Sanji Rescue Mission:

Her name is Purin/Pudding......why would it be Lola? I do see Lola definitely coming back into play during this mission arc, but moreso a helpful daughter of Big Mom that can vouch for Luffy, if it turns out that she's actually her daughter. Awakening doesn't seem appropriate here. I liken awakening to becoming a super saiyan, unlocking your bankai, or since it fits here, unlocking Gear 4th. Its a HUGE power boost, and as is the case with any power boost of the like, it only makes sense for the protagonist to unlock as a response to  experiencing an extreme hardship. In a scenario where he's technically not supposed to even be fighting like that, Awakening his DF here makes little sense to me. We haven't even seen him really cut loose with Gear 4th, and we know theres definitely more to that than what we've seen so far, so something like Awakening should happen way later after we've seen a more extensive range of his abilities after the timeskip. Finally, idk how, but I'm definitely leaning moreso on the side of a peaceful resolution to all this with Big Mom. When someone as a important to the series as a Yonko goes down, the entire crew has to be there to play their role. What's it say about Big Mom if Luffy can just show up and topple her with less than half of his original crew? With that said though, I do think that Luffy will befriend both the Charlotte and Vinsmoke families somehow, and walk away from this without starting a war. The war part is for Kaido for right now.

Find The Phoenix

What makes you think Zoro would willingly choose to go on a wild goose chase for someone he's never met before, when the alternative is going to a country full of swordsmen that screams his name? Now I agree with you in that I think Blackbeard will eventually kill Shanks, but he's not just going to kill Shanks like that. They're both Yonko bro. Its gonna be a full-scale war, and right now the full-scale war for Blackbeard is looking a lot more likely with the Revolutionary Army. If Neko's group clashes with anyone on the Marco mission, its been foreshadowed to most likely be the new Shichibukai, Edward Weevil. I also do like that you brought up Mihawk, because I think Blackbeard will prove responsible for his death too (Shiryuu). I think when the Red-Hair/Blackbeard war finally happens, Mihawk will lend assistance and lose his life in the ensuing fight somehow. When Zoro finds out, is when I think we'll finally got the backstory of what the deal is with his eye. As far as Jinbe goes, I agree in thinking that wasn't a road poneglyph. I do think Jinbe got it copied though, and will give it to Luffy at some point during the Big Mom business.

Wano Liberation

Absolutely LOVE the idea of Robin teaching Momo to read poneglyphs, but you really lost me at her getting killed by BURGESS. The hell is he doing on Wano after being within an inch of his life on Baltigo, with no idea how he got to Baltigo in the first place? Robin being kidnapped is definitely a huge possibility now given the turn of events, but after Water 7/Enies Lobby events it seems kinda played out. I mean Luffy can't really top declaring war on the entire world if it happens again, the epicness of a Robin rescue mission has kinda run its course. There's already a currently ongoing rescue Sanji mission that is going to take God knows how long. Lets chill with the crew splitting up after everyone gets back together on Wano, PLEASE. Lastly, you picked one hell of a place to reintroduce Enel into the story. Why the hell on Wano, and why as SHOGUN? Enel is extremely powerful yes, but saying he could subjugate an entire of country of Samurai warriors that makes even the WG think twice about going there is one hell of a stretch.

War Against Kaido

The ultimatum makes a lot of sense for the Kidd Alliance since they were literally right in front of him as he's introduced, but given how Drake was actually the one to seek Kaido out when this all started, doesn't seem as likely for his situation. Now while I will say I love the possibility of Luffy, Law, Zoro & Sanji vs. Kidd, Hawkins, Apoo, & Killer, I don't think  that's Oda's plan for the Supernova, to fight each other. I think they tried to fight him and got their asses kicked, or Kaido actually got the news of what happened to Mingo from them and then stormed off to do something about it. I agree with Bonney joining the alliance though, as well as Luffy and Kaido's fight being Marineford like in scale when it eventually happens. I see Zoro as the one to beat the Shogun though, seems more appropriate for him given that he needs to do something to earn/keep Shusui, and stave off the assumption that he stole it.



Regardless of how much I did/didn't agree, I appreciate you making a blog like this. I love when people try to put all the pieces together, helps with overall understanding of the series, and reminds you of little things that you could have easily forgotten.
