I was wondering.. will they ever end up making there way back to Luffys hometown? They should and those bandits are back but they had eaten a devils fruit or something! Now that'd be an awsome arc. And Luffy is thinknig of staying a bit to his island to protect it but remembers that he has to find One-Piece so they had out into a different direction… but they're already in the grandline.. so I'm not sure...
but what if they do return and they Shanks crew comes back to have a drink and see's Luffys crew once again?
