@Aaronrules380:
Saying it could happen because its possible is an idiotic arguement. Oda could go into an arc where Akainu becomes a pirate, or make Dragon end up joining the world government if he wanted. So both of those are technically possible as well. However, being possible and being likely are two ENTIRELY different things, and the chances of those things happening is near 0. An arguement on fiction like this needs to be about what is likely, not what is possible
You crave attention, so here it be…

Argument is spelled this way, heed my advice well.
So, according to your establishment, saying that "x" could happen is an idiotic argument… Therefore, all the things you call "theory" and shit like that instantly turns idiotic. All the shit you call "religion" instantly turns idiotic. Frankly speaking, a theory of you even being smart is also idiotic...
Simple things like time will tell >> idiotic.
Answers will grow >> idiotic.
Life will evolve >> idiotic.
There could be life elsewhere >> idiotic.
Man can land on moon >> idiotic.
A generation can pass >> idiotic.
An underdog can win >> idiotic.
If you cannot see how fucking idiotic your statement is, where you come to assume that something being "possible" becomes impossible, then pray that one day some facility takes the time to educate your redundancies...
Well, let's continue and apply the "likely" statement.
Here's what we can already call fact... Perona is with Zoro (now) and in the future it is likely for Zoro to want to return to his crew... Preposition A: IS IT LIKELY FOR PERONA TO FOLLOW ZORO, as an expert in navigation? PREPOSITION B: Zoro needs no help. PREPOSITION C: Mihawk will instead help, leaving Perona's whereabouts unimportant... PREPOSITION D: question is not relevant.
Which is the likeliest of them all?
A: the plot device figure heading off to do what she's expected to do?
B: a left-field blast that has him learning how to navigate out of the blue?
C: the loner offering his help?
D: the retarded, yet least attractive choice?
I placed my bets on the first preposition because it was and has been the one that is longest running, and the most meaningful one.
[NOTE: Forgive me for excluding the Zoro + Mihawk + Perona choice, I have my reasons…]
If you selected "A" too, then you'll have a situation where she is now in a likely confrontation with the rest of the crew, again. What will happen next?
A: nothing.
B: they talk and interact.
C: she falls out of the panel as the manga transforms from one panel to the next…
D: no comment.
Again, when a character is brought into play (again), chances are likely to support that this character will talk to the other people... Especially when other options are as the ones up above.
Given that, the conversation can go in many different directions... Such as, she could befriend them. She could start some new conflict and become an antagonist once again, or even the idea that she could literally do something ELSE!!
What would be the point to re-introduce her as an antagonist once again after such a long absence? Therefore, I'd say that it would be obvious that she'd do a "Vivi" routine where she was once an enemy and the next a friend... A Robin routine/ Laki/ Heso girl from Skypiea with Shuu as her pet [name isn't coming to mind anymore…]/ etc.
So, if you are following, the likelihood of her being the tour-guide that Zoro needs could work in favor of helping establish a friendship between the SH crew and her delicate self. This would then lead to other results:
-The location that Perona will end up at,
-What she will be to the story,
-A closure to her significance up to that point in time,
Once she gets on the ship, which is what they plan on doing when they get to SA, she'll be moved forward in the plan, next to them… This is also a likely chance because of the significance of her "personal belongings" that were left on the ship-- why were they left there?
If they are likely there to assist in Perona becoming a traveling companion and a comrade to the crew like Vivi was, then it would stand "complete" and likely... If not, then Perona would have had a different purpose completely, and that money will have a different significance. Nonetheless, this is all hypothetical on the likeliness of what significance Perona has to the story, and what her actions represent. If it is true, then Oda would have planned this whole entire introduction from the get-go...
However, there are other options that could come:
-Mihawk takes Zoro and Perona.
This would change things to the point that the reader couldn't answer it with absolution because the reader would leave doubt, no matter...
