I hope fore Elbaf to be a Straw Hats centrinc arc, where Luffy will take the backseat and the focus will shift onto the Straw Hats where each one of them will have their own training arc.
Considering Norse mythology have 9 worlds and Ussopp’s dream is stated to become a brave warrior of the sea, I’m having the idea that there will be a ritual in Elbaf for warriors to be initiated and becoming Brave warriors of the sea.
There are 9 challenges each one corresponding to 1 world of the Norse mythology and each straw hat will take on 1 challenge.
Like this, straw hats that have less development and less presence can take the centre stage.
Franky -> Nidavellir it is the world of dwarves and craftsmanship, and now with Lilith being here, both Franky and Lilith can take this challenge.
Ussop -> Asgard. He is god Ussop after all. Or it could be Midgard since he is the most human of the crew.
Sanji -> Muspelheim. Muspelheim is a realm of fire, and Sanji’s element is fire.
Robin -> Vanaheim. It is the World of the vanir, wise creatures, and Robin is known for her knowledge and Wisdom.
Brook -> Hel. It is the Realm of souls. And he is the soul king.
Chopper -> Jotunheim. Realm of the Giants and Frost Giants. It could be a place to train his Monster Point.
Nami -> Niflheim. A realm of ice, snow and mist. It could be a place where she can further her mastery of the weather.
Zoro -> Valhalla?
Jinbe -> Alfheimr?
What do you guys think?
