The whole point of the alliance was to take out the Emperors so they should be together until well after the Zou arc. They'll likely continue to stay together until they complete the map to One Piece. Emerje

Well okay, I'm not certain about it, but the way I see is that the next Saga will be all about taking down the Four Emperors, so a 'Four Emperors Saga' would form. Of course the Pirate Alliance remains, but the Straw Hats now have allies besides pirates as well.

That's just the way I see it though.

It still amazes me how Oda can keep a behemoth like One Piece still going strong with plot twists and amazing storylines, while you see mangas like Bleach where the story, characters and everything just implodes on itself and it becomes a mess of a manga. At least Naruto ended at a point where it was about to get too ridiculous and drawn-out. No shonen has One Piece beat, really.

To be fair, the latest Bleach arc covered almost all of the plot holes and hidden foreshadowing since the beginning of the manga (with the exception of some plot convinience and asspulls here and there). The quality is pretty nice nowdays in there (while Naruto was pretty good until the last arc, where tons of undescribable bullshit happened to the very end of it).

It's been pretty shitty lately man, last good "mini arc" was when Yamamoto was fighting Yuha and that was quite a while ago.

OT-I really hope this is not the final arc, even though the concept of 4 emperors fighting each other is mind boggling!

You missed quite greatly enjoyable content then, bro, I'll just post the hype list of the chapters so far (not even including anything after spoiler[ Aizen's return yet, like motherfucking Urahara's alchemist-like bankai or damn Kenpachi being ridiculously badass everytime it appears now ]) xD

The hype moment list:



Back to the main topic:

But about One Piece, I'm sure we have at least... 3-4 big arcs left (there's just too many stuff to cover, like the Marine problems, One Piece itself, the mystery behind the Poniglyphs and even the whole Akuma no Mi thing).

First of all: why does Oda have Giants as a separate species when he clearly doesn't bother with realistic human proportions. Whitebeard, Moriah, Kuma, Big Mom, they're all gigantic and yet they're all human. What about Kaido and Jack, are they human too? If humans can grow so huge depending on how powerful they are then why is Elbaf the Country of Giants and not just Country of Big People?

Secondly: why does anyone bother to travel around the world in search of One Piece when they already know where it is? Just jump aboard the nearest Sky Island, wait until it floats right above Raftel (or propel it there), then jump down. Easy peasy?

It's likely that Luffy will take on Big Mom and Kaido first, saving Blackbeard and Shanks for last since they are probably going to be more personal fights.
