It was stated during tha announcment of V8 and V9 that volumes 7 and 8 would have more connecting story to "stretch out" some plots and charcter arcs better. So it's likely that the next volume will take place in Atlas as well. V8 was also stated to be longer than average volume, but V9 will end up becoming shorter than average because of this.

On Ace-OP. At least one of them will die and either Harriet or Elm will be devastated by it. Just to proof that their logic that you can fight as a team without being friends/forming a close bond is flawed.

I don't think Vine will die. Right now, he's mostly on the back ground and has probably has had the least amount of spoken lines and screen time from Ace-op team. If they continue this route, killing him off would have least amount of emotional effect to the viewers. I'm betting my money on Elm, mostly because I think she might be based on Aesop fable "the Oak and the Reed" (Oak brags how it doesn't bend to the wind and ends up falling down during a storm).
