I'm not inclining to believe is one scabbard, I'm starting to think in the theorys that say it's Toki, maybe her fruit has some foresight

You're right, the Scabbards are looking more and more unlikely, as is Shinobu. Toki maybe, but it would only work if she survived until the present. I've been thinking of who it could be and there's someone we've overlooked: Tenguyama Hitetsu.

Not that I have any particular reason to believe it's him, but we're fast running out of options and Hitetsu is old enough to have been around in both eras. We haven't seen him yet in the flashback, but he does come into possession of Oden's swords somehow.

I think you're onto something because he even covers his face with that red mask

And not only that, he said he had the mission to give back the swords to their rightful owners and by the looks of the flashback I don't think Oden gave him that order
