I don't really know where it's going... But I'm sure the big fight will not be on Punk Hazard. This arc is leading up to a much bigger one. And the main villian is either Doflamingo or Big Mom. I think Law knew that getting the thing to defeat a Yonko would piss off Doflamingo. I wonder if his real target is actually Doflamingo. Either way, the SHs will fight both of them, it's just a question of which one comes first. I personally suspect Doflamingo.

The children will be taken care of by Tashigi and the Marines, so they won't affect where the SHs go. Smoker will get promoted to be in command of G-5 after Vergo gets defeated, and he will still be a Vice Admiral. I don't know what Kinemon and Momosuke will do after PH. The SHs will not be going to Wano after PH though. We know the names of the first 3 islands of the NW, and Wano country isn't one of them.
