The Egghead Island Arc is over.
(Spoilers ahead if you aren’t caught up with the One Piece manga).
Egghead was good, even if somewhat scrambled and a bit runny. We spent years anticipating Dr. Vegapunk’s official introduction into the series. Years waiting for the Straw Hats’s arrival on Wano. Now*, it’s time for the long-awaited Elbaph Island Arc to begin (*depending on how long Oda wants to focus on other characters before returning to the Straw Hats.). What can we expect? How will this newest adventure end? Can I successfully predict Oda’s actions?
Probably not. But, hey. Even broken clocks are right twice a day. Analog clocks, not digital, young’uns. Let’s begin with a whopper of a theory:
When it comes to theories I say Go Big or Go Home. The World Government has access to the Mother Flame. King Imu and his Five Lackeys can easily predict the Straw Hats traveling to Elbaph after being rescued by giants. It’s a done deal in my book. Especially, with how much Usopp and Luffy wants to visit the island. Former Vice-Admiral Saul is there. It’s gonna be a fun time in Elbaph for all. Yep…it’s getting blown the hell up.
- Dr. Vegapunk Stella Receives a Viking Funeral.
I’m thinking something like setting a small (giant version of small) boat on fire along with his body or burning his body at Elbaph atop a funeral pyre. Something inline with Elbaph culture.
- Shanks and/or Mihawk Backstory.
Are they Celestial Dragons? How much do they know about the Void Century? Were they in a crew together at some point? Readers want to know. This revelation could also connect to…
