How many normal volumes does this cover? And do they keep the SBS?

Each volume is about 200+ page long so, the math works out that it's about 103 volumes aka "All of the ones currently released"

That last line from Franky definitely reads as a foreshadowing to me now that we know that someone CAN, in fact, create humans from scratch.

So was giving PX-Hancock snake earrings something that Akaino signed off on, or just a Vegapunk choice? Either way, good decision because I thought we were going kid strawhats without them.

A couple of the kids from Punk Hazard do look quite a bit like those kid drawings, and the rest with a tweak to the hair color and a few facial features could also line up.

It's a stretch, but oof would that be dark but really good development.

e: Heres a new thought:

If the Pacifistas are stronger than thier originals then this might be a way for Zoro to have something to fight after defeating Mihawk. Although I guess its sort of conceptually lame for Zoros fights to go Mihawk -> Mihawk Again

I continue to maintain that Zoro isn't going to defeat Mihawk; that ship sailed when he bowed down and pleaded to be trained by him, because he was casting aside his own personal glory for the sake of the crew. Zoro is probably going to fight whoever defeats Mihawk (be that one of Blackbeard's crew or someone tied to the government or nobles), which takes the stakes a little higher and gives some plot relevance to the fight, because what obstacle does Mihawk actually represent at this point in the series, with neither character at odds with each other, Zoro comfortably in the top tier of swordsmen already and Mihawk trying to just get everyone off his back so he can enjoy some peace and quiet?

I think Zoro beating Mihawk, at this point, would feel a lot more hollow than people realise, like the dog that catches the car and isn't sure what to do with it now. It was important to Zoro's growth at one point, but what point does it have now besides checking a box that people are refusing to take off the to-do list?

Shhh... don't wake up the sleeping lion :3:

Zoro vs Mihawk is gonna happen in-story, but I'm not sure it's gonna be shown to the readers necessarily. The way the story's going Cross Guild isn't likely to end up being a major antagonist, especially cos they're not gonna rehash Crocodile as the arc boss. It's probably all Blackbeard and the WG from this point on, so when and how is Zoro vs Mihawk gonna happen on the way to the story's endgame? Defeating Mihawk specifically wasn't Zoro's dream anyway, it was to be the world's greatest swordsman and Mihawk was just a benchmark.

I think they're just gonna have a duel in some remote island off-screen that would last a week or something in the epilogue.

I think we are close to getting past the point where arcs just constitute a single enemy organization that the strawhats have to fight through one by one. We are more likely to get an arc with all the yonkos fighting one another at once over the one piece with the world government clashing against them all in the mix. Think of something less like Enies Lobby and more like Marineford in scope. So whatever happens at the end, Cross Guild is going to be involved in some fashion.

How else will Pirate God Buggy sneak the one piece out of laugh tale at the 11th hour while everyone else is busy fighting.

mihawk could easily ditch everything going on with the crossguild in whatever the finale arc is to just 1v1 zoro mid, it wouldnt be out of character for him at all

Let’s not discount the idea of Zoro getting such a rep that people start proclaiming him the greatest swordsman and Mihawk comes to seek him out again

I wouldn't be surprised if the reason Shiliew got the invisibility fruit was just to shank Mihawk at the last minute and become the new number one, giving Zorro a reason to fight him.

Sure but if the greatest died by being ganked doesn’t that completely deflate Zoro? Becoming greatest by default seems like anti hype

zoro defeats mihawk but isnt going to kill him, then mihawk gets stabbed while hes down, i guess? but after beating mihawk shiliew wouldnt really seem like much of a challenge
