Oda has a reputation for introducing stuff earlier on and then elaborate on them hundreds of chapters later, but this is ridiculous.
Wano country and its Samurai were introduced BEFORE One Piece even started, in "Monsters," a one-shot that is one of Oda's earlier works.

Former winter island, owned by the government, dragon defrosts and burns everything which is why it's still on fire. Maybe some parts of the island are still cold.

Yes, I didn't really like Fishman Island arc (I know everyone else liked it, but still), but it seems OP is getting awesome again :shades:

Oh and Smoker looks like a total badass now, I like. I'm really hyped about him finally meeting the Straw Hat gang again. Last time was, like what, Alabasta arc? Damn...

Screw them, it needs some Perona.


Shoutouts to Robin's outfit again.

Wait, my last theory couldn't work. There's a volcano on the island, so it couldn't just be the dragon's fault... Hmm, this is good :bee:

So glad Sanji + Nami didn't end up on the island. He'd be going gaga over the ladies while becoming dehydrated. Also, I like this concept of "splitting up." I wonder if Zoro is gonna get lost.

You might be right, I remember Zoro saying something like that after her won. I remember because Zoro's fights are always epic.

And I looked up the relevant pages, it appears to be...Wano Country?

I can't stand that look. I hope she gets rid of them soon. She should just cut her hair and get her bangs back.

And Smoker looks like Crocodile now, with his scar. And what's with the Marines being all brutal and stuff??

Marines have always been brutal. The very first arc in the entire series was Axe Hand Morgan abusing innocent people.

I hold onto my theory they were founded by a Pirate crew during the Lost Century and claimed to be on the side of justice to attract more crew.

i also didnt like fishman island

Anyway predictions.
1: luffy is going to punch or jump on the dragon and want to eat it
2: there might be a small short fight with the dragon b4 they befriend it.
3: luffy's dad might be mentioned, like luffy saying "my dad is a dragon" (but i doubt it)

Also the swordsman Moria had was from that country, but b/c he had brooks shadow he used a different sword technique then people from that country

i didn't like hody or decken, and i think strong villains are able to drive the storyline just as much as the heroes. hody and decken were terrible villains. hody and decken were both really pipsqueaks compared to the strawhats.

the queen, however, was a very respectable character so i really liked her parts in the arc's back story. i enjoyed shirahoshi as a character. i also liked the whole thing being a setup for luffy vs big mom.

Yeah, but lighting people on fire on-deck? From what we've seen of grunt Marines, they're not bad people. I guess that's G-5/New World quality Marines though.


Robin's outfit.

I admit I got a little fan-serviced when Zoro and Robin were going.

I'm a bad person



But because Fishman Island was easy-mode for the Straw Hats, it's hard for me to believe that half the crew will just be chilling on the ship till things get sorted out since we've only gotten a glimpse of their post-time-skip might. There's too much potential here for showing the awesomeness that will be the entire crew's new power under real stress.

Yeah, you're not the only one rooting for a Robin x Zoro. Though I am still curious to see where the relationship between Zoro and Tashigi goes.

I'm both glad and sad that Oda has decided not to bring love into One Piece like that. Mostly sad because of Robin x Zoro. haha

Well he DID hug her after all. I can't imagine what else that would be.

There was some sort of power struggle during that time, and it ended with the formation of the World Government. The Marine is just the Government's law enforcement body.
