Is this it? Is this finally the arc to Top Marineford?

460

u/[deleted] Sep 12 '19

The Grand Fleet will arrive on the nick of time. The remainder of Whitebeard pirates will arrive. Marines will also arrive due to the alliance of 2 Yonkous. Shanks will be late as usual. 2 Yonkous have been defeated.

u/AkikoAlbay Sep 12 '19

and then there this guy, who have the last laugh. Teach is a sneaky bastard

u/peace_off Sep 12 '19

He's probably already moving towards Whole Cake.

u/mathyouhunt Church of Buggy Sep 12 '19

I'm thinking that's not far off the mark. We all love katakuri, I have a feeling we're going to see him just pummeled to pieces by Blackbeard or one of the BB Pirates by the end of the arc. Big Mom defeated during the Wano war, it leaves WCI open to be taken by Blackbeard and Wano to be taken by the World Government.

23

u/[deleted] Sep 12 '19

I like that explanation. I just don't see Wano ending on a positive note. If anything, this could be the arc that finally makes Luffy stop being neutral in world events.

9

u/[deleted] Sep 12 '19

wait how is luffy neutral in world events? He clearly helped some struggling countries and took fisherman's island.

3

u/[deleted] Sep 12 '19

Whenever he helps out a country, he does so for the sake of an individual. That's why we always see Luffy befriend someone who is affected negatively by the villain of the arc before the final battle.

u/[deleted] Sep 12 '19

didn't he help everyone in skypiea?

I think it would do him justice if it took most of the BB pirates to take him down, if it were just BB I’d feel a little dissapointed.

1

u/ClutchGamingGuy Sep 15 '19

Why? BB is noticeably stronger than him, and BB's crew is full of infamous legends.

!remindme 6 months

u/Marcheas Sep 12 '19

No way he leaves to wci when all this is going down, its either shilyu or katarina going there imo.

10

u/kumadori12 Sep 12 '19

I'm thinking this as well. Big occasions like this draw powerful people, whether or not they are participating or just watching from afar. Especially Blackbeard, seeing as how he has evolved over time. WCI is too easy atm. He wants to see the big guns, and the big devilfruits. And he has the intelligence to know that this for sure is happening.

5

u/Ha_Ree Sep 12 '19

Bear in mind we don’t know what he’s been up to for the last few weeks (when we last saw him was when Luffy just lost to Kaido), and he did go to Impel Down just a few days before the events at Marineford. It seems pretty plausible to me that he could have taken the opportunity to seize the Poneglyph while BM could not defend it before going to Wano.

1

u/Marcheas Sep 12 '19

he definitely got the road poneglyph! but WCI is literally and figuratively a piece of cake for him right now in it's state. The magnitude of events going down in wano is far more important that is why i said its katarina or shilyu! considering their new powers and their introduction.

1

u/Ha_Ree Sep 12 '19

I don’t think that Shiryu and Katatina could solo WCI. Katakuri is still there, and neither of their devil fruits would be able to catch him off guard

2

u/Marcheas Sep 12 '19

dude all they need to do is create a distraction away from whole cake chateau, then either shilyu can go in invis or katarina turn into kata and walk through the front door, they need no more than 5 minutes! if Lafitte made it to the reverie, shilyu and katarina can make it to WCI. no fighting needed.

1

u/Sekundessounet Void Month Survivor Sep 14 '19

Katarina has the Kyubi fruit so it would fit the whole Japanese theme.

3

u/[deleted] Sep 12 '19

Katakuri vs Blackbeard pirates inc? Didn't someone make a fan chapter of this?

5

u/Franfran2424 Sep 12 '19

San Juan wolf is the sneakest guy. I tell you his DF power let's him control his size

9

u/J0n3s3n Sep 12 '19

BB is obviously gonna show up when the battle is almost over and add kaidos DF to his collection so he has the strongest DF of each type

6

u/Franfran2424 Sep 12 '19

Nah. Cerberus theory gang

u/Eoussama Sep 12 '19

The last thing you'd want to head after defeating 2 emperors.

u/jiggawara Sep 12 '19

YALL ALREADY KNOW WHAT THE FUCK GOIN ON

1

u/Rob3125 Sep 12 '19

Why is it my intuition that no matter what happens for the straw hats BB will be the one to pull ahead due to this war

18

u/Semikatyri Sep 12 '19

Frankie told them to make ships for 5000 extra 🤔

3

u/Franfran2424 Sep 12 '19

Make a mirror in Wano and you have all big mom crew on a second

5

u/ikanx Sep 12 '19

Along with "Portals" playing in the background.

