Current Events Where to From Here?

[Blazing Lion]

This chapter really changed how the fandom generally expected the story to move forward. Nobody expected the WG to get involved and as deeply as it is now. Most expected the Gorosei to be the final fight alongside Imu after OP has been found. But the reveal of the Gorosei in battle right now has thrown all that out of the window.

The Gorosei are this arcs/sagas main opponents, Oda does not showcase the villains like this unless they are meant to be fought and defeated soon. I personally think that the Gorosei will not be the opponents of just the SHs and neither will they be defeated in Egghead.

We don't have a set pattern for what will come to follow and predicting things right now is difficult because this seems quite unprecedented. My guess though is that this is what W7 and EL would be like in current time. The organization and the opponents have been shown but they won't be defeated here. There might actually be a stopover island before the battle takes place but what seems pretty confirmed to me is that the Gorosei are the next main opponents. Its' not the BBPs or SHPs or CG or Marines but Gorosei and instead of all SHPs fighting the Gorosei there will be third party involvement like the Wyper and his group against Enel etc. I think almost all arcs have some third party invovlement in the matchups but if the Gorosei are really as strong as they are supposed to be Admiral/Yonko level then only the SHPs cannot defeat them.

Exciting times ahead, buckle up boys.

Buggy becomes king of the world and Imu uses cross guild as his new public face of the WG leadership

Nobody expected the WG to get involved and as deeply as it is now.

Not me, i always said that WG aren't Final Villains, and They will be taken down before SHs declare War on the Actual Final Villain.
Next Arc gonna be Mary Geoise/Marine HQ

SHs are being reserved for this Arc's Ending (Should Start after Vega's Message, at around Chapter 1115)
Cuz think about it, let's say SHs aren't on Egghead, can Oda write Similar Scenario? Yes, Totally

CP-0 came to Kill Vegapunk, but They were stopped by Stussy's Betrayal
Lucci & Kaku being freed is just Filler, Oda could have kept them asleep & the Plot doesn't change

Kizaru then Attacked, He did end up Killing Vegapunk, so whether He fought Luffy or not is just Filler
Saturn showed up because Pacifista were Controlled by Vega, and He was gonna kill Bonney, who saved Her? It was Kuma, not a SH

And He ended up meeting Devon, where again SHs weren't involved at all
And when He ordered a Buster Call, was it SHs who stopped it? No, it was Bonney controlling Pacifista
And then Giants coming to help

So the Plot could have been written to ignore SHs Presence
It's basically Arc of Vegapunk, not SHs

Their only Job this Arc was stopping York, but Two Satellites Died anyway, and Oda even skipped that Part
Cuz He doesn't want SHs to overshadow the Conflict between WG & Vega's Group

So the real question is, what's SH's Purpose in this Arc? Why are they even on this Island?
It's cuz They need to meet the Character who Ends this Chaos

Why did this Arc start with Destruction of Lulusia Kingdom? It served nothing except tease that Weapon for Readers
But in reality, it was to alarm Someone, to make a Hidden Character forced to come out & reveal himself

And this entire Chaos in Egghead is only to force WG to exhaust all their cards till they become desperate and order Mother Frame be used again, and that's when this Character shows up to Stop it

Lulusia Kingdom Destruction led to Sea Level rising which damaged lot of Islands, so imagine if there is a Kingdom that doesn't wanna be bothered by outsiders & no one dare approach it, but suddenly these outsiders start playing with a weapon & it's effects reach their turf, wouldn't the Ruler need to come out & scold these outsiders?

That's who Vikings are, that's what Elbaf is, the Strongest Kingdom, no one dares to mess with it and they stay out of politics & outsiders affairs, but when tsunamis start hitting their lands, the Gods won't stay silent, the next time they try to use it again, They will stop it

So SHs Role in this Arc didn't arrive yet, They are just Spectators, it's not even an Escape Arc, cuz They are taking nothing with them
And whatever Vegapunk has to reveal, He is revealing it to entire World anyway

After Vegapunk's Message, We will have "That Person" vs "That Person" mentioned by Oda, which refers to Luffy vs True Villain of Egghead
It's like this entire Battle is just a Serious Version of Foxy Arc, but real highlight is gonna be this Arc's Equivalent of Luffy vs Aokiji

Im was never meant to be the final villain, that role has been occupied by BB since his introduction. Now the gorosei have lost all their mysteries: some months ago they were mythical figures we knew basically nothing while now we know their true form in detail (not just some silouhette), their powers in detail (in the next few chapters all of them will be explained), Saturn is utterly done since he has already been beaten by Luffy, basically, plus his role with Bonney etc. was explained as well. This means they can fall.

