As a long-time follower of One Piece, I can tell you that Oda never ceases to amaze me with his intricate world-building and character development. The recent revelations about Elbaf, its levels, and their connections to the Monster Trio have left me positively giddy with excitement!

This article contains spoilers from One Piece’s Elbaf arc.

Key Takeaways

  • Elbaf in One Piece has 3 levels: Underworld, Sun World, and Astral World.
  • Sun World in Elbaf is significant, with lush forests, waterfalls, and massive villages.
  • Each realm in Elbaf ties directly to a member of the Monster Trio: Zoro, Sanji, and Luffy.

The grand Elbaf arc from One Piece is unfolding, leaving fans eager for more details about this land. When Elbaf was first introduced, it was discovered that it has three distinct levels. At its foundation lies a colossal mountain range, followed by another level directly above it, and yet another level hovering over the second one.

It appears that the geography of Elbaf has sparked considerable interest, and in chapter 1132 of One Piece, Oda provided numerous details about it. Notably, Elbaf consists of three distinct regions, each with its own specific name and distinctive landscapes.

  • Elbaf is heavily inspired by Norse mythology
  • Elbaf has three different levels

In chapter 1132 of “One Piece”, it’s disclosed that Elbaf comprises three unique levels. The first level, known as Underworld, was previously hinted at in earlier chapters, and Luffy’s visit to Loki had also given this away. Upon waking up in Elbaf, the Straw Hat Pirates found themselves in the Underworld, specifically within Road’s Castle. Here, Road had constructed his own model, and outside of it, viewers could see snow-capped mountains with minimal sunlight. This region of Elbaf is uninhabited due to its harsh conditions. Currently, Loki, the Prince of Elbaf born 63 years ago, is imprisoned in this part of the country. Given that the Underworld serves as a punishment ground for those convicted, it’s fitting that Loki, who killed his father and consumed the legendary Devil Fruit of Elbaf, is held there.

On Elbaf, the second tier is often referred to as the Sun Realm or Sun Kingdom. Above this level, there’s a hidden realm shrouded in clouds, which is called the Astral World or Heaven World. Unfortunately, not much has been disclosed about the uppermost layer of Elbaf, but we do know it floats among the clouds and appears to hold great significance. However, it’s the Sun Realm that seems to be most crucial for understanding life on Elbaf.

In the realm of Elbaf, the Sun World serves as the upper level of the country, positioned several meters above the Underworld. It’s a vibrant region teeming with life, accessible via a time-consuming rope bridge from the Underworld or the Rainbow Bridge, which can be summoned using an artifact known as a Painter or Sunstone, connected to the tales of Nika. The exact workings of this artifact remain unclear to fans, but its significance lies in allowing people to traverse into Elbaf Village, situated within the inhabitable part of Elbaf residing in the Sun Realm and receiving direct sunlight. This region boasts lush forests, albeit less treacherous than those in the Underworld, towering waterfalls, colossal animals, numerous villages that are hard to count, and noteworthy among them is Dorry and Brogy’s village, where Hajrudin originates as well.

In addition to this, there lies the Elbaf Castle – a place where Loki was born 63 years ago within the One Piece universe. This castle serves as the residence for the Elbaf royalty as well. Notably, a pirate crew known as The Giant Warrior Pirates and their successors, the New Giant Warrior Pirates, can also be found in this region of Elbaf. To put it simply, the Sun World, being colossal, is where all significant events in Elbaf unfold within its borders.

Luffy and his Straw Hat crew have just embarked on their journey through the Sunland, implying fans will need some patience to uncover all its mysteries in full. Packed with secrets and inhabited by formidable characters, the Sunland promises excitement. Since it’s primarily populated by giants, it is considered the most powerful realm within Elbaf.

As a devoted admirer of the lore of Elbaf, I can’t help but ponder if there might be some connection between this sun-bathed region and the revered Sun God, Nika. After all, it’s the only part of Elbaf that receives the god’s direct blessing of sunlight. Might it be that Nika originated from this very land?

As a dedicated fan, I can’t help but feel excited about the significant role that Sun World seems destined to play in the grand scheme of Elbaf, particularly for our beloved Luffy! It’s fascinating to note that each tier of Elbaf seems to be intrinsically linked to one member of the Monster Trio.

Just like how the middle realm of Elbaf, famously called the Sun World, seems connected to Luffy, it’s widely believed that he, who is known as the Sun God Nika, will encounter significant storylines right within this world.

It wouldn’t be unexpected if Eiichiro Oda delved deeper into Nika’s history in this part, offering fans a glimpse of sorts, particularly about the Sun God Nika. So far, fans are uncertain about how the Sun God is linked to Elbaf as a nation, and we can hope that Oda will clarify these connections while focusing on the Sun World, where Luffy’s importance is likely to grow significantly.
