My vote goes to Sengoku and Garps retirement vaction series then. Cause I really hope to see Buggy atleast in the next arc.
Cover Story Theories and Discussion
-
-
I still hopin for Moria's quest for power.
-
VDD deserves a coverstory, he´s hilarious
-
Hey if there is a Where are they now for Fishman Island, maybe Oda will show the Dojo.
As for the next cover story, if it is based on a recent event, then it's actually going to be happening simultaneously for the most part with the main storyline (Even without thinking the 4 day Party is a plot element, Oda hasn't established time passed from Fishman Island to Punk Hazard, so it's most likely simultaneous). I don't think it matters too much if he decides someone like Wadasumi's cover story or the kraken, but Oda could really use the covers to help set up the other pieces for the future arc (this is assuming the 4 Day Party is going to be important). For example, he could show Jinbe's route to the former Sun Pirates or follow Pekoms and Tamago and set up characterization for those characters and Big Mom during the cover story.
Heck, if Oda really wants, he could finish Punk Hazard before the doing the next cover story and base the next adventures on somebody there (depending on where the arc goes, I'm betting it's way more likely that a FI resident will get a cover story).
I'm down for a VDD side story though. I bet he'd have a fun cover story.
Edit: Dang forgot the fake Strawhats. Adventures of Cocoa and the Fox? (I doubt, but that'd also be maybe interesting depending on who were the kidnappers)
Or Caribou. Iffy on following him. But it's another possibility. -

-
The adventures of PX-1 is and shall always be the dream but like most people I'm seeing this next cover story feating a post TS character(s).
VDD and the Fake Strawhats seem like the most obvious candidates but I think it's a definite possibility that PH could end before the animals series ends leading us onto either a Kinemon goes back to Wano story or Smoker takes the kids back story (even if this doesnt happen next, these are definite contenders for the coverstory after this one)
-
The adventures of his jail cell?
Would be awesome.
I have seen a documentary about american top level security prisons. Apparently, the convicts are so fucked up that they throw their own excrements at the jailors.
Decken could do the same, and since he is still locked on Hody not even sperated cells can stop him!
-
Cocoa and the stray fox. COCOA AND THE STRAY FOX.
-
I wouldn't mind a cover story on VDD escaping prison (seeing how he's actually young and he wasn't in that shot of all the old NFP) and eventually finding his way into Buggy's fleet.
-

Bump, but relevant.
I do believe that the most likely cover story we're getting is with Caribou. Vander Decken seems like a likely candidate too.
-
Oh, Oda, why?!
I'll probably skim it, at best…
-
Who else agrees with me on this one?
We know Coribou is on Fishman Island, as Caribou told Shirahoshi that while trying to kidnap her..Ch. 650, Pg. 10 - "Looks like my brother's already brought the crew here to meet me at the port~!! So let's head off to the New World together!!!"
So, in all likelihood..The bulky silhouette on the left is not a mermaid, it's Coribou..
-
There's nothing to disagree with, though, since that's clearly Caribou…
-
Oh, Oda, why?!
I'll probably skim it, at best…
Haha why? Though, the guy doesn't seem to intersting enough to have his own mini-arc, unlike everyone else who did.
Though I'm still surprised Gedadtsu and Jango got their own arcs.
-
I wanna see the wonderful adventures of Apoo and his airship as a cover story :ninja:
-

I'd rather not as that would entail Apoo is not important enough to be reintroduced in the story in an epic way, like Law and now Kid.
-

Being epic enough to get a cover story though < u > hurr
obviously this should occur after he's introduced again XD -
I'd rather not have any cover stories or mini-arcs on the supernovae - at least not until they show up.
-
@400MillionBelis:

Like I said, after he has shown up and his arc is over and stuff (if he survives it)
-

Because Caribou was boring fodder and had no redeemable qualities, unlike Gedatsu and Jango…
-
It'd be cool if Oda did short cover stories of the Supernovas and who they take on throughout their journey in the New World, AFTER their Post-Timeskip introduction.
This way it seems like they actually do something and their bounties make sense, unlike pre-timeskip.
-

Ah I see now. It does surprise me that Caribou was even ever part of the Fishman Island arc.
-
i guess oda couldn't think of who-to-do. Although i'd have prefered van der decken, the only thing i can see from caribous is maybe finding out who 'you-know-who' is. Will it be doflamingo or could it be kaido or blackbeard. maybe it's someone new altogether.

