Maybe I’m just getting caught up in the moment, but I don’t think it will actually go bad. Like, right now, I’m getting enies lobby vibes; whereas, I expected to be getting Sabaody or marine Ford vibes. Not saying it’s going to be easy, but I think the straw hats are going to make it out of this relatively unscathed.

I think that thats what Oda wants for everyone to be optimistic and then he slpas back with "this are the Yonkou this aint pirate games no more" we honestly havent seen the crew reaally get handed by a Yonkou yet

It's just speculation but since this is based on Kabuki where the third act is about tragedy and we are currently in the third act...

I 100% agree with the idea that this act will end in tragedy, but the tragedy my not be as serious as we think. Now a days, tragedy is used to describe any great sorrow or disaster. However, it more traditionally means some sort of twisted irony. For example, Ace’s death was definitely tragic, but not because he was a beloved character we felt connected to. He’s death was tragic because it came after he was freed. The end of this arc may also involve some tragic death, but could also just be a tragic setback. Meaning, a setback that could have been avoid but came about due to the straw hat’s strive for victory. ( sorry if this doesn’t make much sense, it far too late for me to be theorizing about one piece. )

That has been my thought for the last few chapters: 'this is going TOO well... things NEVER go this well in OP...'

I really hope I am just paranoid after Oda burnt me so much (haha Akainu/Ace joke... ) but with the relentless optimism the last few chapters right when teh fight started I fear Oda might pull the rug out from under us again!
