@Claudio:
When will Big Mom be "redeemed"? Elbaf or Wano?
Is it terrible of me to think the whole Rocks plot is continuing on Elbaf? Like a lot of people already associate Elbaf with not only BM, but also Shanks (for some odd reason). Like what if all 4 Yonko end up there with the full Rock's crew on BM/Kaido's side? People already speculate BB or Shanks to have something to do with Rocks and/or God Valley.
Part of me wonders if Yamato might actually be the arc villain for Wano (we'll see) and BM/Kaido will continue on to Elbaf after gathering the other former Rocks pirates. Not to mention, there are apparently other Level 6 escapees/Silver medalists that escaped Impel Down 2 years before. What if they are the former Rocks crew that didn't travel with Blackbeard?
Gonna wait to see how Wano pans out but I'm curious if Oda only thing intends to remove BM and Kaido's crews this arc and then take down Rock's later. I know the arc is set up otherwise but I've been getting this eerie feeling lately.
Anyway, with all of this I can see BM getting redeemed and betraying their whole crew, leading to Kaido's and the remaining crews downfall while BB/Shanks become more signficant factors after that point. I'd just love to see all 4 Yonko together clashing
Basically the way I see the arc flow, maybe is like this:
Wano- Finishes both Yonko crews, Luffy fights someone (Yamato) who is stronger than a Yonko commander but not yet a Yonko. The Supernova all ally with Luffy or Kid, separate until Elbaf. BM/Kaido leave Wano for the Rocks plot/some motivation goal related to it. Allows the next few arcs to have more tension without Luffy being a Yonko tier pirate yet
Vegapunk- Considering how much it's been teased with Kuma, Bonney, Sabo, Caesar, Judge and the lack of Smoker, I can see this happening. Could be an infiltration arc with Sabo and Luffy only (he has his Vivre card), or a full blown crew visit, a small detour before Elbaf. Plus Bonney needs panel time and signficance. She joins Luffy to Elbaf after for X reason. Kuma is fixed, sets up the Revo's for the final war.
Elbaf- All 4 Yonko are there for X reason. BM/Kaido recruited former Rocks pirates to take revenge/achieve their goals. We get BB/Shanks relationship with Rocks. Urouge is also present, as are all the supernova and Strawhat fleet (maybe). Rocks pirates go down as a product of another chaotic War. BB/Shanks live to go on to the final war after this point. Weevil is part of this arc due to Rocks. Luffy beats a Yonko here or through some sort of concentrated effort with the Supernova.
Lodestar- Whatever needs to be done here, maybe Kid/Luffy confront each other and have 1 last fight.
Laugh Tale- One Piece, True History, etc.
Final War- at New Marineford/Mariejois/Fishman Island. Should happen after Laugh Tale, Roger couldn't do anything for the world because he was too early after finding out. This means that they need to use that knowledge for the final war. Admiral fights happen here, so will the WG stuff, Revo's vs. CP0 maybe, Luffy vs. BB in the end. I personally think Shanks will be the final goal/battle but who am I to guess that lol
Maybe Beehive/God Valley get touched upon too.
Just been trying to brainstorm what/how the next few arcs could flow nicely, but we'll see lol this is very likely wrong anyway.
