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.
You basically didn't read then. I said that Oda proved to be able to work multiple characters in the same arc. We don't have to disappear with Law and Kid. He just showed that. We had Law plot, Kid's, Garp's, Sabo's...
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
Again you did not read. I'm saying about characters that were already on the current time but in another islands getting enough focus.
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.
Zoro was way stronger than Luffy.
Yamato will be just the same as Jinbei.
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
Again... They are being showed up without having to be together with main protagonists.
And yeah just like I said his story telling changed to the point where we don't need to have characters together with crew to develop their sideline plots.

Nobody could guess "Egghead" because the name of island wasnt never mentioned prior you dolt. Guessing "Vegapunk" being next after Wano is the exact same thing lmao, which I was doing myself for multiple years.
Elbaf can fit next because its literally the next fucking island, fantastic logic bro.
I never said that Elbaf doesn't fix. Just saying it is too obvious of a choice. Just like no one could ever guess WCI being next to Zou until the end of it. Everybody was vibing for Wano already.
At Sabaody we were ready to visit Fishmen Island but then we had the whole Marineford War and timeskip.

Lerrera, why do you hate Elbaf so much?
Nothing interested there. Lako Lama.
[automerge]1693883630[/automerge]
Kid will come to Elbaf as an enemy, as ally of Blackbeard. Law won't be there at all.
Fucking why? Kid will ally to Teach just because he lost to Shanks?
I bet Kid sees Teach just like he saw Big Mom, Kaido and Shanks. Enemies that he must take down and has 0 possibilities of allying to him. Unlike Luffy that is just a rival and his threats of battling to death with him are meaningless.

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
Good point I almost forgot since Oda is always messing up with his own timeline. He gave us very short time to finish. With that in mind we don't have time for Elbaf.

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
I'm already beating in going there for a chapter at most. Not a full arc. Even a small one like Return of Sabaody or Reverie.

Whenever Herrera says something won't happen, actually means it will happen.
Based on what?
[automerge]1693883859[/automerge]
Elbaf was pretty much confirmed next and there are still a few people who still think the arc won't happen.
This is just sad at this point.
Fishmen Island was confirmed next to Sabaody. Guess what happened?
[automerge]1693883980[/automerge]
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?
If you read I explained.
Kid was defeated in Elbaf. LOL. And he doesn't have Bepo to swim him to somewhere else. He can just remain there.
While Law was defeated next to Elbaf and Bepo is swimming with him to another place that can be Elbaf.
So the possibility exists.

Don't care much about elbaf and there isn't any way much to do except meeting giants and man marked by the flames(?)
I have high bets on Man Marked By Flames being at Lodestar more than anywhere else.
[automerge]1693884123[/automerge]
So let me get this straight, Kid and Law will have a mini arc in Elbaf instead of the SHs, who we have been waiting on for 20 years to go there?
LMAO
Maybe Law is not going there but somewhere else? Next Island? Maybe Lodestar? Idk where that shit is.

Wondering if Bepo had a place in mind to flee or just wanted to get away with law
I hardly doubt it. He just had survive on his mind.

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
Yes Kid situation is way too hard to imagine something. We saw him and Killer sinking and we are not sure what happened to the rest of his crew. Maybe someone there can still save them?
This is One Piece. I still believe Pedro will show up at some point.
