Considerations

When evaluating potential power-ups, consider the narrative direction of the series and the individual character arcs. Some abilities may align more closely with a character's established skills and growth patterns. Additionally, the timing of these developments may be influenced by upcoming story arcs and the challenges the crew faces. Keep in mind that while fan theories provide insight, the actual progression is determined by the series' creator, Eiichiro Oda.
