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

Summary

  • Luffy seeks the last Road Poneglyph in Elbaf.
  • Elbaf serves to strengthen Straw Hat Pirates.
  • World Government vies for Elbaf’s power and Giants.

The popular series “One Piece” is now in its Final Saga, and fans are eagerly anticipating as Oda delves into the most thrilling aspects of this storyline, given that it’s been approximately two decades in development. Oda has meticulously constructed his narrative, and now he’s introduced the realm of giants into his tale – a development that has sparked great enthusiasm among fans. Elbaf represents the second arc within the final saga of “One Piece”, implying for followers, this arc promises to be more significant than Egghead, where minimal intense confrontations took place.

Beyond this, Elbaf stands to bring Luffy a step nearer to claiming the monumental treasure of the One Piece, and fans are genuinely thrilled about this development. However, what makes this even more exhilarating is that this arc serves a purpose beyond just this quest, and it will undoubtedly pave the way for something far greater.

What The Straw Hat Pirates Want From Elbaf

  • An Adventure Of A Lifetime

After wrapping up their business on Egghead Island, the Straw Hat Pirates promptly made their way towards Elbaf. Since their ship’s destination was already set there and the Giant Warrior Pirates had come to collect them, it seemed like a logical choice for the crew. The arrival of the Straw Hats at Egghead marked the beginning of a series of thrilling adventures, as beautifully depicted by Oda in the initial chapters. Beyond the excitement, fans were buzzing with anticipation about the tales related to the Sun God Nika and the Liberator Warrior. As promised, these stories unfolded, and along with them, fans got to witness some captivating characters like Loki, among others, play pivotal roles in the events. Notably, two Holy Knights also made their appearance here, making Elbaf a real treat for fans in terms of villain encounters.

Regarding the Straw Hat Pirates, a journey to Elbaf brings them one step closer to the One Piece, though not in the sense of finding the last Road Poneglyph there. Instead, it seems this island holds information about the Man with the Burn Scar, which will be relevant at some point. However, it’s clear that Elbaf is not where Luffy and his crew will find the final Road Poneglyph. Instead, the purpose of this arc appears to be strengthening the Straw Hat Pirates. With Luffy still having growth ahead of him, and the rest of the crew as well, learning about Nika and the Giants promises to make them all even stronger – a prospect that delights fans greatly. Similarly, the other members of the Straw Hat Pirates will also grow stronger during this arc, gearing them up for confrontations with the Man with the Burn Scar, and more crucially, the World Government in the future.

Beyond what they initially perceive, Elbaf holds much more for the Straw Hats. Although they may not consciously seek it, Elbaf’s support is destined to be in their grasp. It’s crucial to recall that Elbaf is a vast nation, and its extraordinary power lies in the fact that it is inhabited by colossal Giants. Without a doubt, this is the most powerful country in the world of One Piece, making it uniquely significant. Regardless of the outcome in this story arc, fans can expect the formation of an alliance between Luffy and the Giants, potentially under the leadership of Loki.

What The World Government Infiltrated Elbaf For

The World Government Want A Holy Knight And The Country

Regarding the World Government, they play significant roles in the Elbaf saga, even though it might not appear so at first glance. In truth, they’ve been actively engaged with Elbaf for quite some time, largely due to their desire to build up their strength before the impending final conflict. Lately, two prominent figures from the Holy Knights have been dispatched to the Giants’ realm. These individuals possess immense power and serve as emissaries of the Government’s might. Their mission has been unveiled as an attempt to recruit Loki into the ranks of the Holy Knights. It is worth noting that, although rare, the World Government does have the authority to transform anyone into a Celestial Dragon by granting them special status.

I’ll explain how York received the Celestial Dragon status and how Loki might have gotten it too. With Loki joining their group, the God’s Knights become extremely powerful, potentially stronger than any Yonko crew in One Piece.

Concurrently, it’s crucial to note that alongside their objective with Loki, the World Government aims to achieve another goal in the land of the Giants: gaining Elbaf as their own territory. The dispatching of the Holy Knights was not merely for Loki’s recruitment, but also to secure Elbaf’s support and ultimately control it, using force if necessary. This strategy makes sense considering Elbaf possesses the world’s most powerful army; any alliance with a Yonko would likely result in their victory over other Yonkos, leading to becoming the Pirate King. Furthermore, the World Government has long desired Giants, and seizing Elbaf by force could indeed grant them this desire.

A War For The Giants Will Be Fought

It’s evident that Elbaf holds significant importance for both the Straw Hat Pirates and the World Government. The main objective of this arc isn’t to enhance the power of the Straw Hat Pirates, but rather to acquire the Giants’ power. Only the Straw Hat Pirates have the potential to prevent the World Government from invading this land and imposing their rule through force. Their strength is indispensable in this situation.

At the climax of this storyline, Elbaf’s allegiance may lean toward the Straw Hat Pirates, or it could succumb to the World Government. Possessing the Giants will provide a significant edge in the impending Great War, which is exactly what makes this arc so captivating.

You can access “One Piece” through Viz Media, where fans can read it officially and at no cost on both Shonen Jump and Manga Plus applications. The upcoming chapter of “One Piece”, titled “One Piece 1137”, is scheduled for release on January 26, 2025.
