Next arc possibilities.

[Kurigiri]

I'd like to see Elbaf next, for the little arc.
Maybe after/during the arc, Oda will connect it to Shanks or Blackbeard, for the big arc afterwards..

Foxy's threat to the government was completely negligible.

He was actually probably more of a threat to other pirates (by skimming their forces) than to the WG. I could see him robbing a Marine ship of men, but only if they played the DBF.

What I meant was that in One Peice the villains don't necessarily get stronger after each successive one. Crocodile was stronger than Foxy and Enel probably was as well.

Personally I think Buggy is stronger than Kreig and Kuro and maybe even Arlong, but thats just me.

[Darkestsith6]

Buggy is not stronger than Arlong at all.

What is it and people's infatuation with believing Buggy is something bigger than he really is?

Buggy would give Arlong a good fight. Plus it's highly likley Buggy is getting stronger just as Luffy is. He is traveling the GL after all and Luffy didn't exectly defeat him last time either.

Buggy is doing better than I expected. He's traveling the Grand Line which is feared in the East Blue. He's met White Beard in person also and there must be a good reason why Buggy could meet him.

[King Smack]

Buggy is definitely stronger than Krieg and Kuro. ~_~

[Duce of Transilvania]

Well i think there is going to be a little arc where they introduce some strong/important people. After Alabasta Oda introduced Flamingo and Kuma and the Gorousei and Whitebeard, after Skypia whe had Aokiji the strongest man in the Marines. There will be some shichibukai action after this, those five old bastards will send everything after the Strawhat's for what they did to Eneis Lobby.

I don't like jinbei and donflamingo arc to be anywhere near eachother. REason is because they would get bounties both arcs, and thas too fast an increase in bounty. But I think everytime there is a bounty we will see the big guns in OP like in jaya or when Mihawk went to shanks.

[King Smack]

I dunno why everyone talks about Doflamingo so much and not about Kuma. I mean, he just looks tougher and we know nothing about his powers. Obvoiusly controlling people can earn a high bounty, but like.. Look at Kuma, he's so mysterious and we know nothing! He'll come before I think

Luffy already had a run in with Bellamy.And we saw Donflamingo take care of Bellamy as well. We know he is planning to end the era of dream. and we also know Luffy doesn't like this idea, at all. And we know he is planning something. It is already revealed that Donflamingo is no a good person, and Luffy won't fight a good guy.

Kuma on the other hand, has some nothing. We don't know if he is an enemy of the strawhats or not. We don't know if we'll ever fight him. And some people are even predicting he'll join the crew. But is entirley possible he wll be a villian. Apart or toeghter with don.

but if they are toeghter then it is obvious don will be the main villian.

[sabret00the]

Jinbei will be the next major arc, they aren't quite equipped to go after Doflamingo yet imo.

[King Smack]

I think Kuma will come first as he is the one that we know so little about. I see your reasoning, but I just think Kuma will come first. Its like a gut feeling..

[unchipu]

What I'm wondering is why no one has said anything about the Red Line. It seems the SHs should be approaching it soon, and something big should happen there.

gyojin island is near the redline.

[Cr4zy]

What's Impel Down? Never heard of that before.....

[Robin Stjernberg]

Impel Down is the worst prison in the world. It's underwater and is located somewhere near Enies Loby.

[IT'S A LION!]

Kuma referred to Luffy as "now we have a target"
Meanwhile, luflamingo was farting around in Jaya with Bellamy.
Although I think it would be cool if Blackbeard took out Luflamingo. Dreams vs. dream-hater? That = cool.

[Rixile, Ketchup King]

I'm pretty sure we'll have a nice mini arc after this, a bounty hunter arc. Seriously, where are all the bloody bounty hunters? There hasn't been a prolifent one in the series yet. And I've got a feeling in the seat of my pants that good ol' Smoker should be popping up anytime now. Luffy screws with the government and Smoker's not there? Just doesn't click. He'll be back.

Next big arc though, I have a feeling it will be a new shichibukai. One of the weaker, unknown ones though. Not in Kuma or Flamingo's leauge. Blackbeard will show up in about two major arcs, I'll wager. Jinbei? Maybe he'll make a grand entrance at the end of the fishman isle arc (it'll happen soon)

Jinbei: Hey guys! What'd I miss?
Fishman: Dude, we got totally wrecked by these Strawhat pirates!
Jinbei: JINBEI SMASH!!!!

Ha! Mihawk will show up really late in the series, like in the end. If Zoro beats him any sooner, his dream will be fuffilled too quickly.

Wouldn't it be funny if at the end of Enies Lobby, Oda leaves us with a cliffhanger, and then hops into a Buggy mini arc?

[Prism123]

I'm hoping for a small elbarf arc, that would own.

[Juicy]

I don't personally think Jinibei will be even mentioned until after the Flamingo/Kuma arc. I agree with format of Water 7 arc-mini-arc-big arc(Blackbeard?)-mini arc, big arc(Flamingo/Kuma arc?).

During the first mini arc I hope to see a deeper background of Admiral Akinau. Even better, a confrontation between Akinau and Akoji at the Marine Headquarters concerning the SH's. If it doesn't happen in the first mini arc then I expect a deeper background on Kuma in the second mini arc. I still can't shake that feeling that there is more to Kuma's bible than meets the eye.
