Goku agreed to marriage as a child who didn't know what it was. Luffy explicitly said no

Same. This also kind of applies to the crew in general. The idea of them having kids just feels so...off.

Except Brook. It'd be amazing if it turned out Brook fathered some cool pirate who is now in their 50's and didn't realize it.

We still need to see Elbaf. Like actually have an arc there. And there are still so many things that we need to see like Lucci and the CP9 guys come back and I mean REALLY come back. Ditto for Crocodile and whatever he and Daz are up to now.

These are all bad ideas.

I think he is one of the few characters with first name first. Like Hody, Ceaser, and the Funk Brothers.

They are back though? We’ve seen them post-timeskip and everything as part of CP0, and if they’re hanging out in the new world they’re probably not scrubs.

Surprised that CP9 got let back into the fold. Maybe after the whole clusterfuck the WG realised that the Straw Hats aren't just another rookie pirate crew and losing to them wasn't a major sign of weakness.

CP9 was also the strongest iteration of CP9 in history or something like that, and the last time they sent a buncha marines to capture the ex-CP9 dudes the marines got completely wrecked.

Also if I recall CP9 wasn't tossed away because they lost to the Straw Hats, but because Spandam and his dad were trying to cover up for Spandam's incompetence by placing all the blame for the Enies Lobby mishap on them.

Not like there's much the government could do save sending Admiral or Warlord-tier dudes after them. Vice Admiral-tier dudes don't cut it unless you're sending someone like Garp, who wouldn't be inclined to agree to that stuff. CP9 is supposed to be a super secret organization cause they're sanctioned to kill civilians, and only exist in rumors, so putting out an actual bounty or some poo poo would just risk the truth spreading.

Given that the ex-CP9 members do have their own sense of Justice, the best thing to do was probably bring them back in. I assume Spandam's failings somehow came to light during the timeskip, either through additional mishaps on his part or because Lucci and gang made good on their promise to return.

One of the great things about the Enies Lobby arc was how seeing how each of the CP9 members had their own unique fighting style derived on specializing on one or two specific techniques among the Rokushiki and combining them with their own unique abilities (Fruit-based or otherwise).

Like Jabara with his moving Tekkai, or Kaku with his giraffe Rankyaku, or Kumadori using his hair to use his techniques.

poo poo was dope.

They gave Lucci a big cameo in Film Gold too, so theyre intentionally keeping him fresh in our minds even if its not canon

Rocks seems to be related to Bakkin and Weavil, so I think it will be main story.

I don't think they'd shuffle anything that has been mentioned so prominently off to a movie.

IIRC even Shiki was only mentioned in the vaguest of terms in the main series in reference to "only one person has ever broken out of impel down and that was decades ago". Most of the rest of his build up was in the special one-shot chapter.

In this instance you have Garp directly introducing the name right in the middle of a big exposition mini-arc where they are giving us more world building details.
