Edward Weeble: The 7th Shichibukai
Soon after the Going Luffy-Senpai departs from Dressrosa, Admiral Borsalino receives a report that a member of the Shichibukai, Whitebeard's alleged son, Edward Weeble, has killed off sixteen of Whitebeard's previous allies, while indiscriminately destroying anything in his path in the process. Weeble expresses interest in defeating Blackbeard, but upon being told of Doflamingo's defeat, sets out to find Luffy to gain a lead on the whereabouts of Marco.

The Moving Island, Zo
One week after leaving Dressrosa, Luffy, Law, The Barto Club and the presant Straw Hats arrive at Zo, an Island located on top of a gigantic, live elephant, where the rest of Luffy's crew and the Heart Pirates are waiting.
