[[WMG: Oda is toying with us, and will bring the timeskip coverstory UpToEleven for a big reveal]]
The last couple of chapter's covers have covered the Impel Down arc. Meaning that at any moment we are likely to get a reveal of what happened to Mr 2 Bon Kurei and Magellan. So Oda spends 3 chapters covering Hannyabal, Minochihuahua, and Sadi-chan with Saldeath. Surely the next chapter must cover at least one of the aforementioned two. Cue Chapter 664, and Oda has a colourspread instead of a cover. I think he's postponing the reveal as long as possible because the information will be important and will have a lot of impact.
My theory is that;
* Mr 2 Bon Kurei is alive, and is possibly running New Kama Land for any new incoming prisoners, becoming the new equivalent of Ivankov.
** Confirmed! Bon Kurei is alive and living in Level 5.5.
* Magellan is out hunting Level 6 escapees, and may or may not have gained the rank of Admiral.
** My assumption that he is an Admiral is based on the fact that he is likely that powerful, and that there are two unrevealed Admirals (assuming Kizaru hasn't resigned). The reason that he isn't at the prison anymore (obvious since Hannyabal is Warden) is either because he died of his injuries or because he is out there.
*** Jossed, Magellan has been demoted to Vice-Warden.
* And now, One Piece is on break for a week. Dammit Oda, you MagnificentBastard.
** Nah, its just Golden Week.
* Oda is the biggest f**king Troll in the buisness, it turns out Magellan is in fact [[spoiler: the new Vice-warden below Hannyabal, having been demoted and has a massive scar on his face]].

[[WMG: Trafalgar Law created the centaurs, satyrs, and harpies.]]
We know via the marked Den Den Mushi that the harpy and the centaurs are connected. As of 660, it's pretty safe to say that if Law knows about the children, he knows about the satyrs. If the satyrs are connected to the centaurs and harpy, then Law is connected to all of them. We know that Law has the ability to chop people up and put them back together with others' bodies. Since the mythological humanoids we've seen thus far are pretty much all-human in some parts and all-animal in others, they being the product of Law's LegoGenetics doesn't seem so far-fetched. They are probably the new forms of his old crewmates. With this, there are two additional theories if this one holds true:
* Jean Bart is not only a centaur, he is the centaur boss. Jean Bart is quite the large guy. So is the centaur boss. It hasn't yet been confirmed that the boss is indeed a centaur, but if it is one and it is Jean Bart, that would add a lot of credence to the main theory.
** [[spoiler: This part is mostly {{Jossed}}, since the boss is Brownbeard and not Jean Bart. Also, we never got a good look at Brownbeard's lower body before, so he could have always been a centaur. However, one of his current centaur followers looks a LOT like one of his crewmembers from chapters 581 and 594, who was fully human then. If they are the same guy, that proves that at least some of the centaurs were created.]]
* The 100 hearts Law sent to the World Government to become a Shichibukai are the byproducts of the centaur/satyr/harpy/etc. creation. If each creature is the literal mashup of a human and an animal, then there would have been two bodies to work with. Now, there is only one body, which only needs one heart (same with the other organs). Assuming there are 100 of these creations of Law, he probably thought, "Hmm, I have 100 spare hearts from turning my pirate crew into mythological beings. Why don't I send them to the government to become a Shichibukai, which would protect myself and my crew from persecution?"
Doesn't explain what that living gas/liquid boss thing that moves and can talk is. Though I wouldn't be surprised if Law has some connection with it as well.
** Confirmed, though Monet's story is currently unknown. Caeser Clown had a hand in it as well, by the way.

