Luffy will develope a new technique that allows him to be nearly invisible by using his fruit to make himself transparent rubber.
What would be the function of that? All the top guys have CoO and if he needs to become invisible he can just use Nami or Sanji.
That editor who gave the estimate could barely say his answer with confidence. His opinion is probably no more valid than Oda's. I will say though that just because we could be 60-70% through with the story it doesn't mean that the reaming 30-40% is locked in a specific amount of time. It could take 20 more years total to get through the remaining story and the time skip will always be considered the half way point.

I'm with you on this.
I think that if we think in "SAGAS" we might be 60-70% of the manga (more inclined to think 60-65%), though those Sagas might be long and with long ARCS like the Dressrosa one or even longer.
So far we have these sagas
EAST BLUE
ALABASTA
SKY ISLAND
WATER 7
THRILLER BARK
SUMMIT WAR
FISHMAN ISLAND
PIRATE ALLIANCE
We're currently in the 8th saga, and I think we will not exceed 10-11 sagas given that one is the OnePiece retrieval saga and one is the final war saga, there is maximum another saga after pirate alliance.
Still those sagas might contain 2-5 arc each and they might last more than Dressrosa.
With an average of 3 arcs per saga, around an average of 70 chapters each, it's another 700 chapters, which means that we would be at 70% of the story but 55% of the length of the manga.
Zoro has Conqueror's Haki.

Sagas, that's a good way to put it. You've worded it in a way that I couldn't.
Zoro has Conqueror's Haki.
Before I clicked the link I knew what we were going to see. For the future try not use the anime as a reference in the manga section, especially a scene that doesn't exist in the manga.
But… Yes, Zoro has Conqueror's Haki I am sure of that. Zoro's comments on Fishman Island and his battle with Monet have convinced me. I know 100 people want to jump in and question why he hasn't used it in a very straight forward manner yet. To that I say it just isn't Oda's way, kind of the same reason we didn't sea Gear 4th when the Noah ship was crashing down on Fishman Island.
Shanks was never actually harmed by Blackbeard, he just lied about the scars to Whitebeard to scare him off, a tactic used by Luffy throughout the series. Shanks actually got that scar from Buggy
Zoro has Conqueror's Haki.
I know it's easy to mistake but it still amazes me. Let me make this clearer, Haki can indeed intimidate people through physical intimidation like appearances (which is the weakest form of intimidation), through reputation, or just the presence - anything that results from the users spirit and their ambition (as in progressing through your ambition you require a strong spirit and you'll gain a stronger reputation and presence, in the case of the manga/pirates - notoriety). If you ever wonder why people are shown so tall and big in this manga? That's why. If you ever wonder why fodders are scared of the presence of big name Pirates and Marines? That's why. The key difference between Haki and Sakki (which is the killing intention/aura; blood lust - by the way, wasn't this stated in the same arc as that video? Particularly when Zoro encounters the Celestial Dragon and the Supernovae can feel his blood lust) is while Haki makes you fear and be intimidated by the individual, Sakki makes you fear of death, as in being killed by the individual which results into messing up the mind. As in.. anytime Zoro's used Asura, Zoro all throughout Sabaody, Zoro's display against Monet.
If you want to say Zoro will acquire Conqueror's Haki, then it's very likely he will but the evidence you showed isn't it.
Rayleigh having all forms of Haki is foreshadowing that both Zoro AND Sanji as number 2 and 3 of the crew will have each form of Haki.
Zoro will be more versed in Busoshuku Haki and Sanji in Kenbushoku Haki, but both of them will be able to use all 3 forms do different degrees.

3 conquerors in the crew?
I don't think so.
Luffy's crew will be stronger than Roger's crew by the end of the manga.
I think AT LEAST the power trio will have all the forms of Haki.
Do Sanji and Zoro have the quality of kings?
Sanji is the better cook in the World, and beside that there's still the Mr.Prince thing that might or might not have some deeper allegation, Zoro will be the n°1 swordman in the World.
I say both have the quality of kings/ruler/be supreme in something.
I would make a difference between leading and attracting people naturally and wanting to become the number one in the world in something.
3 conquerors in the crew?
I don't think so.
Just watch it happen. There was atleast 2 in roger's crew so I don't know why there couldn't be atleast 3 in the one that succeeds them.

I believe that at most would be Zoro.

I think it's extremely likely. As a matter of fact I'm guessing by the end of the series Usopp's lie will come true resulting in him using conqueror's haki.

Sanji is a leader, same way he does it now.
The special thing about Luffy/ or just pirate king could be that he is able to get even other kings(coc) under him. So he's like the king of kings.

