I want to be out of this dragged out Whole Cake Island Arc and onto Reverie. I don't care if the Reverie Arc isn't completed by years end; I just want something different. I'm excited to see Luffy finally overcome Katakuri and the Straw Hats making a grand escape. It's great to have Jinbe finally join the crew. It'll be interesting to see what he can bring to the table in the future.

Still not sure if Carrot will become a Straw Hat, but I wouldn't put it past Oda. She's really come into her own this arc and that's great to see. Hopefully, Smoothie gets something to do in the future. Since this is likely the last time the Straw Hats will visit Whole Cake Island, it would be remiss of Oda to sideline her for the entirety of the arc.

As for the future, I'm just pumped for Wano. The all-out battle is crazy and exciting to think about. Especially considering the wildcards Oda might throw at us. Learning more about the state of the world, what happened to the Revolutionaries, how the Straw Hat Grand Fleet will factor into everything, Kaido's backstory and powers, Akainu and Fujitora's feud being explored, Aokiji's status; the future is filled with so much potential and I can't wait for it to be unveiled!