[[WMG: After the TimeSkip Trafalgar Law became a Shichibukai. ]]
Tying in with the above WMG. In chapter 656 the guy cut in half(who is probably a samurai) were asking Luffy and co. if they are the ally of 'that Shichibukai',and not in a friendly tone. This implies that it was 'that Shichibukai' who stuck the lower half of his body to the dragons neck,and we all know whose power is that.
** If Law is the person responsible for the samurai's dismemberment as i suggested in the above WMG, and so is a shichibukai, it would support my argument that he has waited two years to enter the New World.
Had he already entered the new world, where the marines have little power, he would be heading for raftel and would be in no position to accept the role of shichibukai.
It is my beleif that he has taken a leaf out of Blackbeard's book, rather spending the last two years hanging around the grand line making an even bigger name for himself as so to be offered the position of shichibukai to further his own goals.
Which leads to my next theory that...
* Confirmed. [[http://www.mangareader.net/one-piece/659/18 At least the part about Law becoming a Shichibukai]]
*The second part is now confirmed. The samurai head says, while everyone is running away, that it was Law who cut him up.

*** [[spoiler: Confirmed. Jinbe tells the story in the aftermath of the battle with Hody.]]]]
[[WMG: Jinbe's reason for wanting to meet with Luffy is one of three reasons]]
Either he wants to join Luffy's crew (either because he respects him that much or he wants to look after Luffy for Ace's sake), '''he admits he wants to join but there is a reason he can't''', or he wants to tell Luffy how to defeat Hodi, which is why he told Luffy not to fight him. Of course, if you can think of other possible reasons, please be my guest.
* I'm inclined to agree with you, re Jimbei joining Luffy. Actually, I was going to put it in a separate WMG that Jimbei will in fact join Luffy, for these reasons: (1) he promised Ace he'd protect Luffy; (2) he and Luffy have both lost someone important [[spoiler:Ace for both of them, and earlier Sabo for Luffy and Fisher Tiger for Jimbei]]; (3) he presumably has a tragic background in that he was (very likely) one of the slaves freed by Fisher Tiger; (4) he promised Luffy he'd wait for him at Fishman Island, and is currently waiting still in the Sea Forest area; (5) it would be both very cool and very useful for the Straw Hats to have a Fishman member. If there are any more reasons that I've forgotten, I'll remember and add them as necessary, but yes, Jimbei really should join the crew and would make a fine addition (perhaps as their quartermaster/tactician or helmsman).
* Position is a non-issue, the Straw-Hats have an archaeologist for [[IncrediblyLamePun Bink's sake]].
** Yeah, an archaeologist who can translate the Poneglyphs for them and thus guide them accordingly in their journey, plus one who's had [[BadassBookworm extensive experience in assassination]]...
* Partly confirmed, namely the bolded part of the original WMG
[[WMG: Akainu is the current fleet admiral.]]
Sengoku's recommendation that [[spoiler:Aokiji]] should become the next fleet admiral was just a red herring. It's awfully suspicious that after the time skip, the new fleet admiral would be mentioned but not named. Akainu also has the credit for the kill on Ace and did a substantial amount of work towards Whitebeard's death.
* Makes sense. He's probably the most fanatically loyal to the concept of Absolute Justice in the world, and has no mercy, when the Five Elders think is needed in the Rampaging Era. And since it's likely that the WG will fall apart by the end of the series, the worst choice because his soliders might not be so willing to be so cruel as he at the end, causing a rift of Justice.
** If that is the case, then Akainu would be in the perfect position to become the entire series' BigBad (assuming Blackbeard won't already have that slot by Oda's reckoning). Or, at the very least, Akainu will perhaps be TheDragon to whoever Sengoku's superiors are, whether the Five Elders or whoever else sits at the helm (assuming [[spoiler:Doflamingo]] isn't already fulfilling the role of TheDragon for that entity).
** Confirmed, he faced Aokiji in a duel and won. Aokiji left the marines.

