Summary
2024 is going to be a massive year forOne Piecefans. Oda already confirmed that the Egghead ark will be ending sometime next year, which means that the Straw Hats will be embarking on yet another adventure that will bring them closer to their dreams.
There is a great deal of expectation from the fans, as they will be hoping that the Egghead arc has a solid conclusion, unlike the previous one. Given the fact that the story is in its Final Saga, there is still a lot that could happen. So here are some of the things that fans can expect from theOne Piecemanga in 2024.
6The Death of Saturn
Luffy May Kill One Of The Five Elders
St. Jaygarcia Saturn is the main antagonist of the Egghead arc. He traveled to Vegapunk’s island to personally ensure that the scientist never saw the light of another day. After being provided the information by York, Saturn journeyed to Egghead Island, where he was accompanied by Kizaru, several vice admirals, and a fleet of 100 ships.
Upon his arrival, Saturn wasted no time establishing his dominance and targeting the heroes on the island. While it may seem that the Celestial Dragon is under no threat, it is entirely possible that a new character might arrive on the island and help out the Straw Hats. Saturn is not interested in letting Vegapunk or the Straw Hats escape with their lives, so he will definitely try to stop them. If the heroes are helped by another character, it is very likely that Saturn will die.
5The Return of Doflamingo
May Join The Cross Guild
Donquixote Doflamingo is one of the best antagonists inOne Piece. He served as the main villain of the Dressrosa arc, where he terrorized civilians for years. After being defeated by Luffy, Doflamingo was taken to Impel Down, and he was kept under the watchful eye of Magellan. The World Government sent assassins to get rid of the disgraced warlord, but Magellan kept protecting him.
There is a good chance that Doflamingo is going to return to the fray in 2024. He may befreed by the Cross Guildor the Blackbeard Pirates. Since the Cross Guild is mainly made up of former warlords, it would make sense for Doflamingo to join them. However, Blackbeard might be interested in the knowledge that the former Celestial Dragon possesses.
4Straw Hats In Elbaf
The Heroes Will Go To Another Country
Since the Egghead arc will be ending in 2024, it is quite obvious that the Straw Hats will be making their way to another island. Many fans have speculated that the crew will visit Elbaf at one point or another, and that might become true soon. Elbaf is the land of the giants, and it is not affiliatedwith the World Governmentat all.
The island presumably holds many answers that could shed some light on the biggest mysteries inOne Piece. It is likely there will be a reunion between Nico Robin and Saul. The latter gave up his life to save Robin, and he was presumed dead for years until Vegapunk revealed that the giant had somehow survived the massacre in Ohara. Considering the island is under the protection of Shanks, there might be some more interesting interactions.
3Shanks Meets Luffy
The Biggest Reunion
Luffy was inspired to become a pirate because of Shanks. After hearing Luffy say the same words as his late captain, Shanks entrusted the young boy with the Straw Hat. Ever since then, the two have never met, but they did come close in the Wano Country arc.
This dream may become a reality in 2024 as theStraw Hats journey to Elbaf. The country is protected by Shanks, so he might be there when the crew arrives. If Shanks and Luffy do meet, it would be absolutely phenomenal. The emotions will be running high considering the past of the two characters. Also, there is a possibility that Shanks may fight Luffy, as both of them are aiming to claim the One Piece.
2The Complete History Of Xebec
The Truth About The Most Ruthless Pirate
Rocks D. Xebec was thecaptain of the Rocks Pirates. He was obsessed with accumulating power, which is why his crew was made up of strong individuals. Rocks was a powerful individual, and according to Sengoku, he was Roger’s biggest rival.
There is very limited information available about him, but that might change in 2024. Fans may finally learn about Rocks' origins, his powers, and what he looked like. The way Oda has been hiding details about Rocks has led many to believe that he is important to the story.
1Other Returns
Many Famous Character Might Come Back
There are many other characters inOne Piecewhose story remains unfinished. For instance, Gecko Moria’s current whereabouts are unknown. He managed to survive in the captivity of the Blackbeard Pirates, and then escaped from their clutches. So, there is a solid chance that he might make a comeback.
Eustass Kid was humiliated by Shanks and the giants of Elbaf. The cocksure Supernova was humbled by the Emperor, who used one attack to wipe out most of the crew. Since the Kid Pirates were near Elbaf, their fate might be uncovered in 2024.
Trafalgar Law, another member of the Worst Generation, suffered a crushingdefeat at the hands of Blackbeard. The Emperor of the Sea would have killed Law if Bepo hadn’t intervened. Following this incident, Law’s fate has been a mystery to the audience. This is something that the manga may touch on in 2024.
