I personally believe every SH will have an arc with him/her as the main focus(or one of the main focus).

Wano- Arc of Zoro. Sub Arc of Tashigi and Brooke
Kaidou- Arc of Chopper
Big Mam- Arc of Sanji
Return of Shiki- Arc of Smoker
Return of Enel- Arc of Franky
Elbaf- Arc of Usopp
Reverie- Arc of Nico Robin. Sub Arc of Nami

What do you guys think?

I'm talking about the new world. All SHs had their own arc in Paradise.

Tell me each one?

Luffy-Marineford
Zorro-?
Sanji-?
Nami-Introduction/Arlong
Robin-Enies
Ussop-Water
Frank-Introduction/Water/Enies
Chopper-Boring Intro arc
Brook-Thriller

Most arcs are introductions too characters only character too have true development in multiple arcs are Luff, Ussop, Robin

Why is Smoker associated with Shiki? I also don't see Shiki ever being introduced back into the story for some reason.

It would be very sloppy for Oda to mention Shiki in the manga but never show him. Not everyone watches the movies. Shiki's return will happen simultaneously with the Rescue Tashigi arc in which I anticipate a Smoker flashback.

Tashigi is imprisoned for helping the SHs beat Kaidou and Smoker tries to convince Akainu to change his mind but he isn't listening because he is busy trying to make preparations for Shiki's second attack(Shiki attacked the WG once with his DF awakening but is stopped by Fujitora so he flees to come up with a new strategy).

Shiki will take his son Killer which prompts Kidd to go after him and BB will eventually kill Shiki. Its like out with the old and in with the new.

Sounds like a theory, especially Killer being Shiki's son, what? And I was expecting Smoker to fight Shiki does he fight him?

I made a theory about Shiki's return and his connection to Killer(doesn't mention Smoker).


Smoker wont fight Shiki. He'll fight Akainu(to get him to listen), Hina and Luffy according to my other theory. Shiki's return mans no back up for NW Impel down. The SHs and Smoker will be able to save Tashigi(and Bon Kurei) and book it.

Not bad I guess, though for an arc it doesn't seem very SH centric, then again they will be going back to ID, which is now going to be in the NW?

Smoker fight Akainu? How strong will he and Luffy be at that point?

Luffy will have the strength to hold his won against an admiral but be able to stratch one. Think Sabo vs Fujitora. Smoker will be on Luffy's level.

Believe or not, Smoker was pretty much made to fight Luffy, Akainu, Ace, Sabo etc.. Where there is fire there is Smoke. Smoker should have heat resistance and poisonous vapor. Smoker will push Luffy high at least in their final fight.

So they will be Sabo level. That actually makes since, this arc seems to take place close to the EOS but not quite correct?

The arcs I mentioned in the original post are in order.

After Shiki, its Enel, then Elbaf, then the Reverie, a short timeskip ad then the journey to Raftel, then the war with the WG and then final fight with BB.

Come on now, I believe current Luffy can stall an admiral.. At least whilst in G4. But of course he's not beating one any time soon

So you mean this is arc of luffy or just SH starting "The Real" New world Journey or We can also say this arc is like starting of downfall of CG. Also in this arc usopp get power of observation haki or some kind of new eye power for shooting the target
