WG war will have the blueprint of Marineford war.
It means every single faction is present, to an even higher degree than Marineford itself.
And just like all current Emperors were present in Marineford war, they will be present in WG war as well.
Buggy, Shanks, Blackbeard and Luffy will all take part in it. On top of the Revolutionary Army and all the allies in the world.

I still believe that Raftel comes AFTER WG war because there is no way Oda will spill all the secrets on Raftel and then proceed to fight a war... Narratively, the secrets come last. WG can be beaten and all the secrets are still unknown and reserved for the finale at Raftel.
This is where the show ends, as Oda said it would, once the treasure is found.
 
Can still happen when Luffy and Zoro are too distracted from fighting Shanks and Mihawk:cheers:
Buggy dipping and abandoning Mihawk and Croc on raftel would be funny as shit ngl

Buggy being around as a Gag is cooll...
But giving so much attention to him when character like Akainu and Imu , BB are out there is a L move by oda.
Nah, Mr. Satan was One of the most important characters in DBZs final season, Buggy will absolutely be the same

This is why im 50/50 on just the Marines and WG all traveling towards or near LT.

Remember (and I think you agree), Imu has what is presumably a flying Island weapon (be it Uranus or God Valley or both). He and his entire force could in theory abandon Marijoa in the middle of their war with the RAs.

Yes, Im not sure how that would factor against the FI prophecy and the like but it is something I can imagine seeing in the end. Just a huge ass, multi-island/arc war after Elbaf to Laugh Tale, with different factions losing at different points.

Possible but the reason why I doubt this is because Oda cant give every individual faction the attention they need if he crams them all into one arc. Also, it is not possible to fight all those opponents even with all the possible narrative hacks like Mink medicine, Mansheries tears and whatnot...
That's why I believe in the Marineford type of scenario happening in Mariejois.
All figures participate and probably thats where all 4 Emperors obtain the missing 4th RPG and then start the final stretch of PK race.
While they are all participating, they will have smaller roles as they did in Marineford and the attention can go towards RAs, SHs and WG.

I just have a hard time seeing us remotely going backwards at all soon. Imo it can only realistically happen after LT or never.

I have a feeling the burned man will just be in a very convenient or logical location at the end of GL (being a WG employee or not)
 
Crocodile might try to drain the All Blue and Sanji fights to stop him.
Or Crocdile using Pluton is the perfect weapon to unearth the all blue.

Moriah is a man who fights with Shadow, if he can unleash his own Nightmare Moriah form, fighting a nightmare perfect for Usopp to truly show himself to be Brave.

Mihawk obviously maintaining his role and fighting Zoro in Mariejoa is the perfect way for Zoros name to reach heaven as he becomes the WSS
 
But not zero, which is what you said (he's "out of the question"). Just ask yourself: if Zoro doesn't fight Kizaru this arc, then he only has 2 options left.


No, thats not why he killed Ace lol. Ace died so Luffy could get stronger.


Bro, again, your "hair color" theory is broken because you have Zoro and Kizaru together, which makes zero sense.

And I could make the exact same baseless argument in the opposite direction since he wasn't huffing and puffing, while Rayleigh was.
There's no tension between Fuji and Zoro and Zoro always fight the 2nd strongest which is kizaru. Fuji is the 4th strongest.

The hair color is Zoro and Sanji have a gag rivalry so him fighting kizaru is like fighting Sanji. Oda can interchange between the 2 but kizaru/aramaki is already set for Sanji/kizaru.
 
Yes, he is Zoro's Biggest Struggle in this manga.



Even if there are Fights after Mihawk, Zoro will just walk through them.
I get the argument ,to show how strong he has become as the WSS ,he will show complete superiority to his opponents,but does it really make sense ,to have his final opponent and his last fight not give him the worst troubles?

I'm not 100% about that either.

But for me, just because someone comes later doesnt change established portrayal. Like Mr. 1 was the strongest person Zoro fought until Kaku. But ofcourse everything depends on what Oda draws.

But personally i'd like for his fight for his ambition/dream be the toughest struggle he's faced rather than someone he fights simply as the #1 lackey of Strawhat. Might be too much to ask from Joy Boy Piece mangaka though.
