Forum:When will the Straw Hats get back together?

I'm calling it right now.

Chapter 600
Pros: It's the 600th Chapter. One Piece has hit 600 chapters! That's amazing! What better way to celebrate than to have the crew get back together! Cons: That's only five chapters away (at the time of this post we are on Chapter 595), is that really enough time for everyone to do what they have to do?

Jan 4th, 2011
Pros: The first issue of Shonen Jump for the new year. Start off 2011 with a bang! Gives plenty of time for the crew to grow and get stronger.

Cons: Too much time. That's not for another five months. That's a bit too long... Unless Oda decides to go on hiatus for a few weeks or something. D:

Those are my guestimates. When do you think the Straw Hats will get together again? --YazzyDream 15:28, August 8, 2010 (UTC)

Let's see, if 596-597 focus on how the other six crew members are training, then have 598 and half of 599 be exclusively about Luffy's training with the other half checking back on the rest of the crew quickly, then ending 599 with a caption like "They have a long way to go" or "It could be a while." That could introduce a time-skip, as long as the beginning of 600 tells how much time has passed. Yeah, I could see them reuniting in five chapters easily.--DancePowderer 15:49, August 8, 2010 (UTC)

i think that zoro and luffy are gonna get back to get together first, since they made it obvious that zoro was the only one not to get the message. and then maybe they'll do some kind of supernova arc type section :D
