It was around chapter 600 or 601 when Usopp and Nami reunited and she basically asked him to upgrade her weapons. Around chapter 700 we get a quick panel of Usopp hammering away at something completely unknown and finally chapter 822 we see what it is! The magic wand Usopp talks about will be Nami's trump card in the stickiest of situations.

Reverie! Yabadabadoo!!!! I've been saying for years now that were given way too much foreshadowing for the next reverie to be happening after the crew finds One Piece. After Kaidou gets taken out would be the perfect time for that arc. The revolutionaries will most likely be weakened, an Emperor will be completely out of the equation, 3 of the current 7 War Lords will have been taken care of probably making it easy for Fuji to plead his case and we'll begin to see what could come of Queen Otohime's request to migrate her people!

With Jinbe fully joined by then, the Straw Hats crashing the meeting of the kings will give us a perfect opportunity to revisit guys like Stephy(was that the little punks name? Sabo's adopted brother?), who the king is in Goa kingdom, why the Celestial Dragon was there and specifically for Jinbe, Tiger's fleshed out Mariejois flash back! So exciting!!!!

I've had a feeling for a very very long time now that during the crew's meeting with Vivi this is when Robin will receive her 6th member chapter. For someone so near and dear to most of the crew I bet Robin harbors some guilt about her involvement with the near down fall of Alabasta. Once Robin gives her apology, expect her to start face faulting at least once every arc.

with caribou being a prisoner of Kaidou, I can't see the yonkou going down before the reverie... him knowing shirahoshi is poseidon has to come back somehow in the story.. my bet was on him telling Kaidou and the yonkou attacking the reverie, but it might also be a way to put him on Wano for some other reason.. we will see..but someone has to take that Intel from him

 

[Oxn]

Law and Zoro are gonna do big things. Just watch

 

[Anteater]

hmm no strawhats are going with the Marco search team right? I wonder what's going to happen there since Weevil was going for Marco as well.

 

[AgentLampshade]

My biggest takeaway from this chapter is that Nami is going to get a chance to use her new weapon in Whole Cake. Been so long since she's had a proper fight.

Watch her getting liquids on her face in a fight against another woman that is also getting covered with milky liquids.

Im just so happy we will soon see Marcos again. By soon that probably means within a year

yeah but he was actually targeting luffy at the moment, although he has no idea where he is at the moment

 

[dabig2]

that's something that adds to the possibility, but momo was also there, and so were all those other characters in the background.. as I said, it's a concrete possibility, the hints are there, but it's far from certain just because we haven't seen her this chapter

It's just the combination of a couple different things. The aforementioned volume cover prominence combined with the fact that she's been 1 of the key mink characters this arc, her hearing the initial plan of the Sanji retrieval and expressing interest in it (then gets scolded by Wanda), and now virtually every bit character in Zou was featured in this goodbye chapter except for her...it's all just a little peculiar

Not saying it's 100% that she stowed away, just that it's likely. And this gives Oda the excuse to have a cute mink girl in the story since it looks like all the others are staying on Zou for who knows how long.

 

[Luigi87]

Vivi!!


Also Nami's new Clima Tact is a rod that grows when she squeezes it.

... okay.

 

[whatsinaname]

Send Luffy to cake island.
Send Zoro to samurai island.

What can go wrong.

 

[Ganzlinger]

Also Nami's new Clima Tact is a rod that grows when she squeezes it.

... okay.

Eh, it's not just that. And that's a very good feature for combat, just like Goku's power pole.

 

[Oxn]

Zoro is gonna lead a wano samurai team!!!!

And Carue is back.

 

[ffdgh]

Oh neat nami has a power pole(hah), chopper showing off those doctor skills, and franky can make calling snails. Love the little things lol. Always nice to see vivi again.

 

[Anteater]

yeah but he was actually targeting luffy at the moment, although he has no idea where he is at the moment

ooo, just re-read that part, I totally forgot about that

 

[Syntsui]

Vivi will be back to the crew before Jimbei, lol.

 

[More Fun To Compute]

The staff that changes size at will is the most famous weapon used in the journey west. The monkey king also had the ability to walk on clouds although it is unusual to have Oda link Nami more directly to this character than Luffy. But I think people underestimate how central Nami is to the main story.

I want to see Franky's anti Kaidou weaponry. I hope that it's a swarm of Tontatta robots all armed with gaon cannons.

Carrot's hiding in one of those bags...

Look at the number written on Nami's pack then look at that chapter cover. Heh.

