I do wonder if we’ll get an epilogue. Jump standard is A chapter. Granted if someone can do whatever it is Oda, and even showing “every island and organization around after the end war” would take 2-4 chapters at decks of the world style.
The final war won’t be shorter than wano, I’d think, just by the sheer amount of participants.
After all is said and done, two things still need to happen: the red stone of wano has to be found (and other than “not with the others” there hasn’t been any clues about it)
And what happens with the two unconcious emperors,
executing them is beyond the abilities of anyone still in fighting form, Kaido can’t even be drowned
the marines have no jurisdiction, cp 0 has other priorities,
the can’t be held on wano, even with sea stone they are super strong and the homies should still work even with big mom without powers,
and it feels too soon for Blackbeard to come and kill them, even if travel and motivation do fit and that was set up during one of the intermissions.
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
I’m on either big moms crew manages to help them escape, or Blackbeard cleans the table of the oldies, but with the rocks flashback and the other drop of big moms memories still pending, plus her tie to elbaf, it doesn’t feel right for the double murder to happen here.
Besides with everyone so fucked up, Blackbeard showing up, sneaking through the same path that moriah used, managing to avoid the marines and zou, to get into this land that would be a pirates paradise, with the infrastructure to keep on pumping weapons, and these incredible natural defenses, and not take it, feels now that I write it out loud , perfectly logical for someone who actually wants to get shit done, take what you need and move on, playing civilization when you should be playing sea of thieves is dumb.
Obligatory: where could the final red phoneglyph could be of any post that I do in this thread:
It was on fishman island, it wasn’t the zou or wano or big moms as those haven’t moved since Rogers time, and it should be somewhere still ahead. I feel like either shanks or whitebeard should have hidden it, but I can’t figure out a reason for it. I mean, no one took the other one, that should discount big mom, Kaido and the world government, as they collect them all.
