We all know the similarities between the Alabasta and Dressrosa arc, but Oda didn't stop there, so far it's been like Star Wars, the story rhymes with itself.
Part I Quick Summary:
Luffy meets his Crew, they want to enter Grand Line but before that they have to defeat evil Fishmen.
Then on the Grand Line they save a country from the fangs of an evil pirate and his criminal organization.
Afterwards they travel to a place high up in the sky, where strange people live and save it from disaster.
But then one of the crew has to leave and the others have to save her from the Government.
Then they beat another Shishibukai but things around them escalate quickly into war that ends with the death of Luffy's brother.
Part II Quick Summary and predictions:
Luffy meets his Crew, they want to enter the New World but before that they have to defeat evil Fishmen.
Then in the New World they save a country from the fangs of an evil pirate and his criminal organization.
Afterwards they travel to a place high up in the sky, where strange people live and save it from disaster.
But then one of the crew has to leave and the others have to save him from a pirate emperor.
Then they beat another Shishibukai* but things around them escalate quickly into war that ends with the destruction of Fishman Island.

These summaries drastically reduce the plot, but I think it becomes more and more clear that by using the structure of Pre-Skip One Piece, the upcoming story can be predicted to a certain degree. This is not a bad thing because the similarities in plot Structure are sort of...superficial and also the Storyline has to go beyond this as their is no Pre-Timeskip equivalent for Luffy becoming the Pirate King. So we get a "Part III", though not necesarily another timeskip.
So currently we are in Water 7/Enies Lobby if we use the pre-skip formula.
