Future Events Which outside factions do you think will make an appearance on Wano ?

[bluefire12]

- Weevil

• With Rocks rebirth on Wano, it makes sense for Weevil to make an appearance on Wano given he’s supposedly WB’s son who used to be part of the old Rocks. Plus Bakin will want to take revenge on the WG for betraying so Rocks I think is her best bet for that.
• Strength Comparisons have been drawn btw Weevil & a young WB and similarly Luffy is also very similar to Roger so i think it’s s given that Luffy & Weevil are matched up against one another. Interestingly enough, Roger & WB’s first ever encounter was when Roger & Garp went against Rocks 2.0.
• Luffy will be to strong for Weevil to be matched up against him after Wano. Except the later is as strong as the Yonkou/Admirals. Plus Luffy needs a warmup before Kaidou, Lilin is too strong to be that so I think Weevil will be just right for him (Oda is not going to use King or Queen as warmups for Luffy. Jack could be the scapegoat as he’s Kaidou’s ‘3rd strongest subordinate’ and Luffy has a history of taking the 3rd strongest subordinate out as s warmup before the main event (Mr 3, Blueno are some examples))

- Vegapunk

• WG particularly the Celestials are a scummy bunch. So it wouldn’t be at all surprising if they tried to dispose him now that he’s finished the new Pacifista that are seemingly strong enough to replace the warlords. That said it’d make more sense for the WG to kill him rather than hand him over to Wano given just how dangerous he could be as an enemy given his smarts. However faced with the thought of making an enemy of Kaidou and now the added strength of BM (I.e. Rocks 2.0) they might just give him up as a bargain chip to avert a war. Plus it’s hard to imagine the citizens of Wano would continue to live with the tragedy that befell them as a result of Smile even after Wano is saved & the only person that I think can undo the effects of Smile is Vegapunk.

- Smoker & Tashigi

• I’d be very surprised if they don’t make an appearance on Wano. Plus last we heard of them they we’re going to meet Vegapunk so if he shows up on Wano chances are Tashigi & Smoker will too. Plus Tashigi is a massive sword nerd lolz so I think we’d be defo seeing her on Wano.

- Ouchoku & Silver Axe

• Not sure why Oda would’ve introduced them into the story otherwise. Moreover, we know that the Rocks remnants have been growing in power over the years according to Hina, so Oda could potentially tie the aforementioned two to that statement.
• Plus, I think some of the alliance’s big hitters are lacking good matchups. E.g Law, Kid & marine allies like Drake and potentially smoker etc. I’d be over the moon if Smoker is given the opportunity to have a go at one of these two.

I wonder it Rox had eleven members for the eleven supenrovas to fight

It's speculated that they might be already dead and actually seen alongside captain John in Thriller Bark as zombies

Spoiler

As for why they were presented?

- It might be related to Moria-Blackbeard plot, with Blackbeard potentially boosting his zombie powers
- It may have also been a lure for Shiki's return, who unlike the rest might still be alive since he wanted to lay low the entire time

That’d be way too many characters lolz. We already have Kaidou & Lilin’s crews so I think that’d be enough if Oda decided to give all the supernova matchups. I personally don’t see that being the case tho.

I vote for the Marines. If Cipher Pol agents are already there, then the Marines are probably not too far behind. Maybe Admiral Green Bull will finally make an appearance.

 

[Blackflamesanji]

Sanji will spar with him by EoS :cheers:

My man:cheers:

 

[King7]

Marines
Aokiji -> met Strawhats in Long Ring Long Land
Kizaru - met them in Sabaody
Akainu - met Luffy in Marineford
Fujitora - met Strawhats in Dressrosa

RYOKUGYU - WILL MEET STRAWHATS HERE IN WANO IMO

I don't know what role Weevil will play if he comes here , maybe he'll play a role in Teach's defeat

Lol. I'm not a huge fan but it has to be admitted either way.

Hmmn, always thought Shakky's theory was plausible but felt it was a bit of waste for Oda to have introduce new powerful characters in the same breathe as Kaidou and Lilin only to have them both turn out to be Moria's general zombies that have no relevance to the plot going forward but the Moria/BB ting is interesting. If Moria is able to acquire powerful shadows thanks to BB, he could create some very powerful zombies with a corpses of powerful pirates like Ouchoku and Silver Axe ^^.

Also, I like the Shiki idea, but given OP is almost done I'm skeptical about the Shiki plot getting added to the current story line. I think it's interesting nonetheless tho ^^. Hina did talk about the remnants of the Rox pirates laying low and growing in strength over the years so it's plausible that it could be related to Shiki.

The Grand Fleet is the most likely. as it stands, the current alliance is enough for the Yonko alliance. And they all have Luffy’s vivre card. When Luffy took in the mummy virus, that would’ve been the perfect time for the fleet members to mobilize. But even beyond that, Hawkins told Luffy he had only a 19% chance surviving the month. This implies the SHs stay in Wano longer than expected of them. That would give the GF time to notice Luffy’s vivre card scorching out and arriving to Wano since the SHs would stay a few more weeks, per Hawkins’ fortune.

The Marines are all but confirmed to not arrive, at least not until the battles are over. They’ve got their hands full with capturing the Warlords, and I imagine whatever Teach will be up to will get their attention as well.

 

[Dark Knight Sanji]

Germa definitely for me! One they are linked with whether or not Jimbei successfully got away and two if they are indeed captured by BM, then the fact that Mont D'or is there with his prison library will allow them to come to Wano.

Also, they got to see my boy O Soba Mask.

 

[bluefire12]

Im shall make an appearance and the Makino of course
