Amazing blog really.

You could name it: "Dressrosa in a nutshell". All the info we need to keep for the next chapters are summarized here. This arc is clearly the most complicated arc so far, so you made a great job clearing things up.

Gonna comment some really nice parts of your blog:


 * The forgotten gladiators. For sure an amazing theory JSD. History of Dressrosa should involve a conflict between two factions. Gladiators and DD's team. Gladiators lost, most of them are forgotten now, some of them still seeking for revenge, either by themselves (Ricky), or by their descendants (Rebecca). DD managed to erase memories and Straw Hats gonna bring them back.


 * The toy who knows a lot. Oda fired his old narrator and now the toy have two jobs to do. I think he is a friend, he will help Franky to find SAD factory and he will give us the important plot of the island. The history of the place is important. It is the field. The arc's plot gonna be established in this field. No matter if the history is important or not in the long term, it is gonna give color to the arc, it is gonna connect things, which are currently unrelated, it is gonna help us to produce feeling in the last chapters of the arc. We know about these things, we met them a lot in this manga. That's how Oda writes and we all like the way he writes.


 * Sanji/Kinemon crossover. That's exactly what I'm expecting. Violet gonna trap Sanji and Kinemon will be captured with his friend Kanjuro. That trio will stay in a prison or something, and they will play a passive role on the arc, till someone accidentally help them excape (... call me Zoro). That's when the real action starts.


 * Zoro and his gang. Fairies or not, they should have an important ability. The ability to make people forget things. They should be used by DD to erase the memories of the citizens 20 years ago, they should use that ability to stay as undercover thieves. Zoro is too badass to be handled by them, they will help him find his orientation in the island and they will lead him to the right place the right moment. I'm saying it now, and I'll brag about it when it is revealed: "Fairies" have the ability to erase memory, they erased the memories of citizens 20 years before so they forget the gladiators and the things DD did.


 * The strange cabin boy. I would really be disapointed if Mocha or another child gonna bother us again. Aohige spoke about a childish accent, that's really the only clue we have, and it is not a good clue. I would like to see someone strong coming out of the cabin, but I can guess none. A brand new character is my guess.

I suppose the next chapters gonna evolve on this model: First of all we'll have one or two chapters showing what happens with the "side" plot lines, then we will have 3-4 chapters for Dressrosa's history and then some more action in the "side" plotlines. After 7-8  chapters we will be ready to see Block C fight. During side plotlines and history we will have some panels showing Cavendish hunting of Luffy and finally him get disqualified or gets beaten by a very strong character (not Luffy).

Sorry for the long post. I feel I wrote a blog in your blog, but you really inspired me JSD.
