User blog comment:Kaido King of the Beasts/The Nature of the Zou Arc/@comment-9022101-20151209235440

Pretty good analysis. I honestly think that the current arc will focus more on Nekomamushi and Inuarashi, the history of Zou, and THEN Raizo and Kaido. It's interesting. It feels Skypeia-ish to me but has influences from overarching plotlines (Kaido, Raizo, Caesar and the underground). Past arcs like Skypeia and Drum Island have been more like isolated pockets with their own location-specific villains and histories. This arc, I believe, will be shorter (DEFINITELY less than Dressrosa) and will focus more detail on the Zou-specific story elements (fingers crossed for a Wanda, Pedro, or young Inu/Neko + Shanks flashback) rather than development of Kaido.
