The Zoro/Wano connection deepens...love it. Begs the question is Zoro now actually a descendant of a Wano citizen or just trained by one? Oda already confirmed I believe that a Wano ship stranded several decades ago in East Blue and the fact that Shimotsuki Village shares its name with the Shimotsuki clan, could be read as that the village was founded by the Wano refugees and thus that many of the current inhabitants are of Wano descent.
I'm also curious where Oda is going with this sword pageant? Even just after the time skip some people already theorized that Zoro had a received a new sword. Now personally I've always been against any sword-swapping at this point in the story as I feel it regresses Zoro's character and in particular when it concerns Shuusui as it was Zoro's most recent addition + he's been using it for two years with Mihawk to train.
Yet, in this arc, first Nidai Kitetsu gets introduced and now Enma? I'm getting more and more the feeling that Zoro will have to return Shuusui back to Wano at one point in time. It's strange though that Shuusui seems to be valued more than Enma, despite the reality that Enma is almost certainly of a Supreme Grade, thus of a higher grade than Shuusui.
Why are Bege and them going to Thriller Bark? Wonder if they'll find BB with it or if he'll have moved on.
Probably because that was the last place the Strawhats saw Lola and it's possible they still control the island. When Moria was beaten, Hogback & Absalom fled with a smaller ship while transporting an unconscious Moria.