That's a very interesting thought.
-Shanks(CoC) sacrificed his arm for Luffy.
-Whitebeard(CoC) was behind and supporting Luffy while Luffy was on the frontlines in Marinefold.
-Got Boa(only female revealed to have CoC) to fall in love with him.
-Defeated and got Don Chinjao(CoC) to serve him & help him against Doffy's Executives.
-Luffy then defeated Doffy(CoC) and got him on his knees one scene.
I think it's extremely likely. As a matter of fact I'm guessing by the end of the series Usopp's lie will come true resulting in him using conqueror's haki.
Everyone being a conqueror just doesnt seem right. It's unique however all the strawhats will have it. Of course the protagonist crew gets the best

If buggy ends up being Jack…...........
- Zoro will find out Tashigi is Kuina's sister and will give her the Wado Ichimonji. She will then tell him that Kuina's death was not an accident.
- Jewelry Bonney will be an ally in a future arc and then she will join Whitebeard's crew.
- Vegapunk will turn out to be from an ancient alien race and he will help the straw hats go to the moon to find the final ancient weapon (Uranus)
- Aokiji will betray Blackbeard and will be killed. His Devil fruit will be Blackbeard's third and final power.
I definitely like that last prediction…

Zoro is not going to give up that sword to anyone until he is the greatest swordsman, and even then it's highly unlikely.
I think so too, but Whitebeard remnants? What does she has to do with them?
Why does everyone think it will be in the moon?
It seems so likely that he will join on Shanks side when the crews clash and get killed along with them. Blackbeard won't get the fruit though.

I read a theory somewhere that Bonney might be Whitebeard's daughter and it made sense. She cried a lot when she got the news of his death. Maybe joining his 'family' of pirates will bring her peace.
There's a few indications that space plays a part in the story. The spacesuits worn by the celestial dragons, the satellites around the model of the world inside the library in Ohara, the reason Enel constructed the Ark Maxim was to go to the moon and then he went there in his cover story and found automatas, possibly built by Vegapunk.
Big mom is Cutty Flam mother. His father is shiki. She got big, due to binge eating when shiki went to prison. She was a passionate mom, but due to notoriety left Cutty at water seven. As a result of this she later became known as Big Mom. Her sweet tooth never died, shiki insulted her and thought she was a whale, she got so angry that she conquered a fouth of the new world.

People like to hype the yonkou up to much
Doffy was shown to be afraid of Kaido and the one piece fans think oh that must mean that Kaido is way way stronger than him. I think that's not the case.
My theory is that Doffy isn't that far below Kaido in terms of strength. No I think the reason he seemed so afraid of angering Kaido is not because he is scared of him but because his own crew is weak and smaller compared to Kaido's crew. He was mostly scared of Kaido coming to dessarosa with his crew and obliterating his crew and him
I'm sure Doffy can hold his own against Kaido in a 1 on 1, but when it's s full crew war his crew gets called then its Kaido and his crew vs Doffy. You can already guess the outcome

Well it may be even a combo as far as Kaido is concerned. We know from Moriah's experience with Kaido that he doesn't play around when it comes to taking on another crew. That may be why Doflamingo feared him so much, because of the fact that he knows that Kaido would make Dressrosa a bloodbath. I don't think it's soley because of Kaido's crew though. Remember, Doflamingo was creating fruits for his army. I doubt that Kaido threatened Doflamingo to manufacture it out of the blue. Once Doflamingo had Ceaser, the SAD factory, the Tontattas, and was producing the SMILE fruits, he probably approached Kaido with a deal, he accepted it, however should he do something to mess up this resource for his crew, Kaido will destroy Doflamingo and his kingdom.
I just realized that the Rubber Band Land that the Skypians opened to honor Usopp is probably a foreshadow of Luffy's awakening.
Blew my mind. =P
I think that nefertari family decided not go to mariejois because they wanted to protect the poneglyph.
And about the poneglyph jinbe found, i think there was a certain kingdom somewhat like shandora who was supposed to protect the poneglyph. And, similar to shandora they fought against the alliance, but the city/kingdom was completely destroyed and that's why the ruins were found at the bottom of the sea.
Knowing how there's sea kings involved, I wouldn't be surprised if the poneglyph is another letter from Joy Boy.

Doflamingo would have a hard time against a Younkou.
When we're talking about someone who is about equivalent as Whitebeard and Shanks, they aren't a joke.
If Doflamingo was written to fight more powerfully and him being the main focus, he could be hell of a lot stronger compared to getting beat by Luffy to move the plot.
But still not sure about taking on Kaido. Alone.