Let's continue further,
Regardless of what you believe, the issue remains the same even though there is a time-skip; Zoro will naturally need help returning to his crew. Who will encompass him on his travels?
Two known solutions are there: Perona or Mihawk.
Many possibilities: Baboon figures out how to follow a paper, Zoro figures out how to follow a paper, Unknown character rescues the day, it is ignored like how Boa Hancock's snake lacked any reasoning or the other fishy examples in the manga.
The things that are likely, though, remain the strong two points: Perona or Mihawk will assist him.
Who wins in the end?
Mihawk hates other people, courtesy of being a loner... Mihawk thinks of him as a potential rival, equal. So on and so on...
Perona isn't a native of this place, at all... She doesn't live her, at all... She doesn't belong here, at all... Etc.
The likely solution is that she who doesn't live here must go... So, we've got a likely solution to base things off of: Perona will help Zoro.
What is likely to happen after this? They have to arrive on SA, it is unlikely that they stop anywhere else because the directional/navigational device they will use doesn't point in that direction, whatsoever... Therefore, it is likely they'll reach SA in two weeks, tops.
Where will they go? This is where different opinions can exist... Perona can disembark and follow her own path, especially now that she made it to see civilization... Perona can follow Zoro. Which one is most likely? You tell me... Both "Could" happen equally, because, he's a wanted criminal and she's not... Chances are he'll need her assistance. [I'm not being factual in my casual saying that she lacks a bounty… Don't push this moot point, though.]
Therefore, she could enter into the above mentioned situation; she could face a confrontation with the Strawhat Crew… Would that be likely? Probable, yes but "likely" isn't definite.
What we have now is a stopping point because the manga doesn't have information to go beyond this: a dead end occurs. The things that are "likely" from here on, depend entirely on personal taste, not supported by the manga.
Let's not stop here... For example, Luffy will need a travel fare from his current location to Amazon Lilly's Calm Belt... This is fact. Kuja can do it in about a week, that's also a fact. Therefore, it is likely that these two will work together to reach the destination Luffy must reach... Because of the lack of a better way approach. This brings up a new situation: Hancock could meet crew, so on and so on.
What I'm getting at is that it would ultimately bring up a rowdy reunion, full of several faces... Perona is likely to be present like all the other characters are...
So, we would then think rationally, which character would be most likely to join of all of them?
Chances are, Hancock wouldn't be able to join due to her island's condition... Yes, that's the likeliest of her episode. Other characters act the same way... Then we have Perona which is likely to travel with them because the place she ends up at isn't where she "expects" to find closure. Likely situation is the treasure and belongings will be used to assist in convincing her to come aboard.
Is it likely for her to "want" her stuff that she left on their ship? Maybe... Is it likely that if she were to go that far, and see those things there, she'd decide to board on their ship? Maybe... Then, the opposition would reflect that the crew would say "no" to her; which is likely now: "her helping Zoro being a fare ticket to 'x' island" or "her being rejected and left without closure on the side?"
I'd say the latter because people from Impel Down that returned gained something from being rescued...
We are this far, right... So, let's think of what happened at ID...
People that came from there ended up fighting in the war, changing the world... They did something again.
Right?
Perona was removed from plot, and is now able to come back, [which we assume is likely]… Will she be thrown to the side, and left there? Let's cite Galdino for a second, he was thrown on the side, but he wasn't left there--he appeared in the future on Buggy's crew. Mr. 1, he too followed the same situation, where he was left on the side then appeared in a different place much later.
Will Perona be left on SA just to appear much much later elsewhere with the character that she was left with? Hmmm... We've got Shakky, retired pirate. We've got Rayleigh, retired too. Then, we've got Flying Fish Riders and other minor characters...
The most likely characters to appear again would be the main cast, without any doubt... That same cast has her shit and its likely she may see it again... Furthermore, the likelihood of them finding "Moria" is fairly high in the future--which just contributes to this temporary journey becoming likely.
Do you disagree about the likeliness of this idea?