You all fail to consider caribou has some important information to return to the person he was referring to. I'd much rather see a cover story that could be foreshadowing to a future arc and caribou's journey back to the new world than gander dickens pointless adventure. Although we might see vd so I won't rule that out.
Also @blackleg I don't think it's a matter of not thinking of who to do, in fact your third sentence states a very good reason of why to show caribou in the cover story.

http://www.mangahere.com/manga/one_piece/v59/c652/10.htmlI really doubt that.. There's obviously a reason we're getting a Caribou cover story, as you stated..
There's not a lot of people left he could have done anyway, and if he's planning on certain characters making an appearance sometime soon he's not going to give them a cover story.
-
He could always do the fate of the Fake Straw Hats.
…
well, at least Cocoa and fox thingy - though I'd rather have them stay dead after how annoying they we're in the Return to Sabaody arc.
Hrm; if we're getting a Caribou side story, wouldn't that have meant that the name of the arc would appear already beside it? There's still a chance that we won't get a Caribou one then.
--- Update From New Post Merge ---
Nevermind; it seems the same thing was done with Gedadtsu's cover story.
!
-
Gedatsu´s was great, tho i always wanted to see what happened with Shura, Ohm and Satori. We don´t even know if they shared the same cloud.
Back then my theory was that, and that Ohm was the responsible of Gedatsu falling to the blue sea:
"Shura: Gedastu…We do not like to be in your presence…
Ohm: DAMN STRAIGHT!
Satori X_X
Gedatsu: AH! HOW CARELESS OF ME! T_T"Made on Feb 2011, ignore the fail that is them having skypiean wings instead bilkans OTL

Oda failed harder.
That's supposed to be Urouge, who is obviously a Birkan in present day.

He got stuck in one of his clouds after the Chopper fight - he just seeped through it until he fell from to the ground way below.
Now that I think of it, Gedatsu's, Eneru's, and CP9's mini-arcs are the only ones that hasn't directly tied in with the Straw Hats, right? It would mean that Caribou's side story doesn't necessarily have to be part of the story line.
-
Oh, you´re right ):
-assumes he casually managed to get to another cloud, got beaten up, and was put with his fellow priests on the same cloud for the sake of a fanart i could hardly remember-
A lot of arcs aren´t tied with the SHs, just like Jango´s or Hacchi´s, and the ones you mentioned (i can´t remember them all) if not all.
-

i think what he meant was they havn't tied into the story unlike jango, hachi, buggy and coby who have all appeared in the story since there cover story ended. Barogue works has come in and wapol's been shown but not part of the story just yet however i think eneru and cp9 have yet to appear in the story not that they won't. The only odd one so far is gedatsu who just ends up opening a hotspring connected to alabasta so unless he ends up with vivi at some point in the main story (like reverie) which is unlikely his is the only pointless one so far

Still, I don't care WHO it is.
Whether it's Dicken, Caribou, or both of them teaming up to become an epicfailcombo! -

We have never seen a birkan child.

So? Why would a Bilkan child have Skypiean's wings in childhood?

That's most likely intentional and relevant to Urouge's background.
Also, notice that despite his Birkan wings, he was never addressed as a Birkan himself.
-

We dont know how their wings grow, we dont know when they grow to their full length and how, (because we havent seen a bilkan child) thus we honestly dont know. And as well we dont know if he is from one of the other sky islands. There are few possibilities, intersex between skypeans and bilkans, how does their hybrid wings look like. Could it be a mistake or an overanalysis by the fans or the third deliberately done by Oda.
-
pft oh u guys you so funny
-
The prospect of a Caribou arc is exciting, if nothing else other than the fact that we get to see his ass kicked over and over again.
-
Perhaps T-Bone in an old-school scuba gear will go down there and kicks his ass.
I don't even know how that came to my mind…

Because I haven't seen anyone say it, the "person" on the left side of the mermaid is not Coribou, but actually the legs of Caribou himself. Similar to how he tried to capture Shirahoshi.

Caribou's Kehihihi in the New World?
Bahahahaha! I always love Oda's titles for these mini-arcs!
EDIT:
So with Little Buggy, Coby-Meppo, Dance Paradise, Sea-Floor Stroll, (slightly) Meet Baroque Works, and Blackbeard Search having personally tied in with the Straw Hats, do you think any more of the cover story characters affect the Straw Hats?
Eneru's and CP9's seems to be likely candidates. Wapol will definitely show up in Mariejois.
Gedadtsu will just stay put at his Hot Springs for the most part. Unless he became a personal warrior for Vivi :ninja:
-
Jinbei is about to knock caribou the f*k out.
-
Most likely caribou cover story will let us see an island or two in the new world that the straw hats skipped so that's a plus. Also well probably get a hint at who the mystery person he was referring to is… We all know who it most likely is (rhymes with Lofulamingo)
Hopefully he does encounter jimbei.
-
God I hope he comes face to face with Jinbei! Would be interesting if Caribou's story transitioned into Jinbei's under sea travel to Whole Cake Island.
Still without Jinbei there are lots of possibilities with just Caribou. But I wonder, would he travel back to Shaboady with the mermaids or just try and sell them on the other side? If Doflamingo is his boss that would be a nice confirmation. Any chance for him to interact with World Nobles would be awesome as well. So I sure would like to see him sell off some Mermaids that would eventually get rescued in the main story.
