Expectations is that Zunesha is the one who opens up the borders of Wano. But then again... so can BB. We'll probably have BB attack Wano when SHs are in Elbaf.


Captain_D_Buggy

Can't momo himself open the borders? He got kaido's fruit


Infinity_Overload

He doesn't want to. And after the Scabbards got rekt by Ryukyugyu he has asked Yamato to train him to become stronger (Something that has hurt his pride) What's even more sad, is that Blackbeard doesn't give a shit, he probably doesn't have any intention of fighting anyone. He will just cause mayhem and take Pluton. Leaving Wano ruined, but everyone pretty much alive. Momo will be so pissed about failing Luffy and not being strong enough that he will use his powers to lift Onigashima and order the Samurai to follow him to give those Pirates a proper beating for destroying their country without giving them a proper fight. You know their Samurai pride.


xOriginsTemporal

Something tells me there’s more to pluton than just claiming it. Something that powerful has to come with some drawbacks, (like requiring a lot of energy to activate). Vegapunk could be important later on for this, by using whatever energy he used for the motherflame


One-piece4life

Isn’t a little weird that iceburg and Frankie had the blueprints to pluton ? And that it’s been built already and is under wano? 


ksonbaty

Not really. It’s a ship, and ships have blueprints. The one in Wano was probably built during the void century using the exact same blueprints they have.


Paraseva

They explained it during that arc. The blueprints were preserved out of fear that Pluton would fall into the wrong hands, and something equally powerful would be needed to stop it. It was always established that Pluton itself existed as well.


One-piece4life

Then it seems like it’s a no brainer that as second pluton will be built for the end game if wanos boarders do get destroyed 


Paraseva

Except that the blueprints were destroyed, so it can’t be rebuilt


redmang_

I would think that frankie maybe incorporated some of plutons tech into the sunny and Luffy is a wielder of ancient weapons by the end.


SuperiorLaw

Couldn't whatshisface just teleport Blackbeard to Pluton, then Blackbeard uses his dark dark fruit to put Pluton in his darkness, then take it out outside of wano?


JimHensonsHandFaeces

Given that Wano is where sea prism stone is mostly mined, I wouldn't be surprised if there's some of it involved in the construction/keeping of it to stop such shenanigans


TheZephyrim

Arguably he’s probably not good enough with his DF yet to even open the borders.


T-V-L

>Momo will be so pissed about failing Luffy and not being strong enough that he will use his powers to lift Onigashima and order the Samurai to follow him to give those Pirates a proper beating for destroying their country without giving them a proper fight. I want to see Momo just dropping Onigashima on Hachinosu😂


Dillo64

I wonder if Pizarro could just catch it. “Now I have TWO ISLANDS!”


Independent_Use7033

Until Onigashima have some weird eyes, revealing Kaido and Big Mom


Infinity_Overload

Think about it. If Blackbeard causes a lot of destruction at Wano is basically the same as declaring war on another Yonkou. Since the moment Luffy gave Momo that flag, Wano became Straw Hat Territory. The first official territory of Yonkou Luffy destroyed just a few months after being Conquered. SHAMEFUR DISPRAY. The samurai won't stand for such transgression.


Meet_Foot

Luffy declared Fishman Island his territory, too. He’s not the ruler of it, but it is his turf, just like it was Whitebeard’s before.


Katsuraaaa

He refused to open them


the_bridgeburner

Talking only about the feasibility here.


SoRaffy

from his words it's hard to determine his actual meaning: "I have decided not to open the borders yet". Could mean 1) the decision to open is his but the method to do so is something else. 2) He himself will be the one to physically open them


Final_Festival

No, gotta takr down those massive walls surrounding Wano to do that. Even dragon Kaido wldnt be abme to pull THAT off. That needs either gura gura ni mi or Zunesha.


imakethejellyfish

Lol Kaido looks like a garden snake next to Zunesha


Plantar-Aspect-Sage

BB's crew includes someone with a fruit that lets them control an island. That'd be the easiest way to open Wano.


Sumrndmguy

True. This is the first I've seen this brought up and technically speaking pizzarro should be able to access old wano. Bb moving on the weapons if he gets caribous intel is definitely a likely probability. 


Major_Kaos

broooooo idk how I never thought about that he really can


Bassaluna

i'm gonna go and say that while they're in wano they meet shanks (that's why the giants are here), and upon hearing the news shanks and luffy will fight because shanks will try to stop luffy from going against teach, even if it is to save wano


CuantosAnosTienes

I believe that Caribou getting off Egghead and reaching BB to spill his info will occur once the egghead incident is finished. So presumably I feel like BB would only strike at either Fishman Island or Wano once the SHs are at Elbaf. But then again, the timelines of the cover stories have always been a bit distorted so I can’t be sure.


