Its kinda a strange story arc so far, and its sad its coming to an end, but at the same time I'm happy. As I said, its a strange arc and when things are this strange its really hard to know how to feel about it. On the other hand, with the next arc Luffy heads out to deal with Kaido.

Once Kaido is dealt with, then we'll likely see Shanks.

Lol, I drew lots a few years back over if Shanks is a "D", as well as one for a former slave for kicks. It reminds me that a lot of my old fan theories are dated, old and ridiculous. I've YET to e fully correct on anything except once, and I can't even remember when that was. X-D

Still, the feeling that comes to mind near and at the end of the arc is kinda stranger, as the things you've learnt in said arc change your view and you can only guess what happens next. Some arcs are very different to the last or the next after all.
