaidou. Toki appears to intertwine Wano's story with her telling the World History, Red Line, Poneglyph, and the OP lore as a whole.
- Jimbei, Yamato, Law for nakama.