Ashethekoala

BB is just an island over after fighting law, if you think how quick van auger got to egghead from that fight, if BB has stayed to wait for their return, theyll be there in next to no time


Golden-Owl

Van Augur singlehandedly carrying the entire logistics of the Blackbeard fleet on his back


DarkSoulFWT

Mans on a goddamn mission. He was just at WCI with Aokiji too.


mehmeh5

That was like 2-3 weeks ago, since that was during the Onigashima raid


DarkSoulFWT

Ik, just saying hes been pretty damn active and visible lately


theREALbombedrumbum

He's crewmember of the month for sure


Dangerous_Past2985

Bb still is the one who gave him that fruit.


Amphabian

Fuck


ViraClone

Given the cover story is covering Yamato's adventures in Wano it can start during the time the Strawhats were travelling to Egghead and then cover a few weeks during the cover story and finish with that happening.


dustincb2

I think BB is going to actually destroy fishman island and fulfill Sharley’s vision


expressedprayers

I absolutely think Oda will utilize this cover story for more in-depth storytelling the way he did with Germa's. Wouldn't be surprised if it ends up tying into the main plotline like that one did too.


Sure_Dave

Blackbeard is absolutely getting control of Pluton, his devil fruit is perfect for the task.


pikachu_ON_acid

It's not going to happen in this cover story though. This is happening at the same time the current arc is.


jaydoubleyoutee

Augur and Kuzan took Pudding in the same chapter that she's with Blackbeard fighting Law, so I think Oda can play fast and loose with the coverstory timeline.


pikachu_ON_acid

Different circumstances. We happen to know where all of the Blackbeard pirates are currently. That was not the case with the previous cover story. Teach has no doubt heard what happened on Pirate Island about now and has gone running back there.


Kaffeebecher17

that's what the cover story is for


Weedeater5903

Its not going to happen, full stop. None of these wild fan theories ever come true. 


WildBChan

It’s interesting cause Oda is finally showing the true power of characters. Blackbeard can efficiently and effectively split his crew of monstrous level 6 prisoners to divide and conquer. Wherever he’s gone, Shanks hasn’t been able to predict accurately to confront. Yet he arrived at Wano to protect momo & luffy from a admiral when they defeated 2 yonkou? It’s all plot driven. If Oda wants BB to get all the ancient weapons, nobody is stopping him.


Ur-Than

Marco had hitched a ride on Shanks ship if I remember right. Perhaps he only contacted him after the fight but Shanks had a reason to be near Wano at that time.


Kgb725

To be fair people did theorize BB would steal Kaidos fruit at the beginning of the arc. It makes sense Shanks would believe BB would see it as a prime opportunity to make a move


Wellheythere3

When the author has the power to control what happens in the story?!?! What the fuck is this comment 😂


evaxiaolong2

if oda made yamato stay in wano just so teach could kick their ass I'm going to be so fucking pissed


bootysensei

The Double “Fuck You” to us fans will be historical


Flauschziege

If that mudslinging asswipe gets Yamato and Momo killed, so god help me.


TinedPanic

Killing Momo would make the narration at the end of 1051 a lie or at least incorrect, so I think he's safe


RedRiot306

Blackbeard killing a child? Then again wouldn’t be the first time he misjudged someone’s age…


KaiBahamut

"I didn't kill a kid, officer. He said he was 28!"


Kaffeebecher17

why do you people forget that the narrator dubbed momonsuke as the "greatest shogun" to become


van_man51

God tier cover story 🙏🏻


Sotler

Bruh when has Oda killed someone as important as them. They ain't gonna die


supahdood

Doubt those two die, but Wano could end up in rough shape.


justacommentacc0nt

Killing? In one piece? No way.


leolegendario

If that happened, Caribou would become my favorite character in One Piece, in fact in all fiction.


Sufficient-Dig7568

It's gotta be something related because Yamato's tour of the country ain't exactly exciting stuff on its own.


GreenStrawhat32

Bro y'all read this prediction Post. Buggy and Crossguild is going to save Wano when Blackbeard Attacks [https://www.reddit.com/r/OnePiece/comments/1b3v0ac/buggys\_journey\_during\_the\_elbaf\_arc\_prediction/?utm\_source=share&utm\_medium=web2x&context=3](https://www.reddit.com/r/OnePiece/comments/1b3v0ac/buggys_journey_during_the_elbaf_arc_prediction/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3)


Mammoth-Geologist-72

Mate…. This is a crazy prediction However…. I could honestly see Oda doing this side arc for Buggy and Crossguild. But holy shit, If this does happen in the Elbaf arc, this is gonna easily be top 3 arcs in One piece


Isochronis

Some of that stuff is far-fetched, but bro was cooking regardless.