Actually, I was going to put it in a separate WMG that Jimbei will in fact join Luffy, for these reasons: (1) he promised Ace he'd protect Luffy; (2) he and Luffy have both lost someone important [[spoiler:Ace for both of them, and earlier Sabo for Luffy and Fisher Tiger for Jimbei]]; (3) he presumably has a tragic background in that he was (very likely) one of the slaves freed by Fisher Tiger; (4) he promised Luffy he'd wait for him at Fishman Island, and is currently waiting still in the Sea Forest area; (5) it would be both very cool and very useful for the Straw Hats to have a Fishman member. If there are any more reasons that I've forgotten, I'll remember and add them as necessary, but yes, Jimbei really should join the crew and would make a fine addition (perhaps as their quartermaster/tactician or helmsman).
* Position is a non-issue, the Straw-Hats have an archaeologist for [[IncrediblyLamePun Bink's sake]].
** Yeah, an archaeologist who can translate the Poneglyphs for them and thus guide them accordingly in their journey, plus one who's had [[BadassBookworm extensive experience in assassination]]...
* Partly confirmed, namely the bolded part of the original WMG
[[WMG: Akainu is the current fleet admiral.]]
Sengoku's recommendation that [[spoiler:Aokiji]] should become the next fleet admiral was just a red herring. It's awfully suspicious that after the time skip, the new fleet admiral would be mentioned but not named. Akainu also has the credit for the kill on Ace and did a substantial amount of work towards Whitebeard's death.
* Makes sense. He's probably the most fanatically loyal to the concept of Absolute Justice in the world, and has no mercy, when the Five Elders think is needed in the Rampaging Era. And since it's likely that the WG will fall apart by the end of the series, the worst choice because his soliders might not be so willing to be so cruel as he at the end, causing a rift of Justice.
** If that is the case, then Akainu would be in the perfect position to become the entire series' BigBad (assuming Blackbeard won't already have that slot by Oda's reckoning). Or, at the very least, Akainu will perhaps be TheDragon to whoever Sengoku's superiors are, whether the Five Elders or whoever else sits at the helm (assuming [[spoiler:Doflamingo]] isn't already fulfilling the role of TheDragon for that entity).
** Confirmed, he faced Aokiji in a duel and won. Aokiji left the marines.

[[WMG: Blackbeard will become one of the Four Emperors.]]
[[spoiler: He killed Whitebeard, so that leaves a void for the forth place in the Emperors. So who better then the guy who killed the strongest man in the world among other reasons?]]
* While he DID [[spoiler: kill Whitebeard]] he did it when he was in a weakened state, and needed his entire crew to help him. Whitebeard was pwning Blackbeard's [bottom] until he called for backup. If it had been a fair fight Whitebeard would have whupped him in seconds. So Blackbeard doesn't immediately become Emperor level because Whitebeard was basically at [[OneHitPointWonder: 1HP]] by that point.
** Following that Video Game-related wording, one could say [[spoiler: Blackbeard leveled up with the Gura Gura no Mi]].
** Seems likely; the Gorusei even point out that Blackbeard has a major advantage over the competition, having two Devil Fruit powers, a crew made up of some of the worst criminals ever, and an intimate knowledge of Whitebeard's former territories. His only real competition for the position is Marco and the remains of Whitebeard's crew, and [[spoiler: with Whitebeard dead, they may very well not care anymore.]]
*** [[spoiler: Confirmed. Jinbe tells the story in the aftermath of the battle with Hody.]]

[[WMG: Dadan is another ChekhovsGunman]]
It seems rather suspicious that we have yet to see even a silhouette of Ace and later Luffy's trainer/guardian and don't even know his/her gender, age, or rank. He/she might even be an already-established character with which Luffy and Ace have yet to interact.
* Dadan is The Pandman? ... Actually, that would probably be both hilarious and awesome.
* Confirmed. She was the one that took care of Ace and Luffy when Garp was away.

* Zoro was sent to that island not to learn anything, but to recover.

** Alternatively, Zoro may discover a ridiculously powerful sword on that island.
** Yet another theory: The island is Mihawk's birthplace. He sails around in a coffin surrounded by candles and generally gives a Dracula vibe, down to his name. Him coming from a spooky, gloomy island would fit with his theme. [[spoiler: Partially confirmed. He lives there, but it isn't his birthplace.]]
** Zoro can't do any physical training (not that he needs it), but his attitude, and general cockiness will probably take a hit from hanging around with all of the ghosts. In other words, he's going to be doing character training.
