Controversial Yall who says Elbaf is next arc

So Skip Piece is way different from Early Piece.

While Early Piece is heavily focused on main crew and additional side characters of each arc Skip Piece we have a different focus on side characters that keeps going with us through several arcs/saga.

Which is the case of Law and now Kid.

Law is with us since Punk Hazard



And Kid joined the alliance at Wano



When Wano finished the 3 of them set apart on their own meaning that their alliance is now over and they would continue their journey as enemies



Law explains that he is going the further while Luffy is going the shorter and Kid being in the middle. And latest events showed that Luffy desires to go to Elbaf(Kid's location) while Law and Bepo are also escaping to somewhere stil unkown.

Giving how those are the only locations we know that are next to each other there is a high possibility that Law and Bepo will also escape to Elbaf like Luffy desires to. That would mean that the alliance would be together again at Elbaf after all 3 of them suffered humiliated defeats (Luffy may not be really defeated but running is humiliating right? Is almost like a defeat since you are saying that your opponent was too strong to be defeated). So the same alliance that set apart at Wano to go their own ways were now forced once again to reunite themselves. Right?

But... That wouldn't make any sense? Right?

Why would Oda have them separated for 1 arc just to reunite them again in the right next one? When did that ever happened?

We have Zou's > WCI arcs that we had a separation of the Strawhats main crew where only some of them went to WCI while the others would already await at Wano. But that was prepared, desired by them. Not forced like now.

We also had at Dressrosa the creation of Luffy's fleet where they joined forces at that arc but they didn't showed up in the next one or the other or even now. Fandom came up with multiple reasons for Luffy's fleet to show up both at Wano and now at Egghead. But they didn't showed up at Wano and it doesn't seem that they will show up now since no communication was done(on screen but would make perfect sense for the incident being Strawhat's fleet taking care of Marines fleet).

So I ask you again... Why would Oda separate alliance only to have them together 2 arcs later? He wouldn't, right? It makes no sense! That's why I'm saying we are not going to Elbaf next arc. Oda showed this arc that he can work multiple scenarios in different islands and fans loved it! He doesn't need Luffy to be in the same island of Law and Kid to keep working on their journey. Just like Revo Army(which is a good candidate for next arc. Remember all about Kuma and Bonney that are with them now).

So that's it. We going to Elbaf now would mean once again reuniting the alliance which wouldn't make sense only 2 arcs later.

I have no interest in an Elbaf Arc. Going to Elbaf means that Oda will be drawing a bunch of goofy ass giants with terrible character designs. Don't we have enough of that in One Piece?

Years of build-up like Wano had just for it to be a disappointment. Imagine if Oda takes that as an opportunity to re-introduce Big Mom back into the story. LOL

This exact argument is why your logic doesnt work. We are at the "endgame" of the series and to have the expectation that Oda can follow the same "leave them be" design to characters disappearing and coming back after years does not apply anymore.

Regardless of them being in Elbaf or not, there is no rule that says characters cant leave and come back into the plot in 1-2 years

Hell, the entire characterization of Jinbe is something Oda has never done before. Pre-TS ally that was way stronger than Luffy. Doesnt join initially in FI, then joins at WCI, only to disappear for another 80 chapters before he returned as a Strawhat.

What "rule" does there have to be that Kid and Law "cant" show back up in the story in 40-80 chapters after leaving? Hell, the fact that Oda updated us on them losing only 10-20 chapters after Wano should tell you the storytelling method is changing

Elbaf is next bro, grow up:suresure:

I even wrote a thread about why Elbaf is an important arc, but I didn't post it
Because somehow this island was disappointing for me, but the events happening in the manga prove that we will go to Elbaf one day.
It may not be the most important arc of One Piece or even the next arc, but we will definitely have an Elbaf story:kayneshrug:

It’s literally been hinted at multiple times (Ohara flashback, Vegapunk’s request) and it’s their current goal at the moment.

Oda is known to throw curveballs once in a while. Considering all the buildup, we’re almost definitely going to Elbaf next. I don’t know of any islands that would make sense besides Wano, and the reasons for returning there are small.

Where did Kid, Law, and Luffy first team up? The auction house on Sabaody Archipelago. What was Mother Carmel doing on Elbalf? Selling people. Who's flashback was that? Big Mom. Who Big Mom? Kid and Law

This is literally the last point in the story where Elbaf can get its own arc, every other feasible place is either important enough to be part of the endgame or not important at all. Also, didn’t we see both Law and Kid get their shit absolutely rocked? What makes you think either one is showing up in the land of the giants like nothing happened? :kaidowhat:

Wondering if Bepo had a place in mind to flee or just wanted to get away with law

Kid literally got destroyed on the shores of Elbaf, not like he has anywhere to go and Elbaf is close to where Law was going

Probably not at the start, he was likely just concerned with getting away from where they were instead of finding somewhere specific. If they were running from a Yonko, especially that particular one, anywhere he isn’t is good enough.

Kid is dead, dawg, neither the residents of Elbaf nor the captain of the crew he attacked for at least the second time seemed inclined to pull his magnetic ass out of the ocean. Law may be close, but I’d guess even Oda knows there’s no utility in bringing him right back into the fold and therefore no reason to have him magically end up there :kayneshrug:
