So, we are into the final arc now and we really have to start discussing something:
Honestly... "There is no romance in One Piece" is a lie.
This is actually one of the first items of my research.
Have placed the nice promo letter from Oda for the girls novel "One Piece Heroines" as header, which has Nami hauling a kiss with a <3, and having a message like "Pay attention to the smaller things in this story or something"...
Then I cut out the names of all story arcs, including the two Romance Dawn Prototypes and sorted them, and put them on the wall.
Next, and that what was I was aiming at, I wanted to prove that the amount of couples and romantic themes like marriage increase as this story goes on. So I started cutting out characters, but could only get as far as covering Romance Dawn Arc and then my head did all the rest! You know my memory and it's true! Try it out yourself, I showed you a quick method!
Heck ever since Thriller Bark, the marriage theme is so hyperreccurent that we should legitimately assume a certain promise from the past might not be the same as the promise of the present!
So here are my predictions for EoS Couples in One Piece! I am curious to hear yours!
Luffy x Nami
This one goes without much explanation. I could, but don't want to give out details that go too much into meta secrets. Instead of the typical LuNa shipping stuff I instead want to point out two different things:
1. Readers want infinite adventure. One Piece never ending. For that, you at least need to have the main character and a female counterpart.
2. The humor. Humor is a huge part of One Piece, typically one character does something weird or stupid and another comments on it in humorous fashion. Luffy's typical tandem partner here is Nami, and both character's humor relies alot on eachother.
Zoro x Denjiro
Let's face it. In this LGBTQ promoting story, some characters are gay.
Zoro is gay. You can watch Quentin Tarantino's explanation of Top Gun from the fragment of his very first movie, if you still have problems understanding it.
Zoro rejects Tashigi all the time. He didn't show any interest in Hyori. The payoff was, next panel, Zoro is chilling with the boys.
He is a sexist that thinks women are weak, something ingrained into him by his tomboyish childhood friend who was full of gender dysphoria about becoming a women.
No interest for Nami in the bath, no interest for Yamato either..
He has green short spiky hair and three earrings, in his pre-skip outfit he looks like he just visited some CSD techno party. Samurai are a homoerotic motive, too.
There is an SBS highlighting the difference between Zoro and Sanji, it pretty much speaks for himself: Zoro has no interest in women and cannot go straight.
And this also makes a lot of sense from an out of story perspective, Zoro is not Dumbledore, no one identified with Dumbledore. Zoro is every boy's wet dream of a badass slayer! He even likes to put a sword into his mouth!
Now with whom is Zoro gonna hook up, and well, I think it is Denjiro.
Denjiro loved Oden so much his hair turned blue from grief over the loss. Zoro and Denjiro never finished their swordfight and I think Zoro would like to push it until someone can't hold it anymore.
Since Denjiro is taller than Zoro, Docking will create the strongest warrior, Zorjiro the Gotoryu user! Zoro is all about strenght!
Usopp x Kaya
Self explanatory, already pretty much confirmed by SBS though Usopp is going to leave her later on, replicating his dad, though probably happy ending in the long run.
Sanji x Pudding
Also self explanatory
Vivi x Kohza
Now here is something interesting: Nami RD2's hair is blue! Oda said Vivi was a late stage addition but never gives timestamps so what does this actually mean? I think Nami and Vivi used to be one character, until Oda realized something about himself. The Vivi character got born out of this procces later on.
Nami's favorite food to cook is roasted duck with tangerine sauce! Luffy can chose between becoming King of the World, his original dream, with Vivi, or Infinite Adventure with Nami.
Vivi is the peace queen and Kohza is an environmentalist, and Luffy is an idiot that would make a terrible job in politics, easy to see how this ends.
Chopper x ... x ...x Mink Tribe!
Now Zou introduced the reindeer Mink, Milky, to whom Chopper showed romantic interest.
But she is not even a character.
Now Zou also introduced the nurse, Tristan. Now that is a character and arguably there are matching interest but there still is barely any interaction.
Lastly we got Carrot, who is on very good terms with Chopper.
Now who is it going to be?
You know, screw that! Chopper is a reindeer, human norms and values certainly don't apply to him, of course he will claim multiple comsorts and he is going to mate with them all!
That's why Carrot became Duchess of the Mink Tribe, so that Chopper can become their alpha male and get the herd he deserves. It's only natural!
Robin x Law
I really wanted Robin x Jinbe because according to SBS Jinbe has two penises, while Robin has infinite...
Well Jinbe is so much lacking a happy end, and one step above sharing blood is sharing your juices... But it looks like it's going to be Law.
They make a classic Saarland couple with an emogoth spin, both are intellectuals that share the same interests, both have comparable age..
Franky x let's not talk about it
Men Women King Bulls...
Brook x Big Mom
If Big Mom is alive, she certainly lost a lot of meat. I bet she is all bones as of now...
Jinbe x
It's all blue
Smoker x Hina
Both have the exact opposite as powers, yet fight exactly the same and its clear who copied whom. Smoker is known to have no interest in traditional erotics, as shown when he bursted Tashigi's chest open. However his interaction with, and especially an Animal Theater Cover showing them shopping together, suggests he is in a complicated relationship with Hina.
They probably do BDSM together, Smoker is literally a human ashtray...
Tashigi x Helmeppo
Helmeppo is Zoro's marine counterpart and unlike him, he is straight. The interest in swords will bring those two together.
Koby x Hancock
Koby started out with the most beautiful woman, he will end up with the most beautiful woman. According to one of these "all references gallerys" you have probably seen floating around, Koby's look is based on a young Leo Di Caprio, so Koby is handsome af, too.
Hancock's story has to end with her finding love, but it's not going to be Luffy. Koby makes a pretty good replacement and as an orderly Marine would probably be more contempt with becoming a father at a young age... time is running out for Hancock.
She will give birth to a son.
Crocodile x Daz Bones
Already explained this one recently. Crocodile trusts no one, yet somehow really cares about Bones, going even as far as protecting him. They rarely talk with each other despite being together all the time. Sometimes it is more interesting what characters don't say, and Crocodile has a lot to hide... or maybe not, you see there isn't anything in his...
I expect Bones to die, so I am not guessing a happy end for this one.
Galdino x Bentham
Bentham initially was sent to assassinate Galdino, they never showed chemistry, yet suddenly Mr. 3 goes as far as risking his own life just for the idea it would have made Bon-chan contempt.
Mr 3 is very mean towards his partner despite both having exactly the same interest, art. He is gay, too.
Hatchan x Keimi
Another easy one. Keimi has a crush on the significantly older Hatchan, who in turn only had eyes for Octopako, but she already rejected him...
Mihawk x Perona
I forgot Perona in the Zoro section above, as there never was any indication of Romance between them, but you know with the average readers perception and thought taboos... Anyways Perona didn't hook up with Zoro, she was seen sound lovely gardening with Mihawk, who will eventually realize being a loner all the time sucks.
Sabo x Koala
Already severly hinted to be his girlfriend.
Kid x Killer
Bros before hoes.

What are your ideas? Feel free to go wild. This story is certainly full of romance, yet it is not a love story, there aren't going to be long internal monologues. So just voice your ideas, as silly as they may be.
On a side note, there are definitely lesbians in this story, too! In fact, every Amazon not a Pirate is probably a lesbian by lack of any alternative and forced through socialization.
But I am a man! It's easy to break with thought taboos once you've become aware of them, but I was not socialized to learn finer nuances of lesbianism, so...
Probably Zala, she has a "finger" theme.
Zala x Drophy
Ughh...
