So, there has recently been a cover storie started of Enel making it to the moon. What do you all think will happen in this one? For some reason, I have a feeling that this mini-story will actually have something to do with the plot ahead.
Perhaps Enel will find a Poneglyph or something..

Don't think its a poneglyph... if it was, Nico Robin wouldve the hardest dream of all the crew...
I'll think of something else...

He'll obviously find a community of space bunnies, save them from some disaster and become their King or something equally goofy.
Or, alteratively, he'll wander around in a bleak, desolate landscape (moonscape?) for thirty chapters before sinking to his knees and looking, forlornly, at the Earth, with a tear in his eye.
But I'm expecting the bunnies.

Robin's dream isn't necesarily to find every Poneglyph. It's only to locate the last one, which is one Raftel. There are 2 types. The ones that have history, and the ones that leads to others. Robin could be past the Ponglyph that's on the moon (because I highly doubt the first Poneglyph she found was the first one that lead to the second one and so on ).

Same. I'll bet Enel's going to start acting all happy and goofy and shit.

He might end up being all "WTF was I thinking?!?"

Heh, I can picture the story now.
Enel discovers a race of moon bunnies and trains them to be his servants, then they all turn on him, and it ends with Enel crying with an outstretched hand toward the earth. Heheh.

And he looked rather comforted, and i like the bunny idea. Then maybe some tragedy happens and he acts like a bigshot hero >_>
well he stayed so he is getting what he wants
Didn't he stay only to get transported to Impel Down?
I'm thinking he would make some discovery or encounter something interesting. Depending on what he may have found in the hole, I'm not sure how it may end.
If anything lives on the moon, it is probably gonna be out of rubber -_-

I think it's just going to be Eneru wondering around pointlessly.
I'm pretty annoyed Oda decided to use this as a cover story anyway, in my view it totally takes detracts from Eneru as a dangerous and powerful villain, and also how effective it was in that last panel where we see his dream is a farce doomed to fail.
Same as with Crocodile's reappearence detracting from his credibility as a serious villain.
It was ok with Morgan and Buggy and Wappol and the like, since they were either unimportant, or already a joke. But he should leave proper villains alone.
Ah well. Maybe you're right and it will be important some how. I'd def prefer that

I'd disagree completely with this post. Enel was a dangerous and powerful villain anymore so than most? He was pretty much tossed around upon his initial encounter with Luffy, and "killed" after a near-death Wiper fought him. His expression after getting hit was just comical. It wasn't exactly a long and hard fought battle, while even Crocodile nearly defeated, and eventually caused Luffy to be unconscious for 3 days after they fought with his weakness exploited.
And your second comment just seems nonsensical to me, because he was shown, he's no longer serious? The fact that he's being sent to a place described as a underwater prison where the most dangerous and horrible criminals reside? We did also learn quite a bit about his character and the reason being a lot of his statements in Alabasta when his "dream" was revealed.

That would be funny if Enel ran into a USA flag on the moon haha.

Rabbits are strongly associated with the moon in Japanese culture. In Japan, it's not the Man in the Moon, it's a rabbit in the moon. That's why Sailor Moon's name is Usagi ( = Rabbit).

Who was more powerful and dangerous than Eneru, then?
And do remember that Luffy was his only weakness incarnate. Eneru easily beat down most of the other Strawhats without even trying at all. The fight with Luffy didnt need to be that long because Eneru had already spent an arc absolutely slaughtering everyone and everything.
Luffy was the only one to stand a chance of hell of even fighting him at all, and Wiper only hurt him with that dial and nearly killed himself.
The guy ruled an entire civilisation, had god like powers, and was about to blow everything the hell up.
How do you top that?

My bad here I think, I didnt see the last parts of Croc's ministory translated because the scans I got never translated it. So I don't really know what happened to him at the end.
Anyway, my point stands, Oda should leave the serious villains well alone. How would you feel if we see Lucci a little later, joining a circus or some dumb shit like that?

Actually, the dial didn't just hurt Enel, it killed him.

If you want to know what happens, just look at my sig.

In terms of comparing abilites alone, of course he's strong. But as a villain, as I said, simply look at Luffy's fight against him, compared to even Luffy's fight against Arlong. And Wiper pratically killed him, Enel had to restart his heart. It's easy to to top that, though the fact that despite his powers, (which are nothing compared to the plenty of others according to Oda), he was finished with relatively easy. As opposed to beating down Luffy and forcing Luffy to come back to fight to an even greater extent, he got tossed around, had to put a golden ball around his arm, Luffy came back to ram it into his head.
Anyway, my point stands, Oda should leave the serious villains well alone. How would you feel if we see Lucci a little later, joining a circus or some dumb shit like that?
Well... tell me... how going to the moon is the same as going to a circus? I find that it's actually amazing that Enel accomplished his goal, despite how far out of his reach it seemed (...). Lucci joining a circus, well, if he happens to end up slaughtering people, then it fits his personality. With Enel, he did exactly what he wanted to do, fit his personality of not caring for anything but his goal, going to Fairy Vearth his greatest.

Oda is going to turn Enel into a carrot by finishing his favorite story from Dragonball when chibi Goku sent Boss Rabbit aka this guy,

into the moon for turning people into carrots when they touch him. Proof that him and bunnies are on the moon.

Actually, the dial didn't just hurt Enel, it killed him.
It only caused his heart to stop, which Enel corrected on his own with his powers by defibrillating himself.
Many people "die" and then come back to life in this way. It depends on what you consider "death" I guess.
