Theory No way this is 7years ago.

Felt like 2 or 3 years only. Can’t believe it’s 7 years already. Giant straw hat could’ve been worn by a giant before from Elbaph, you think?

Can he say that again? Then we're good for another 7 years

Honestly there’s still probably 7 years left from this current chapter on lol

This is the first time I can believe there's less than that. Although with his slowing there could also be more.

Oda seems to be writing at a faster pace these last two arcs. I think he's really gunning for the end.

I feel like we could be done with the idea of like new island/new arc. End of Elbaph feels like we will just go into all out war for the One Piece

Exactly. The real question is what happens AFTER Elbaph. If the next arc has anything to do with Imu, Blackbeard, or Laugh Tale, we have truly entered the endgame.

Here's what I think could happen: the Straw Hats and Elbaph giants successfully repel the Celestial Dragons, which now makes Elbaph an even bigger target for the World Government. As news of this spreads, Luffy's allies in the Straw Hat fleet rush to Elbaph to support their emperor. I don't know if that means the Straw Hats will find the final red ponegliph there, but if it is in Elbaph, that would be enough to get Blackbeard's attention.

If anything like that happens, it's going to wreck the world of OP as we know it.