To be fair, they would be focused on defeating Kaidou in oppose to the other things they were doing on DR(gettin Ace's fruit, releasing Sugar's power) and half of the crew is missing due to this whole big mom thing…besides the fact the marines appeared with a lot of guys, 2 vice admirals and 1 admiral that gave law some trouble
Heart pirates would be by their side, thats something..
but i agree it shouldnt be that simple taking down a younkou, its way too early..hell, it was way too early to defeat doflamingo as you said
After the TS Luffy had now to take out a big villain, so Doffy was kind of perfect.
Just like after entering the GL, where Croc was the first opposing force to overcome, Luffy had to show all he had for the first time he entered this new sea.
Now after defeating Doffy, we know that Luffy post TS won´t have a problem anymore with under top tier fighters (taking out some DF abilitys that would make it hard for himlike Foxy, even when we readers know he is actually stronger)so because we are in the new world, Luffy has to go the next step.
That step is either fighting an admiral or a yonkou and following the story, all points towards facing a yonkou soon, because two of them have already took him hinto their focus.
This is out there… But it seems like CP0 are on their way to DR for no reason... I mean, right? Fuji is already there so WG should be counting on him to take down SH... Unless Fuji has already been condemned by govt for his failure and, in a shocking turn of events, CP0 are going to straight up kill Fujitora!! Game of Thrones style.
Thinking about the theory that in the end the red line will be destroyed and by that forming one united sea (One Piece) i always think we will get the scene, where Laboon bumps against the red line (just slightely, because he promised Luffy not to crack his skull on it anymore), when suddenly it crumbles.
Making that whale speechless and finally creating a way to see his family(and Brook of course) again.
When the crew has accomplished most of their dream and is getting ready for the final war, I have this image in my head each Straw Hat leading an army warriors around the world to do battle, bring others to their cause, etc.
Brook takes Laboon(and somehow his family) and rides like boss on Mountain Whales preaching the word of D.
Sanj leads a massive group of Okamas and reformed marines.
Nami flys around the world on a little cloud like Goku leading a sky island full of warriors.
Usopp leads the giants and little people commanding like the god he is!
Jinbe takes all able bodied Fish Man Warriors and a fleet of whale sharks.
Chopper, Robin and Zoro are a little harder for me to imagine. Well Chopper mostly but I can see Chopper getting major focus on some animal themed island or somewhere where his doctor skills put him on a pedestal nation wide. Zoro will probably have some major Wano development coming and Revolutionaries for Robin? I don't know.
I think everyone believes Enel will come back to the main plot one day. I do believe that too.
But how do you guys think that will happen? I was thinking about Maxim and it made me think about the Anciant Weapons. I know Maxim ins't one of them, but I guess it might be just as strong. Do you guys remember Deathpiea? Enel's plan was to use it to destroy Skypiea… and it would've worked if it weren't for those meddling kids. And the Ancient Weapons are said to be island destroyers too.
So I guess maybe in the final war Enel will come back an ally himself to Luffy's side (I guess... for some reason, I dunno) and use Maxim to counter one of the Ancient Weapons the Government might be using themselves. Who knows...
why does he need maxim when he already has uranus??????? :ninja:
Oi, leave my anus out of it.
Zoros resemblence with young Ryuma is not due to Oda being too lazy to draw a new design: on Wa No Kuni we find out that once Ryuma had a nice time with a girl, but when he left to get some food he couldnt find his way back.
Zoro has always been the rightful owner of Shusui.

I didn't even remember Ryuumas story.
But i also found that it was interesting that Ryuuma beheaded a Dragon and then so did Zoro in Punk Hazard.
Since Ryuka killed the last dragon that attacked Wano I feel like Zoro is going to killl the next one, whoever it is and whether it's a DF user or actual dragon (more likely the former), ofc if Kaido is the dragon then it most likely won't be just Zoro trying to kill it
"He stumbled on the last step, but he got up at once. 'He even took care to brush off the dirt that was stuck to his guts,' my Aunt Wene told me. Then he went into his house through the back door that had been open since six and fell on his face in the kitchen."
-GGM
That is actually one of the things that makes me think Kaidou isn't a dragon fruit zoan. I'd like to think IF Wano and Kaidou are related, and IF the Kaidou are if Wano, then I'd like to think that whoever Kaidou's right hand man is is a dragon zoan, and will fight Zoro.
You are on a quest to become the Pirate Prince, and you decide your fate!
I was thinking about hopefully Oda will show friend and family reaction again when the new SH bounties are released. I then remember Genzo's reaction to Nami's bounty, and that he was worried that she would get more stalkers than bounty hunters after her. I think that this is already the case. My prime suspect is Absalom. We already know he is in the New World reporting about the alliances under the alias "Absa", and he already tried to marry and rape Nami back at Thrillerbark. With Nami's next bounty rise just around the corner(most likely), her stalking would probably continue in earnest.

Zoro already took on the dragon on Punk Hazard though.

So many things already point to Kaido having a Dragon zoan DF though.
His design itself has only strengthened that speculation.
Personally, I'd love to see Zoro fight one of Kaido's commanders who possesses a preying mantis zoan.

I was trying to see if there were any clues as to what kind of Zoan the near-naked woman Sanji encountered could be. First thought was it would be really funny if Sanji fought a preying-mantis woman.