There happened to be a random monkey mink in the pannel when the pole extended.

 

[Cloud Strife]

just like bellamy back in Dressrosa was surely going with Luffy because of a chapter of absence.. or zoro was already going after Jack for the same reason

don't get me wrong, with that line a couple of chapters ago it's a concrete possibility that she'll try to tag along (albeit the panel with all 6 guys seemed kinda 'definitive'), but the whole ''we haven' t see the guy this chapter so something is going on with him/her'' it's another of those made up 'Oda patterns' that have been wrong more times than they have been right... for 2 weeks meadows was the yonkou Kaidou because it was absent in a 2 page spread...

NO MAJU YOU ARE NOT RUINING THIS FOR ME

 

[dr_mario]

FFS, I'd never have expected to see Vivi again! How great is that?! Hellyeah!

 

[Monochromaticx]

The upcoming arc is going to be great.
and Vivi is back (?) !!

 

[mrmickfran]

They packed up and left a lot faster than I expected.

Thank goodness for that.

 

[Cloud Strife]

Vivi next week or riot

Oh the Monkey King, yeah! Years ago before even the time skip I kept telling people that Nami would somehow be able to create an atmosphere comparable to Skypiea and one day be able to utilize the useless milky dial that the crew brought down from the White Sea. Then of course Nami came back and can just do it instantaneously so I guess I was half right. I just remember saying Nami will be able to ride a cloud like Goku. Someone went, "Nami's going to be the Monkey King? F Yeah!" Now you are reminding me of the size changing staff wonderful!

Also what do you mean the number on Nami's pack? You mean the 73 on her breast? And this chapter cover? I'm not making the connection.

with caribou being a prisoner of Kaidou, I can't see the yonkou going down before the reverie... him knowing shirahoshi is poseidon has to come back somehow in the story.. my bet was on him telling Kaidou and the yonkou attacking the reverie, but it might also be a way to put him on Wano for some other reason.. we will see..but someone has to take that Intel from him

I almost forgot about Shirahoshi and her role with Kaidou. I originally thought it would be a Big Mom VS Kaidou war to control Fishman Island and with it Shirahoshi but now with Kaidou occupying Wano I feel like that is going to be the definitive beginning and ending of Kaidou in the story.

Though I wouldn't be opposed to him trying to crash the Reverie. I just feel like at that point we'd be treading a bit of Marineford territory with the Straw Hats not at it's focus.

How about with the 6 on the flap.

 

[TheGreatDirector]

Carrot's hiding in one of those bags...

Yeah I noticed her lack of appearance this chapter too. I definitely see her stowing away on Luffy's team's ship.

I'm betting Zunisha is headed for the Marejois. It's one of the hardest places to access in the world which would make it the ideal location to have Zunisha wander towards for all these years.

Vivi is probably headed for Reverie. It's been teased for so long it only makes sense for them to bring it up around the same time the foreshadowed Revolutionary arc has been.

 

[Tathanen]

Luffy and co are just gonna land in the ocean and series over.

 

[Metal B]

yes,and theat's when pekoms told him that sanji marriage would make him part of big mom's crew,and that at best all of them would have become part of big mom's subordinates,but the yonkou had no interest in that
basically oda gave us that possibility ans shoot it down immediately

Easily solution to most of the problems of the arc? Sanji marries someone else. I can see his family being against killing one of there family members and specially a woman.
Or he marries the selected woman and Luffy has no other choice, but to take down Big Mama to get control over her crew.

On Zunisha, wouldn't she have already made it to the Red Line after walking for so long? Maybe she can only walk in shallow water due to her legs?

It's crazy how we still can't predict how this is all going to play out. How are the Reverie, Whole Cake, and Dragon v Blackbeard all going to play out?!

 

[Kain]

Vivi was so random (and welcome)

zunisha isn't going to a single place, at least not directly... it has been around for at least a millennium, it's enough to reach anywhere it wants by now
also, it said walking was part of its penalty

 

[jbug617]

So is Vivi going to Sanji's wedding or is it the Reverie?

 

[Majukun]

So is Vivi going to Sanji's wedding or is it the Reverie?

reverie.. it's a long trip from alabasta to marijoa

 

[Ganzlinger]

So is Vivi going to Sanji's wedding or is it the Reverie?

Reverie.

I think it doesn't make much sense for a royal family to go to a pirate's wedding. Even if the Vinsmokes are nobles (probably not) and Big Mom is powerful (like a gangster), I don't see royals attending the Tea Party. Unless Big Mom is also a royal like Hancock.

