Elbaf Arch One piece is here and fans are thoroughly enjoying the journey so far. As the final battle of the Elbaf Arc builds, fans are well aware that Oda is also preparing exciting events to follow after the arc as well. While this means a lot of exciting lore and possibly the start of major wars, it also means that many beloved characters will finally see their stories evolve in exciting directions, allowing them to receive major upgrades in the process.
Us
A cat thief, Nami is an incredibly exciting character who fans know is quite powerful. However, for a Yonko officer, Nami is nowhere near the desired level. Egghead hasn't given Nami much of a role, and she's hardly been involved in any combat in Elbaf so far.
However, post-Elbaf will be huge for her. Even if it doesn't indicate much Nami will be the focal point after the arcit's time for the whole crew to smarten up, especially someone on the weaker end like Nami, which means she could be just fine in the upcoming story arc.
Robin
Nico Robin is one of the strongest officers of the Straw Hat Pirateswith a reward of 930 million berries. Robin is a force to be reckoned with, but despite his high bounty and incredibly powerful Devil Fruit, he doesn't actually have Haki, which is confusing to say the least. After Elbaf, Robin will need to deepen his skills even more, especially if he wants to ensure that Luffy eventually becomes the Pirate King.
Her fighting skills need more attention and hopefully fans will see her shine soon.
Koby
Koby, also known as the Hero of the Marines, is a character that Oda will likely focus on after the Elbaf arc. One piece will wrap. While Oda didn't specifically say that Koby would be involved, he already made it clear that he intends to take fans around the world One piece in Final Saga. That means Koby and many others One piece the characters will be in the spotlight even if they are not wearing the Straw Hats.
Koby will have his moments here and there in the upcoming arcand being the future of the Navy, it must grow significantly. Koby could get a big Haki power-up especially given his recent development in the story.
Boa Hancock
Boa Hancock is a character that absolutely needs to join the fight One piece now. Hancock is an incredibly strong character and her generosity definitely shows that. The main problem fans have with her is that she never really gets involved in the story in major ways, especially not since the series went through a time jump. time for Hancock to join the main castand if so, fans could see her gain major enhancements such as the ability to infuse Conqueror's Haki.
Smoker
Smoker is one of the most neglected characters in the post-timeskip One Piecewhich is very sad for many fans. He was recently seen towards the end of the Egghead Arc, and that gave fans some hope for more involvement from him.
Smoker is going to play a big role in One Piece soon, and that basically means he might get a big performance as well. With Smoker, the power-up could come in any way, such as Devil Fruit Awakening or Haki flower.
Usopp
Of course, when it comes to Elbaf, Usopp is a character who will likely shine at some point, and that means fans should expect great things from him after the arc as well. Usopp had recently awakened Observation Hakibut this power of his has not been developed since.
Fans will likely see his Haki evolve in the Elbaf Arc, meaning he will potentially gain the ability to use Armament Haki, or perhaps even Conqueror's Haki, after Elbaf.
Monkey D. Luffy
Of course, the main character of the series, Luffy will likely continue to gain powerups in Elbaf and beyond. Luffy is already a Yonko and is very strong, but he still needs to grow stronger if he is to defeat the elders, Ima, and the many other powerful individuals he will face.
Luffy's Devil Fruit is already at its peak, meaning any upgrade he gets will be a Haki ward. Fans have seen Joy Boy's Haki abilities recently, and since Luffy is nowhere near that level, he could take the time to improve his Haki even more and become stronger, both in Elbaf and after.
