by

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

Summary

  • The Great War in One Piece is about to begin, signaling the end of the series.
  • Gunko confirms the countdown to the final war, which will engulf the entire world.
  • Preparations for the Great War have been ongoing since the Reverie arc; it may start after Elbaf.

In the Elbaf arc of One Piece, we witness a significant advancement towards an event eagerly anticipated by all fans – the culmination of One Piece. This epic conclusion will unfold only after the Straw Hat Pirates engage in the Great War against the World Government and their other formidable allies.

As a die-hard One Piece fan, I can’t contain my excitement! Echoing the recent hints from Oda, we know that the Elbaf arc will serve as the threshold to the impending Great War in the One Piece world. Brace yourselves, Straw Hat Pirates and me included, for Luffy and the gang are gearing up for this monumental conflict!

Moreover, Oda has just dropped another tantalizing clue about a colossal war brewing in the Third World. The anticipation is building, and I can hardly wait to see how it all unfolds!

Gunko Teases The Great War In One Piece

  • The Harley Confirms The End Of The World Is Near
  • Gunko States The War Is About To Begin

The Elbaf arc within the world of One Piece seemed incredibly vivid from the start, with key figures finally taking action, such as the Holy Knights. Moreover, Oda has become bolder than ever before, revealing significant chunks of backstory, like the Harley texts, and hinting at the series’ conclusion more than previously. It’s clear that One Piece isn’t wrapping up any time soon, but with each passing chapter, it seems to be inching closer to its finish line – a fact that Oda subtly reiterated in One Piece chapter 1146.

A great war that will drag the entire world in is about to begin! Nobody can stop it now. — Gunko

Gunko, it appears, is brimming with details regarding Nika, and she’s indicating that we are in the midst of a countdown to the impending final war. This war, as per Gunko, will be catastrophic enough to bring about the end of our world. Initially, she thought the end would come out of nowhere, but thanks to the actions of Clover, Olvia, and Vegapunk, it seems we are now on a course towards an unavoidable global conflict.

In case you forgot, this conflict is identical to the one Whitebeard mentioned during the Paramount War. It’s expected to cause a massive global disruption, and it seems almost impossible to halt its progression.

Beyond all other factors, it’s common knowledge that the World Government aims to garner the Giants’ backing for this conflict. However, Harley explicitly mentions that the Giants will join forces with the Straw Hat Pirates during this war.

When Will The Great War Finally Begin?

The Great War Of One Piece Hasn’t Begun Yet

As a fervent fan of One Piece, I can’t help but feel the tension building as preparations for the Great War are underway, a development that, in retrospect, has been subtly hinted at since the Reverie arc. With Nika now present in our world, the war seems to be looming closer than ever before, and it appears we’re entering the final countdown phase – much like the seconds ticking down on a clock. Gunko suggests that this countdown will conclude after the Elbaf arc, but predicting exactly when the Great War will commence remains challenging at best. The anticipation is palpable as I eagerly await each new chapter of our favorite pirate saga!

Hey Beck, it’s time, don’t you think? To claim the One Piece, that is. — Shanks

The outcome hinges on how Oda unfolds the story in future chapters. A crucial question remains unanswered: Will the Great War break out before or after Luffy discovers the One Piece? It seems more logical for the conflict to erupt following Luffy’s coronation as Pirate King, given the need to understand the secrets of the D and the purpose of Ancient Weapons, which can only be revealed once Luffy reaches Laugh Tale. Even Captain Roger needed to uncover the truth about the world before he could act. However, Oda has hinted that One Piece will conclude after the treasure is found, creating some contradiction. Nonetheless, we believe the Great War will officially commence after Luffy locates the One Piece, which may be 4-5 years away. Although it appears to take a long time, rest assured the war is inevitable and will significantly impact the entire world.

In just a few days, you’ll be able to read One Piece Chapter 1147! It will be published this Sunday in most regions, but in Japan, it comes out at midnight on Monday (Japan Standard Time). However, the global release is scheduled for April 20. The official date of release for One Piece Chapter 1147 is April 27, 2025. Excitingly, you can enjoy this chapter for free on Manga Plus!