 

[marmoka]

Vivi is not going to the sea alone. The king of Alabasta goes too.

 

[smurfx]

so momo is staying on zou huh? i'm guessing one of the supernovas who joined kaido ends up finding him and taking him to kaido. that or another one of the calamities goes and gets the job done. at that point luffy will be forced to drop whatever he is doing and invade wano to get him back and go to war with kaido.

 

[Magwik]

I'm pretty sure Jack is dead

 

[Taborcarn]

I think the "I want to talk to the elephant more" reasoning for him staying behind is kind of weak, so he probably will end up being taken once everyone else has left and he only has a weakened Inurashi for protection.

It could even be Apoo that grabs him, since he was in contact with Jack and probably had an idea of his location.

 

[smurfx]

I'm pretty sure Jack is dead

hah wrote jack instead of kaido. i don't think he is dead though. not sure he will be doing anything more other than being fodder to hype up some other character though. wonder what are the chances sanji ends up at the reverie. i want at least one strawhat to be there.

 

[marmoka]

I'm pretty sure Jack is dead

Nobody dies in OP that easily, unless it's a flashback, or Ace, or Whitebeard, or Going Merry, or ... Ok, he could be dead.

 

[Syntsui]

Nobody dies in OP that easily, unless it's a flashback, or Ace, or Whitebeard, or Going Merry, or ... Ok, he could be dead.

I wouldn't consider that ''easily''. That blow could OHKO anyone in the entire series, specially considering he went straight to the sea, being an DF user and with no one close, it's hard to justify a non-death hypothesis.

 

[Cloud Strife]

Not really, he and Ginrummy are established characters with some plot left in them. Ginrummy seems conflicted about something, we know nothing about Jack's place in Kaido's crew or his past, how Jack survived against Doflamingo's convoy, Minks haven't gotten their revenge as foreshadowed by Dogstorm, there's a lot to play with. It'll take some magic, but they are definitely not dead.

 

[Firestorm]

Viviiiiii! I've been waiting for Reverie arc for so long let's get this started! Kinda worried too much may be happening at once but I also don't wanna wait two years to see it...

 

[RomanceDawn]

How about with the 6 on the flap.

Ok I see the 6. Still not seeing the connection. Is 6 in Japanese a word that sounds like rabbit or carrot or something?

 

[Ray Down]

Vivi, the 10th Strawhat? It's happening!!

Nah:

Jimbei will be the tenth member.

Ok I see the 6. Still not seeing the connection. Is 6 in Japanese a word that sounds like rabbit or carrot or something?

I think he means this:
-On Nami backpack there the number 6
-Currently there are 6 member in the Rescue Sanji group which already includes 2 minks.

 

[Jigolo]

I hope one of the female minks join the straw hat pirates after this arc

 

[ffdgh]

Nah:

I think he means this:
-On Nami backpack there the number 6
-Currently there are 6 member in the Rescue Sanji group which already includes 2 minks.

Besides...vivi is 5.5 already

 

[oreomunsta]

Wano is going to be so, so awesome D:

 

[Imperial Bishop]

- OH GOD VIVI
- Reverie is coming sooner rather than later. I bet right after Wano possibly.
- Didn't expect Momo to stay on Zou. It's not really the safest place to be if Kaido's crew know how to track it.
- I like Nami's upgraded climatact (and I'm sure doujin artists will too, because it's black and it extends ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) )
- Classic Luffy scaring the shit out of everyone with his antics. Reminds me of when he shoved them off of the courthouse in Enies Lobby
- Carrot is obviously in the bag. It is known.

Zou was a great arc.

 

[UnemployedVillain]

Vivi!!


Also Nami's new Clima Tact is a rod that grows when she squeezes it.

... okay.

Have you never watched Dragonball? Heard of the famous MONKEY KING legend where the pole came from?

Nobody dies in OP that easily, unless it's a flashback, or Ace, or Whitebeard, or Going Merry, or ... Ok, he could be dead.

Well we haven't heard from Monet or Virgo...

 

[Ganzlinger]

Well, Luffy is already going to Wano after getting Sanji.

Anyway, Momonosuke going to Wano or Whole Cake is even more risky. He is the most wanted person in Wano and Whole Cake is Big Mom's home and no one can babysit him there.

If he stays in Zou, besides Inuarashi, he can command Zunisha to destroy any ship that comes near.