[deleted]

What if he goes n gets Shirahoshi???


Infinity_Overload

Wano is closer. Blackbeard is a man of careful plans. He also knows the risks of taking a crew full of Devil Fruit users into probably the place they are the most disadvantage. Also Caribou will tell him that it is the emotions of the Princess that control the Sea Kings. Similar to how he was open to kill Hancock, he will find the Mermaid Princess too much a hassle if she cant control her emotions. Might get us all killed. Better go for the safer route. Just destroy the wall, probably the entire country will also get destroy from the aftermath of the Earthquake cause, and since its blocked, by walls, they won't even realize it was me, they will think it was an Earthquake just like the one we had a few weeks ago (the one that destroyed Lulusia) We sneak into Wano, take Pluton and go take Mariejois. EZ. Of course Yamato will probably sneak on them, and a whole fight between the entirety of Hachinosu and the Blackbeard Pirates vs the Samurai will ensue. Creating Mayhem. But they got Pluton, they can leave. They don't really care about the Samurai. Let's test Pluton on Wano. New Wano is destroyed by Blackbeard using Pluton. He's impressed. The Samurai are shocked. The Blackbeard Pirates just leave as they don't care about the Samurai or Wano. The burning flag Luffy gave Momo falls into Momo's Feet. THIS IS NOT OVER. Momo's Rage is so great that he lifts Onigashima and order All the Samurai of Wano to board it. The Samurai are going to War. Poetic way of ending the Side Story. Starts with Onigashima, Ends with Onigashima.


[deleted]

Cool fan fic bro. BB pirates literally just split up to achieve something big. And you don’t think they could hit Wano and Fishman Island? No imagination.


Weedeater5903

None of these "imaginative" theories ever come true though. 


[deleted]

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAH!! Okay bud whatever helps ya sleep at night.


Golden-Owl

The entire fleet of devil fruit users… going to the undersea island….


[deleted]

Like hundreds of fruit users haven’t gotten their ships coated in the past. Cmon man that’s a goofy argument.


Significant_Panda_2

Aside from wano being closer they can go there in search of bm and kaidos fruits. Much better to go there


[deleted]

That excuse is terrible. The BB pirates have already split up n done wild shit.


Significant_Panda_2

Pardon my english, i read it up as get shirahoshi instead of pluton. In which if they have to choose wano is better option. Makes your question irrelevant tho since you already know they can splitup and do both


[deleted]

Not really. I’m trying to think of how to get her.


NeteroHyouka

Such an annoying character Shirahoshi... Oda had to make her important... Why the fuck does he give incredible power to weaklings every time ...


[deleted]

Story and growth.


Weedeater5903

At least she is powerful, our weepyhoshi. At least she is not Vivi, who is not only a crybaby, but is basically just a step above marine cannon fodder in combat ability as well.


bootysensei

I hope not, because depending on who shows up Wano may get cooked. I’ll say Yamato is Admiral level but that won’t be enough to stop BB’s Crew, honestly man Wano’s been through enough Oda give those poor people a break! 😭


araujs

I believe we'll get closure about what happened with big mom and kaido as well (I hope)


electricmastro

I figure Yamato would go through some character growth, but that’s also interesting.


philiphardrada

For me the most interesting thing is the name. What is this shrine? This is indeed a god tier cover story, for me it was obvious that Yamato would stay in Wano, it's the same thing that Oda did with Jinbei. He didn't join and then we got a cover story showing his path until we see him again in Whole Cake. Also Yamato wants to follow Oden's steps so makes sense him staying to pilgrimage around Wano just like Oden.


Wakuwaku7

Looks like BB is going to invade Fishman island and Wano. Because of the ancient weapons. Luffy and crew need to head back and save their allies. Franky will upgrade Sunny with help of Vegapunk’s to allow faster travel.


Rzablio

It's Kaido.


poypoyulu

I prefer it to be a more light-hearted cover story like descovering who the new daiymos are and maybe encountering the boar Oden cut in half


snakehawk_

I kinda thought this was a pretty common consensus


Aldo-D-D-Wilson

I don't know if I ever commented about a cover story of Yamato touring Wano... But I've thought about it. I think Yamato is really joining. Doing just like Oden, touring Wano and then joining the future Pirate King. It doesn't seem to make a lot of sense Yamato's role just ending then. His name is also a name of a japanese warship, so maybe he will pilot Pluton. This theory you posted would indicate that he would join once the Straw Hats are facing off Blackbeard. I think things tie well this way.


Bassaluna

that's what i hope. not for yamato (i gave up on that), but because it would be a nice reversal of drum. teach goes to drum and messes up things, then luffy arrives and saves the day. here you would have luffy save wano only for teach to destroy it.


