Without a Vessel, Their Chances of Getting There Are Almost None

Reaching the last island of One Piece’s world, better known as the legendary Laugh Tale, is the goal of almost all pirates in the series. Kid, like many other characters, had a dream of obtaining the titular One Piece treasure and becoming the King of the Pirates.

Trafalgar and Eustass are likely no longer contenders for the King of the Pirates title, although that does not mean that they will never be seen again in the story. Their objectives will possibly change from reaching Laugh Tale to overcoming the pirates that caused their downfall. In chapter #1121, when Vegapunk announced that the fate of the world would be decided by whoever finds the One Piece, an image of the Four Emperors was shown, implying that they are the only contenders left in the race.

While they are no longer competing for the One Piece, Kid and Law could still return seeking revenge against the Emperors who took their dreams away from them, fighting against Shanks and Blackbeard once more. Acquiring the titular treasure has been the motivation of most pirates in the One Piece universe. Nonetheless, plenty of outlaws have been shown to have completely different goals in mind. Law and Kid returning would surely make their many fans happy, even if with different objectives.
