One Piece is finally tackling the Final Saga and with each passing chapter, the Egghead Island arc continues to draw closer to its conclusion. It is only a matter of time before this arc concludes now, as it is in the final phase. As soon as this arc wraps up, things are going to get even more intense, and that is where the actual excitement will be pushed through the roof.

So far, Egghead Island has proven to be phenomenal for the fans, however, every reader of the story knows that it is only a setup for what’s to come. In fact, Oda has already set up the carriers of the plot following the end of the Egghead Island arc, and fans simply need to wait and see where the story takes them.

Monkey D. Dragon Makes His Move

Dragon Is A Key Player In The War To Come

Monkey D. Dragon is one of the most important carriers of the story in the Final Saga of One Piece. Dragon has hardly made any moves in One Piece up until this point. However, every fan of the series knows that it is time for him to actually go to war. In this year’s Reverie, Dragon declared his intention to go to war with the Celestial Dragons, and it is now time for him to actually showcase to the whole world how big of a threat he truly is. After the attack of the Revolutionary Commanders on Marijoa, the World Government will not be silent. They will most definitely attack Dragon and the Revolutionary Army soon, and this is something that Ivankov explicitly confirmed in the manga recently.

Our real battle will start when they mobilize…the God’s Knights!

According to Ivankov, the God’s Knights will be making their move soon, and when that happens, Dragon and his army will have to be prepared. Given that the Egghead Island arc is currently under focus, it is highly likely that the Revolutionary Army members will not be involved in the main plot. However, as soon as the story wraps up the plot points surrounding Egghead, things can move in other directions. One of the key points of view in the series after Egghead is going to be surrounding Dragon and the Revolutionary Army, and it is going to be absolutely crucial for him to fend off the God’s Knights. Fans will most likely see Dragon and the Army clash against the God’s Knights and it is likely going to be an incredibly intense battle.

Dragon is going to be a Pioneer of a better world from here onwards, and fans simply need to sit back and see how the World’s Worst Criminal does things. Above all, fans will finally get to see what Dragon is capable of, and the full extent of the powers of the Revolutionary Army.

Shanks And Blackbeard Move Closer To The One Piece

Shanks And Blackbeard Look Set To Take The Spotlight

The new Emperors are most definitely going to be a massive part of the story after the events of the Egghead Island arc. Of course, Luffy will always be central to the story, but the other Emperors are just as important right now. Every single Emperor is moving towards the One Piece, and that is no surprise. Luffy, as fans know, aims to find the One Piece and has already got three of the four Road Poneglyphs. Meanwhile, Buggy recently declared his intention to find the One Piece as well. Along with Buggy, fans already know that Blackbeard aims to become the King of the World, and at the same time, find the hidden treasure of the One Piece. Shanks, who was uninterested in the One Piece up until recently, has now declared his interest of going to claim this grand treasure by himself.

Hey Beck…isn’t it about time to go and claim it? The One Piece!

Clearly, all of the Emperors are now gunning for the One Piece, and after the events of the Egghead Island arc, they are going to be under a lot of focus. Shanks is one particular character that fans will see quite a lot of. Oda has always kept him hidden under wraps, and it is time for him to showcase what he is truly capable of. Shanks is deeply linked to Elbaf, and this is something that Oda has hinted at on several occasions in the story. More recently, Shanks was able to defeat Kid and his pirate crew outside the seas of Elbaf, and fans know that this territory falls under his protection. Since Luffy is headed there, it is only logical for him to meet Shanks and clash against him.

Blackbeard, in the meanwhile, is going to continue to make massive moves in the segment that follows the Egghead Island Arc of One Piece. He has acquired every single piece that he wants, and now, he is likely going to be in the hunt for the Man with the Burn Scar. Once he finds this individual, Blackbeard will be one step closer to the One Piece, and from there onwards, he will most definitely stand in the path of Luffy. More importantly, Blackbeard currently has Garp in captivity. He might want to trade with the World Government and push for the Pirate Island to be made an official country. However, whether the Government will accept his terms or not remains to be seen. Regardless, Blackbeard is going to be a massive character moving forward in the story and fans absolutely cannot wait to see how it develops from here onwards.

The Straw Hat Pirates Visit Elbaf

The Straw Hats Will Be Central To The Events After Egghead

Of course, the Straw Hat Pirates are always going to be a massive part of what is to come next. Luffy and the crew will visit Elbaf, where a lot of the mysteries of the Void Century will be uncovered. Luffy is the Sun God and the people of Elbaf worship the sun. That in itself makes Luffy very important to the Giants, and fans will most likely hear a lot about Nika in general in this arc. On top of that, Saul is also somewhere in Elbaf, which means that he will meet with Nico Robin, and likely deliver all the information that he has acquired over the years to the fans. If that wasn’t enough, then, fans should realize that there are also other elements at play in Elbaf, such as Prince Loki, among others, who will play a massive role in One Piece moving forward.

Of course, fans absolutely cannot forget the Cross Guild, who are causing all sorts of problems for the Navy at this point in time, and at the same time, the Navy themselves, who are going all out in an attempt to curb the influence of pirates on the seas. With the God’s Knights as well as the Elders now in action, things are only going to get more chaotic from here onwards and fans absolutely cannot wait to see what happens next.
