Future's Future's Future Arc

It is interesting how Luffy's protagonist heroics are fundamentally different than the norm in myth/folklore/literature/entertainment. Normally the hero comes in, defeats the evil tyrant, and then fixes everything because they are on a mission from Good or turn out to be the mythic Philosopher King. Luffy instead is interested only in facilitating the people fixing their own problems, and is uncaring of what the people finally decide is right. As long as there is a party and his new friend(s) are fine he doesn't care if the people reinstate the monarchy or form a communist collective.

The lie of benevolent outside actors with no alternative agenda or expectation is made true in our Straw Boy.
There's a precedent for this, it's an archetype known as a catalyst hero. With their character already complete, their role is to facilitate the growth and healing of others.

The arc is almost certainly not taking place on Future Island Egghead. The Strawhats and some of SWORD are probably going to team up to save Colby, so it's going to be Pirate Island Arc, Rocky Port Arc, or whichever island they end up fighting at instead.

God I seriously wish chapters were easier to navigate on the SJ app. Like, separate the chapters by 50/100 chapters like they do on the Manga+ app and add the fuckin' titles or something, I have to rely on the Fandom wiki to figure out what chapter was what while using the app. Makes searching for specific scenes a pain in the rear end.

I get enraged every time I try to just read it online - the search functionality is really useless. Good luck if it's not a hot new chapter and front and center on the collections they show.

The anime just finished ch 1014 last ep, so 30 chapters away, which given the anime's recent pacing and use of recap episodes is likely 10-12 months away

I'm also fine if Franky keeps the new bulkiness but has a synthetic skin/body over it, which is probably the best I can hope for at this point. The exposed mechanical parts just look really awkward and also not particularly interesting, they're just spheres and blocks

Yeah but they also ~visit places from their memories~, you can tell by the trailer that it's not them being there the first time, they remember everything

e: people are speculating by some imagery in the trailer that other potential memories will be Enies Lobby and Skypiea

Okay, this is probably pretty good casting

Also confirmation of dubbed songs, but AmaLee is probably the best person they could get.

She was already a character in the show a while back (she was Otohime), but that's about as good as you could hope for. Still probably gonna see it subbed for Ado.