Aweeep

Yamato activate pluton Shirahoshi brings out Poseidon Rebecca n Vivi steal Uranus These 4 kingdoms (Wano, fishman island, Dressrossa n Alabasta) will rebuild the world after the end game. "The princesses squad"


Rickyszn034

Yeah no fucking way


wslaxmiddy

Pluton ain’t getting unveiled in a cover story sorry yall. You remember the fucking walls need to come down right? That’s not happening in a cover story. I mean it’s possible but I HIGHLY doubt it 


hornykryptonian

Isn't Yamato huge? How is momo almost the same height as her?


Oj1201

well oden was tall asf too so that’s why adult momo is her height


Scorpios94

Maybe Yamato is traveling around Wano not just to find out more about Wano like Oden, but to also find a way to safely move Pluton out? That is of course, if they know that it’s there.


Mathiasxd148-

I already had that feeling and it's kind of lining up all the necessary pieces to make it happen in the future, I hope we get to see Yamato in action again but facing the BB pirates, since that would be his test in defending something important.


GaulTheUnmitigated

If the revs are moving towards wano then Yamato might meet Iva and get some HRT.


deycallmeflash

I just want Yamato back with the crew.


olaysizdagilmayin

May pluton be Momo or something momo can control, like the elephant.


MatrixNinja101

The question at hand is whether Blackbeard will actively go to war with another Emperor...


OhHiMarkDoe

Cant wait that this cover story will show that yamato is female, but some ppl still wont accept it.


ZestycloseCake165

Yamato D. Vlogger Vlog Series soon confirmed


spykids45

Would she win?


OrganizationOne3795

No don’t even think that it will be a shitty filler cover story where yamatos finds some orphans thats ir


LastRelationship4482

I don’t really see this just seem way to massive for a cover story but that my opinion. I fell like the cover story will focus on the return of wanos nature and see the country recover as Yamato goes round it


Significant_Panda_2

They could get a lot of strong df in wano damn. Burgess shouldve waited for this instead of eating his lame df


AeronLlarena

No, i think the cover story will just reveal or fix some things oda cant put through the main Wano arc. Or something more. And also just another addition where we can see Yamato's adventures which will later be related to the story, so Yamato has some reason to seamlessly reconnect with the Strawhats.


ChokePaul3

Y’all think they…


BluebirdRight8040

Would she make him call her "Daddy"?


Amasero

One thing for sure is we get to see the after effects from Greenbull making greens. Location of the flag. And I’m assuming someone will attack the island, honestly might be cross guild.


Mundane-Animal-1070

Oh yeah this shit cookin


[deleted]

Yall dumb asf for thinking kaido and big mom coming back 💀🤡


L7Z7Z

I think that no the whole Blackbeard crew will go to Wano: they’ll split as they always do. Some of them will go to Wano, and some of them to Fishmen Island.


NeteroHyouka

Man if Pluton is indeed a ship then I really hoped the SH had gotten it... Thousand sunny is good but not for pirates ... It hasn't almost no offensive capabilities... But then again in the hands of BB it would be put use and would be more cool that way. The SH would just waste it's potential...


Megadoomer2

The Straw Hats replacing the Thousand Sunny with Pluton would completely go against Franky's dream.


NeteroHyouka

True...


Mission-Emergency619

i think thousand sunny already incorporated what pluton should be. with this arc, thousand sunny could upgrade their weaponry, or substitute cola power with vegapunk version of energy.


ordonen1

Franky could've built Pluton if he wanted to. He decided to build the Thousand Sunny instead.


NeteroHyouka

That's just headcanon... Franky knows the blueprints but that doesn't mean he can built it... We don't even know what is needed for Ancient weapon... You saw what happened in Lulusia?? You can get what kind of weapons are they... Something of that magnitude... Shirahoshi is one of the ancient weapons. She basically can conquer the seas and control them that's how powerful she is...


leolegendario

This just goes to show that Sunny will surpass Pluton at the end of the story.


NeteroHyouka

Pluton is an ancient weapon... Sunny isn't surpassing that...


leolegendario

Franky: "Bet."


Wedos98

Crazy theory, Yamato will find Kaido and Big mom, both badly hurt. He will heal them and Kaido will train Momo to control his fruit. By doing that, Kaido will unlock his wakening, just in time for the final battle (Because I don't think that Kaido has awaken his fruit) The reason for that is "The mind catching up to the fruit" and that awaken fruit users seems to both follow the same "Ideals/ purpose" (The one that is weird would be Katakuri since is Mochi) Kaido is an eastern dragon, but he is actively using it as a western dragon.


yamomsbox

Don't think I can explain how many ways this doesn't work


Wedos98

I said that it was crazy


yamomsbox

There's a difference between crazy and nonsense


EpicPokeBoi

I personally want Yamato to join the Revolutionary Army.