Now I agree that maybe they all will not fall in these 7 minutes. Even if Saturn is almost assured because this is his arc and he is already spent. But they will not stay for much longer. What is weird is that I expected the holy knights to fall first but it seems Oda will use them to replace to a degree the gorosei/admirals.

About the downfall of Im and friends well, that is not very far off, Im most likely is the next big villain just like Kaido was the big villain of his saga (which went from Punk hazard through Dressrosa to Wano). The 3rd party that can get involved that is BB since he could just trick the WG a 2nd. It is also true that probably a lot of people expect it just like a lot if people expected him to steal Kaido's df at the end of Wano..

Also another point for Im falling before BB is that Im most precious card (the gorosei)(supposedly at least) are now in bare light also probably Vegapunk is going to spread some more light on Im and his empire while BB is still a total mystery, Shanks is the same and Shanks too most likely falls in the end in the BB pack/arc. Buggy will be there, one way or another, for comedic relief but there will be Mihawk with him and that is Zoro final target while here we have Gandhi (who at this point could very well fall even before Shiriu) who is clearly just a stepping stone to get to Mihawk.

Just some ideas to throw:

Egghead, end of Arc:
-Gorosei fails at stopping Vega Punk broadcast
-Gorosei fails at capturing Nika and any SHP
-Kizaru dies by protecting/helping Nika
-Fujitora will switch side after Vega Punk broadcast

Elbaf Arc:
Elbaf:
-Gorosei regroups and with Marines will siege at Elbaf
-Gorosei + Broccoli Admiral + VAs
-SHP + Giants + Fujitora

-Nika vs Warcury
-Zoro vs V. Nasu
-Sanji+Jimbo vs Mars? (I'm not confident Sanji can solo a Gorosei after his performance against Saturn)
-Dorry+Brogy vs Ju Peter?
-Bonney+S.Bear vs Saturn?
-Greenbull vs Fujitora

-Time Bomb is the weapon that erased Lulusia (IDK how they'll stop this, maybe Franky will create something and Ussop will have to aim lol)

Elbaf, outside:
-RHP vs BBP
-Holy Knights vs Revos all over the World
-Dragon goes for Imu, since Gorosei and Holy Knights are out but Akainu intervenes
-Cross Guild roams to recruit prominent allies and road poneglyph copies

 

[grey matter]

BBP for end game villains?

Issue is their showings is SAD AF at the moment

"Already beaten by Luffy basically"

Meanwhile in reality, Saturn is completely unharmed and Luffy is getting tired.

When you can turn a gorosei and an admiral in pizzas the portrait is pretty self explanatory.

That was a good analysis, not gonna lie I mostly skim over your long posts because you seem to be smoking crack mostly when you write them but this is good.

I was one of the few people who said WG war isn't the final war and that Imu is not the finale but the battle for the treasure is.
Showcasing Elders like this, showing both their Zoans and Hybrids can only mean one thing, they are getting defeated soon.
I agree with your take about Water 7 and Ennies Lobby. As well as with the pit stop island in between.

Most likely that will be Elbaf, considering that the mightiest allies are found there but on the other hand, Elbaf in itself has potential to be even bigger than the WG war so it could happen after WG as well but for now I am betting that Elbaf is next. From there, we should go right to Mariejois alongside the Revolutionary Army which will most likely get triggered by Vegapunk's broadcast.

Not everything i write is what i actually believe for real
I just post any idea that comes to mind, because writing is way better than just thinking
Ideas don't stop to pour in once u write, so it's a faster way to reach your best possible conclusion
Same applies to talking ofc (real life conversations)

In other words, They are more like drafts
I have yet to post my True Analysis, which is only based on Haki System

As for this Arc, as i said, remove SHs & Plot doesn't change
So They are only here for something that's gonna happen "After" Vegapunk Plot ends

 

[Herrera95]

We've just learned some of Gorosei powers. Not even all. They may as well as still be last villains.

We already know a good extent of Teach and Akainu power. We've know that eya before Kaido. So there is no logic here.
