Prediction for Laugh Tale
I think Laugh Tale will be the part of the story where the 4 yonkos (and possibly more) collide and fight over who can discover the one piece. Clearly there will be more to it - lots of them have agendas and what not - but I think that is the arc where that part of the story concludes. And I have a theory on how it ends.
After Luffy wins and gets to see the One Piece, he starts laughing, and the he goes to the yonkos he defeated and tells them “you all have to see this”, and then they all start laughing
And after that, they all (or most of them) join forces or at least part amicably. I can see it leading to, at the very least, Luffy Shanks and Buggy teaming up moving forwards as they go to the last arc which I predict is on the Red Line and Mary Geoise or however you spell it.
I just think this would be in character for Luffy to, at the end of the day, understand and respect his rivals enough to let them in on it, and I feel like a lot of the yonkos are characters that could team up with our allies at one point. Even Blackbeard had reasons to fight Imu.
