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.