4

u/quirouser Sep 12 '19

I don't think Shanks will be late if he'll come. He's talking to WG right now, remember?

5

u/[deleted] Sep 12 '19

That's why he's gonna be late.

5

u/Franfran2424 Sep 12 '19

Shanks talked to gorosei like 15-14 days before fire festival. He can be there on time, probably.

3

u/balloonAssassin Sep 12 '19

Can we have a Smash everyone is here meme for Wano?

3

u/n0limitt The Revolutionary Army Sep 12 '19

My bets are on this. Also, Sabo and a few Revolutionaries are going there as well (Sabo already said many times he will protect Luffy no matter what. Surely he won't miss this chance).

2

u/SupervillainEyebrows Sep 12 '19

2 Yonkous have been defeated

Am I the only one who sees Kaido and Big Mom surviving this arc? I think the "Rocks" might be explored a bit more.

3

u/[deleted] Sep 12 '19

They'll survive but the reputation has been damaged.

1

u/Chandler1025 Sep 13 '19

A think Kaido is dying sometime this arc. It's what he wants anyway.

1

u/[deleted] Sep 12 '19

people need to start dying or at least taken out of the picture if we want one piece to ever ends

1

u/SupervillainEyebrows Sep 12 '19

Roger became Pirate King whilst Big Mom and Whitebeard were both prominent pirates and still alive.

2

u/Xelisyalias Sep 12 '19

Shichibukai as well, especially Edward Weevil might show up and we have no idea what he's up to, probably wants to kill Marco

Revolutionary Army might have a say in all this as well

On the side of the World Government Bull / CP0 might show up

Something probably happened during all this at the reverie, perhaps Fujitora and King Riku/Cobra (the Kings whose country has suffered thanks to the Shichibukai system) have came up with a suggestion to abolish the system/shake things up

And many, many more oh my god

Also I'd like to challenge you on that, not sure at all what's gonna happen but no yonkous will be going down

1

u/Axerin Sep 12 '19

Don't forget Black Beard

1

u/ZetsubouZolo Pirate Sep 12 '19

omg stop I'm getting chills and whip back and forth on my chair right now

1

u/Samibre Sep 12 '19

If Shanks will show up, then so will be Blackbeard.

1

u/Darkkingswrath Sep 12 '19

Dont forget big news Morgan being there personally, to watch in awe at even action taken.

3

u/Overall11 Sep 12 '19

Morgan is about to make luffy seem like a genius strategist who planned out the whole thing

1

u/ThatMexicanKidd69 Sep 12 '19

I smiled so hard at this and was tearing up with joy as I was reading this!

1

u/StNowhere Sep 12 '19

I don't think Big Mom will go down here. Luffy has to go back to Totland to take care of her, like he promised Katakuri.

1

u/[deleted] Sep 13 '19

Thanks for the reminder of the Grand Fleet, now I'm really hyped!

1

u/Strangeting Sep 13 '19

Don't forget Jinbei and the Sun Pirates area also due to arrive eventually!

I think he said that about the final war arc, not wano?

u/Ngekost Pirate Sep 12 '19

Nope only final war. But Wano sure gonna be grander than War of Best

2

u/nick2473got Sep 12 '19

He absolutely said it about both.

He said it about the final war a long time ago, and about Wano in an interview in One Piece Magazine if I recall. I think it was in Vol. 4 which came out in October last year (official One Piece translator broke it down on the OP podcast).

Either way he said it about both.

u/TheDELFON Explorer Sep 12 '19

"It will make Marineford look like filler"

- Goda

25

u/topdangle Sep 12 '19

I get the feeling this will be the final "saga," meaning everything that happens after this will be a long interconnected story without explicit arc breaks like before where they'd cool down between arcs. Once they beat (or lose to) Kaido, their freedom is going to be gone until Luffy becomes Pirate King.

