[Discussion] Next Island after Dressrosa will be Zo. But where would you like to see the next Arc?

[Straw Hat Zoro]

While I am sure there are some that want the Alliance to go straight for Kaidou after this arc. I do not see that happening what so ever. The Alliance is still not strong enough even if they get a new crew member and the Mera Mera no Mi. I mean really think about it if it only took a small pirate alliance to take him down it would have happened already.

While having a meal with the crew, Law and Kin'emon talk about a place called Zo. Law reveals that his crew resides there. So that make the most sense for are next Island. But I don't think this will be the place for are next arc.

If I had my choice we would be going to the Wano Country:

Reasons for this:

1. At one point in time, Portgas D. Ace went to Wano Country and learned how to make a kasa, later making one for Little Oars Jr. It would be cool to see Luffy meet someone there that knew ACE.

2. Kin'emon was born in a place in Wano Country called Kuri (九里 Kuri?).

3. After his death, the legendary samurai Ryuma was buried in Wano Country. His legacy made him a national hero.

4. Some time after Kin'emon was born, someone robbed Ryuma's grave and made off with Ryuma's corpse as well as his sword, Shusui. This incident was considered a disaster that brought the country to its knees. When Kin'emon saw that Zoro had Shusui, he thought Zoro was the culprit. So seeing that the whole country might think this.

5. The mention of Wano Country reminds me that we, the audience, never did see Ryuma's full potential as a swordsman against Zoro, which I find to be very unfortunate. Perhaps a swordsman who was a companion, student, or even a descendant of Ryuma's shall appear, and deliver the impressive performance against Zoro that Ryuma was supposed to deliver (I am not saying that Ryuma was unimpressive, but he simply did not seem to be as awesome as I had hoped for him to be).

And then there's number 6 and I pray it happens.

6. ZORO FIGHTS THE SHOGUN!!! and yes that's my fanboy speaking.

But as you can see there are many reasons for this to be the next Island for the Next arc to take place. What do you all think about it and do you agree or disagree and if so where would you like to see them go.

tell you the truth this arc is boring i could barely read through the chapters

 

[Punk Hazard]

I too hope to see Wano in the next arc. It'd be a great chance to see Zoro fighting for real.

 

[CHE nen]

i want a Mihawk arc

Yeah, i kind of feel this way too, i hope it ends soon, or Echi needs to start working on Luffy's part in the tournament.

 

[Fodder#5]

It would be sweet to go to Wano for Zoro to fight and if Mihawk showed up, that would be epic too. We still don't know Mihawk's current relationship with Zoro or if he has an injury like Zoro does

One Piece is known for having slow starts(minus Punk Hazard) but it should get good sooner or later.

 

[Straw Hat Zoro]

I totally agree with you we still haven't gotten to see Zoro go all out 100%. I know a Shogun would bring it out of him and then we can finally confirm if the eye is missing or if there is something behind him keeping it shut.

Zo. Where we should encounter the newest Shichibukai , and then off to Wano.
I think the Shogun will defeat Zoro if he does fight him , do samurai have bounties?
I think the Shogun will break one of Zoro's sword but to show his respect for the young swordsman who gave the man a good fight ( i think the Shogun would win High Diff) he gives Zoro the strongest sword that Wano Blacksmiths could make

That all sounds awesome I like the idea of a new Shichibukai being on Zo. Also the idea of Zoro getting a new sword but I think he has a chance to win after training for 2 years with Hawkeye

 

[Pervy Wrath]

One thing: They're going up against Kaidou, not Big Mom.

I think the Zou arc will be a short arc, then they'll go to Wano. And the stuff you mentioned will be interesting. But Ryuma lived a long time ago, so we would only see a descendant from him. But it would be cool if that descendant would be the leader there and he would want to fight Zoro. There's not a doubt in my mind that Zoro will have to face the strongest opposing fighter in this arc.

But I also think the Wano arc will tie in with Kaidou as well. Don't know how, it's just a hunch.

 

[TheHokage]

Good idea I personally believe when they go to Wano Zoro will fight the Shogen...win or lose it's to early to decide but anyway I think a Shichibuki or a Yonko will attack the samurai...reasons I don't know but I can see it going down like that.

 

[ziggyZ]

My opinion for Wano:

Zoro rapes

You must be registered for see images

But this is a legit prediction

Spoiler

-Samurai see Zoro with Shusui
-Zoro gets arrested
-Zoro meets Shogun
-Shogun has the Wano's grandest sword (aside from Shusui) which is the Nidai Kitetsu
-Zoro recognizes the blade (since he has the Sandai)
-Zoro fights him
-Zoro wins High DIFF (not XHigh DIFF since that'd mean he must go Asura and I doubt we'd see it this soon)
-Zoro, proving his worth, is given the Nidai so he can achieve his dream (probably with a same kinda conversation he had with Ryuuma before Ryuuma died)
-Zoro now has three swords which are all of 'Great Grade's'
-Zoro promises to be the best using these three

I think Wano would make a great next destination....

I concur with the notion of Zo being tied to the current arc. My theory about Zo:

Perhaps Zo (known as Zou when translated) is home to the humanoid animals (Bepo and Pekoms) we've seen.
Also, Kaido has been accruing artificial zoans, what's to say that the 'issues' related to them haven't been seen before.
Remember the awakened zoan? What if the inhabitants of Zo were used as part of Caesar's experiments.
Or, it could be the birthplace of Kaido, whom isn't even considered human.​

Makes a lot of sense for that to be where humanoid come from. It would be awesome if that was the birthplace of Kaido which could tie in Zou and Wano together because Momonosuke and Kinemon seem to know more about Kaido then they are letting on. Wano seems to me to be like Amazon Lily in the way that they don't interact with the outside world. I dont see them being part of the world government which could be the problem. Maybe Kaido has taken over or wants to take over. He might even have it as a hideout or base for himself. The government could be prohibited from entering the country who knows.

I think One Piece has been less entertaining since the timeskip.
Fishmen Island - Mostly boring
Punk Hazard - Was good until it turned into the Strawhats running away from the gas for 50 chapters
Dressrosa - It's the start of the arc, so I'm not going to judge it too quickly, but as of yet it hasn't been very entertaining. Seems like just a typical shonen tournament arc with characters I don't care about.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not going to say One Piece has been bad since the timeskip, just that it has gone a bit downhill. There have been chapters that have had me on the edge of the seat (E.g. Luffy threatening Big Mom, Luffy forming an alliance with Law, Doflamingo showing up at Punk Hazard, etc), but most the time I can't get myself excited for a One Piece chapter.

OT: I would really like to see Wano after Zoa, I would be really happy if Zoro got some sort of new technique or something along the lines of that (considering that it is a land of samurai after all).

If Oda plays his cards right, this arc will be the greatest & longest we've got. The 'War of the Best' & EL arc will both pale in comparison TBH.

Let me just fix this for you....

I think One Piece has been incredible and orgasmic since the timeskip.
Fishmen Island - Epic action , a stage to see what the SH's could do, we learnt a lot of things such as admiral stuffs and ancient weapons.
Punk Hazard - Was good until the fight between Law and Smoker... Then it just got better and better
Dressrosa - It's the start of the arc, so I'm not going to judge it too quickly, but as of yet it has been incredibly entertaining , lots of new characters and plot twists in particular

There have been chapters that have had me on the edge of the seat (E.g. EVERY CHAPTER)

 

[Renpatsu Dei]

I also want Wano because I wanna see how Luffy does against swordmen. One of the fights I've wanted to see if Luffy againt Zoro nd this would be next best thing.
