I agree that the supernova will return especially after all of the hype they are receiving after the timeskip.

For the East Blue chars, I think some of them will return in Buggy's new Pirate Dispatch Association. That is probably an organization to recruit pirates to fight under Buggy. Everyone under Buggy would get protection from the World Gov't.

Imagine the kind of chaos that would cause. Hundreds or even thousands of pirates, some more ruthless and stronger than others, getting gov't protection because of one man who in reality is pretty weak. The Association, if I am guessing what it is correctly, would allow any past pirate (Kuro, Krieg, Gin, Arlong, Foxy, even minor ones like Mikazuki or Yurikah) to return.