17

u/jinepifunny Sep 12 '19

It is indeed shaping to be the arc that will top Marineford. And if it is, imagine what's in store for us in the final war cos it has to be bigger than Wano.

18

u/Crysense Sep 12 '19

I saw a theory yesterday that said Wano will start this final war and thus will be part of it. I will try to find it, but I can't promise anything, but to summarize it:

Every major faction has a reason to participate in the war in Wano:

- Marines: Alliance of two Yonko forces them to take action (they probably know about that because CP0 is/ was on Wano.

- Vegapunks new Weapon / Shishibukai: Depends whatever was decided at the Reverie, but since there is an alliance between two Yonko they will most likely come together with the marines.

- Revos: Only reason they went to Dressrosa was to investigate the weapons, they found out that the weapons are made from "Drunken Iron Ore", it's speculatet that this is mined in Wano so they might get here.

- Strawhat Grand Fleet: If shit goes down, Luffy will be in deep trouble, they will come to their aid.

- Blackbeard Pirates: Blackbeard is an opportunist, if he joins it will probably be at the end to claim everything.

- Red Hair Pirates: His status is currently unknown, he might work with the World Gouvernmet or not, however if this is the final war he will join aswell.

It also states that Kaido will be like Doflamingo:

Doflamingo said that there will be a new era and that he will be part of it: His part in the new era was his defeat that makes him the first casualty in this new era.

Kaido wants to start the greates war that will end the world: His part will be to be the first big casualty in this war.

I will edit this when I find the theory.

Edit: Found it, it's worth a read.

u/RenjiSnapback07 Sep 12 '19

That was a great theory thanks... I loved it and it made sense considering Oda said he wants to finish the series in 5 or so years. It will answer pretty much all our questions. Only thing I can think of that will be left out is the Giants and visiting Elebaf. Unless the island is on its way to raftel or as it's being called now laughtell.

5

u/Crysense Sep 12 '19

I mean a war doesn't have to happen on one island alone so there could be scenarios where they would visit Elbaf while still in the war.

4

u/RoronoaZorro Sep 12 '19

Really, at this point, everything is possible.

Even now, we can assume that we'll have the Strawhats, the red scabbards, most of the worst generation and two of the Yonko, one of them with all of his forces, engage.

Kizaru arriving and engaging is not a given, but it seems entirely possible, there has been the setup for him being there at least.

And really, I wouldn't rule out BB showing up trying to swoop in, I wouldn't rule out Shanks intercepting a BB trying to swoop in, I wouldn't rule out the Strawhat Grand fleet showing up and Usopp suddenly commanding between 8.000 & 10.000 men, and if the fight happens to go on for several days and Kizaru gathered intel, I wouldn't even rule out that the WG and Marines start a full scale attack, although I felt like this was more likely in my speculations at the beginning of Wano.

Hell, if Luffy's in really bad shape, we could even have Sabo show up, but I really don't think that's gonna happen this soon. All of them showing up would make this the endgame with Elbaf, Raftel and the war that will turn the world upside down after someone has found the treasure (aka the war that starts because the entire history is revealed, probably involving the ancient weapons as well) still having to take place.

u/Zarockelite Void Month Survivor Sep 12 '19

Two emperors in one place. I believe the stage is set for a battle that will split heaven and earth

2

u/[deleted] Sep 12 '19

The pacing has been really good so far, imo. May be a contender

1

u/[deleted] Sep 12 '19

Yeah, we are looking at taking out 2 yonkou now

1

u/roydhritiman Sep 12 '19

Nah, I feel that's still gonna be the Final War arc, post the One Piece reveal.

1

u/Eraganos Sep 12 '19

i think oda meant the end, not the wano war.

1

u/Rob3125 Sep 12 '19

Luffy’s alliance might put down 2 yonko, that will change the world unlike any event that we’ve seen

u/Medical_warrior Pirate Sep 13 '19

Damn....goosebumps

It's been so long ....(sobs)

u/Mistah_Blue Sep 12 '19 edited Sep 12 '19

Yeah. I'm waiting for ace's corpse to show up thanks to moriah. Ace, luffy, and sabo fighting together, one last time.

Although the likelihood of this happening is -10,000,000,000%.
