With which ship Luffy, Law and the Strawhatters will leave Dressrosa?
Cavendish's Barto's or Sabo's???
I would say not Sabo's.
Cavendish won't drop the chance to tackle a Yonkou to get back his fame and Barto would not lose the chance to side with his senpai.
So the Kaido alliance will be 4 crews.
Eventually 5 since Drake will probably betray Kaido.
And by the way I don't think that shadow is Kaido's.
Also…Moria, we need a reaction from Moria, it's much overdue, as Luffy stopped the man that was designated to kill him and he's going to attack the man he crushed his dreams.
Anyway, I can't stop to point it out, Luffy knows his crew is under attack from 4 to 5 hours (in manga time), and as much as he trust Sanji & co, he will go to the Sunny as soon as he can.
Big Mom might or might not be on the ship, but I think that story wise if BM is on the ship, Lola won't be there and viceversa.
I think Lola will pop up after the bombs detonate.
In the end I think Big Mom will be an ally, after some scruffling, and probably she will give her life for Luffy.
I honestly think we will see some flashback in which there are Roger, Big Mom and Whitebeard and Big Mom will see the classic Roger spirit in Luffy.
While I don't see Kaido from the same era as WB and Roger, but in the same era as Shanks, I see BM being there from the Roger times.
As far as the Capone theory goes...I don't see Law trusting anyone but Luffy.
He trusted Luffy because he's...thick and "crystal clear", I think it's a factor more important than Luffy being a D.
I still say that there's a poneygliph in Dressrosa, probably in the Tontatta Kingdom, the passage of Noland is a hint imho.
Noland has big ties to the study of the Void Century or he wouldn't have popped out just cause after loads of chapters.
So far we had more backstory about Noland than Roger, so Noland story is part of the key plot.
Luffy and Law had a hell of a time to kick a shichibukai's ass (probably the strongest one, not in sheer power but in connection and stuff) so I wonder how the KHA allianche could go face to face with Shanks, when his best man could scare Kizaru.
Probably Red Hair Pirates' Monster Trio could face 3 admirals, so I wonder how 3 supernovas could go against them.
Obviously the 3 supernovas won't be obliterated, but I think there will be a catch.
We're always thinking that BB will take one of the Ancestral Weapons...I wonder if the KHA alliance won't get hold of an AW before facing Shanks, be on the verge of winning just in time for BB to appear and steal the win and the weapon.
Honestly I can't see another plot that would make every character the right justice.
Reverie is incoming...Marine lost their face big time, Fujitora won't be able to get Law and Luffy before the Reverie, and there will be big problems.
Riku, Neptune, and Kobra, probably even Elizabello and Dalton will be at the Reverie being 1/5 of the 20 homes.
A former celestial dragon, pirate and usurper dealt with every underworld illegal traffic with the complicity of the Marines.
The same Marine that is evidently cracking everywhere.
The WG is dealing the pirate agenda in a questionable and unsafe way.
In all this the Revolutionary Army will have gained some very interesting not yet released info from Dressrosa.
Bonney is on the run, respecting Luffy and Law actions (this is pretty clear even from bad translations thanks to the facial expression) and so far she's not even attempting to get back a crew, just staying in the shadows, hmm...
Smoker...I'm one of those wishing that Smoker will join the SH.
This chapter brings him close to Luffy more than ever, from here he can only get closer and not further.
Even because Smoker has been substituted in his work by Fujitora and he's not anymore on the league to chase the SH.
Urogue...I will like Enel to come back, but would he be Urogue underling? I don't think so, I totally say no.
So, what's up with him? Will Urouge be Enel's best man?
Kuzan...might be an undercover agent, it's possible.
In my opinion that would only make the Akainu character a lot better, and this last chapter prove that Akainu can be a much better character with guts and brains and not only a sense of blind justice.
Anyway what prevents now Kuzan from going back to his friend Saul's frozen body and take him out of the ice cage?
What would be the point of making a MARINE character a D. if he had to live only for few chapters?
Saul could have saved Robin even without being a D.
Vegapunk...I still think there are at least 100 chapters before we see him and he's tied with Caesar's fate anyway, especially now that the kids are brought in his custody.
Coby (and Hermeppo)...he has been missing after the time skip.
His trainer is more or less in retirement, he's not Ryukiogyu (whatever is written) because Ryu... has been conscribed, so what?
Will he join Fujitora? If he doesn't start to get hyped enough he will be a pointless character.
Then...the Shichibukai, the Gochibukai actually.
Will they be disbanded now, or 2 more will be appointed with the rank?
It's funny because at the moment we have an idiot, a princess, a robot, a loner and a very dangerous man, so the "organization" has no big reputation anymore even before Fuji's speech.
Only 3 warlords are feared and respected at the moment and probably the WG can blindly trust only 2 of them.
Whitebeard pirates...well, 2 years are well enough to mourn and lick your wounds.
Time to get back on something.
Probably it's revenge against Blackbeard.
If it is so, it could probably happen off panel, since it will be a massacre to justify BB crew getting valuables Devil's Fruits.
Who are Tsuru and Garp after?
I honestly hope it's Scopper Gabban, that would be one nice way to introduce him.
