[Predictions] One Piece Manga Chapter 734 Discussion and 735 Predictions

[Lili-Chwan]

Kinemon has no reason to join the strawhats. He already got what he wanted: to save his kid. He has purpose now. He has a goal, a place to return to, home. All strawhats are, in one way or another, misfits that don't have a home or friends or bonds except within the strawhat crew themselves.

Once this arc is over he'll return to wano with monosuke.

You're forgetting the reason why he and Momonosuke were out of Wano in the first place. They along with at least one more person, were on a mission. And that person is locked in Dressrosa (Or is it Green Bit?)

 

[Rainbow Dash]

Yeah Kinemon is not going to join the crew, he is pretty much the Vivi of the time-skip. Vivi was thought to be a potential crew member permanently considering she tagged along with the crew for a couple of islands (Little Garden & Drum Island), but then she decided to stop at Alabasta; her homeland. I foresee the same thing happening to Kinemon. He will simply tag along with the crew for one or two arcs, then leave when he the Wanokuni arc ends (assuming we get one).

Fortunately, Oda confirmed in an SBS, that the strawhats will definitely visit Wanokuni

 

[Olorin]

I wonder if they will ever go to Rommel, seems to be based on London

I would LOVE to see that, too bad there's not really any chance of that happening

Please tell me ppl aren't gonna make a thing out of that

Knowing the One Piece fanbase here on Narutobase... People will make a huge thing out of it. They shouldn't though because I think Doflamingo simply said Kin'emon is working with them. He didn't say he was a part of the crew. But some people will take things very literally...

Rommel just seems to be based on the UK in general. It would be very interesting to see how Oda makes a Rommel Arc (if he does), living in the UK myself it would be a great insight into how the Japanese view US. I hope we see a Rommel arc, for that to happen it would have to be a New World Island.

I think they will go to the wano kindom drop them off kinemon and momo and the other guy
but at first the wano kindom will be pissed with them cause zoro and the stolen sword.
kinemon and other will say zoro is something like the reincarnation of the sword old owner
i also believe that is one of the reasons why they left the wano kindom

The sword got stolen at least 7 years ago as Zoro fought Ryuuma at Thriller Bark before the time skip and Brook 5 years before the Strawhats arrived at Thriller Bark, potentially it might even be from before Momo was even born. I think it's highly unlikely that that is the reason for them to leave Wano if it happened that long ago.

And I think it's pretty obvious that Wano is going to play a role sooner or later as till now neither Kinemon nor Momo had any actual worth to the story. You could easily ignore every moment they appeared and the story wouldn't have any kind of significant change. So that can only mean that the reason why Oda added them still has yet to come. The fact that Doflamingo is very well aware of who Kinemon is, and even more surprising who Momo is, and Kinemon's weird reaction on Kaidou's name, indicates that there is definitely something more.

 

[Scorps]

I actually think that Doflamingo knows about Momo because momo was sucessfull in becoming a dragon-type fruit user with an artificial fruit. I don't read much into that. I assume he simply wants him back or knows of him due to the unexpected sucess of his "accidental" fruit ingestion.

I think there is more to the Momo and Kine connection to DD and Kaido, look at their reaction when Kaido was first mentioned:

[Scorps]

Hum...true. Indeed. Perhaps Kaidou attacked their land and they seek retribution? They are a bit simpleminded in what drives them...Mono and Kine-san. It could be something as simple as that.

it could but I doubt Oda would stress it as much (with Zoro and Brook observing their reactions) and than leave it unexplained if it was something as simple

 

[Scorps]

True. Its never that simple with his plot...

But they are driven by honor and such so perhaps they defilled their honor? Hum...now you got me intrigued...!

I'm glad I did

Problem with that is how is DD supposed to know that? Momo ate the fruit because he had been starving himself and couldn't resist, but this happened almost at the same time the Strawhats invaded the laboratory, there shouldn't have been much time between those two events and CC didn't really seem to miss Momo as far as I remember.

Again, true. Guess I was looking at it all the wrong way.

Then...why monosoke? He's a kid. What role could he play in anything Doflamingo might want? He's like what? 4 or 5 years old? Weird...

It could be possible that he knows Momo ate the fruit. Momo could create clouds if I remember correctly, and Doffy utilizes clouds, so maybe he wants him for that.

Potentially connected to why Kinemon took Momo with him in the first place considering he is a kid and all.

Unless I missed something, I think you are mixing up the theory that Monkey D Dragon ate a dragon DF (which gets always connected with the storm in Loguetown as supposedly controlling the weather is an ability of dragons) with Momo.

And DD only needs clouds so that he can use them to swing around, in that regard he might as well try to go for Nami.

I theorize that Dragon ate Uranus (strongest Devil Fruit), which is a Qinglong Dragon fruit. Momo's fruit is also theorized (by me) to be Vegapunks attempt at recreating it. That's why Momo is so important.

 

[Scorps]

But by following Cali's reasoning, Momo was already important before eating the fruit. Hummm....

And I also brought up the issue of how is DD supposed to know Momo ate the fruit? Momo ate that fruit because he was starving himself and since he ate the fruit, he has been hiding. There shouldn't have been relatively much between the moment he ate the fruit and that he met Luffy. So how is DD supposed to know that Momo ate an artificial DF by accident?
