The God Valley Incident Will Finally Be Revealed

Likelihood: High

First Mention One Piece, Chapter 957, “Ultimate”
Concerned Characters Roger, Rocks, Garp, Whitebeard, Garling
  • This important event concerned the top pirates and World Government forces of the time.

For quite some time now, fans have strongly believed that the God Valley Incident holds significant historical importance, even though specifics remain unclear due to limited information. What is understood so far is that a pivotal clash occurred on the title island involving major players from different spheres, which resulted in a colossal battle that shaped the world’s fate dramatically.

Finally! Do you have any idea how I’ve felt this past year?

The enigmatic nature and key figures of this occurrence remain veiled in secrecy, with no one more mysterious than the commander of history’s mightiest pirate band, Captain Rocks D. Xebec. This character has profound ramifications for the world as we know it today, and is associated with some of the most influential personalities. He was famously Roger’s initial and formidable adversary, so powerful that the future Pirate King had to ally with his enemy, Monkey D. Garp, to defeat him. The majority of fans speculate that, since Scopper is on Elbaf, the true account of this event will finally be disclosed.

The Truth Of Loki’s Mysterious Backstory

Likelihood: Very High

First Mention One Piece, Chapter 1130, “The Accursed Prince”
Concerned Characters Loki, King Harald, Hajrudin, Rocks
  • Loki’s innocence has been hinted at multiple times.

In chapter 1130 of “One Piece”, the character with the most astonishing debut was none other than Loki, the Infamous Prince of Elbaf. Prior to his grand entrance, Oda subtly hinted at Loki’s infamy by suggesting whispers about him being the gravest danger within Elbaf, a man who rebelled against his father and ended his life. In this act, he seized the legendary Devil Fruit of his homeland, escalating the terror he already inflicted on the island and its people. Afterwards, Loki turned his attention towards the world beyond Elbaf.

I am the Sun God who will bring about the end of the world!

In the following sections, it became clear that this might have been a misleading clue about the Giants of Elbaf. Instead, it was suggested that they were merely led to believe this. Loki, who initially seemed cold and deceitful, emerged as a more empathetic figure. On the other hand, his father, once revered as a just and benevolent ruler, began to appear much more sinister in true nature. When Loki denied killing his father, viewers speculated that there was a deeper narrative yet untold about him. It seems likely that before the Elbaf storyline concludes, the truth behind this complex character will be unveiled.

The Strange Connection Between Gunko And Brook

Likelihood: High

First Mention One Piece, Chapter 1146, “Motion in Stillness”
Concerned Characters Gunko, Brook
  • Gunko and Brook seem to know each other.

Since her debut in Chapter 1134 of the manga, Gunko has puzzled fans due to her mysterious nature. Compared to her peers, she resembled a Celestial Dragon more than any other in terms of her aloof, merciless demeanor and strong conviction in the superiority of her kind. However, what truly stood out was that unlike others with ‘Saint’ titles, Gunko did not bear

Hmm… that girl… no, it can’t be…

Fans have speculated about her being a Gods’ Knight since this incident, and it seems this theory might have been validated in Chapter 1149 when a glimpse into her backstory was provided due to her link with Brook. The Elbaf arc is expected to delve deeper into the story of how she became a Gods’ Knight, as well as revealing how she knew Brook from their shared childhood, which many fans had already guessed based on her initial introduction.

The Truth About The Ancient Kingdom And The Void Century

Likelihood: Low

First Mention One Piece, Chapter 395, “Ohara vs. The World Government”
Concerned Characters Joyboy, Imu
  • Elbaf’s recency to the Void Century make it the perfect place to reveal details about it.

Many fans had already anticipated the significance of the Elbaf arc in relation to the Void Century and the genuine history of the world due to the fact that the Giants, being a race with a long lifespan averaging hundreds of years, possess a more contemporary history and culture directly linked to the Ancient Kingdom. This makes Elbaf an ideal setting for narrating the tale of Joyboy.

The great and mighty of the day always fear Nika’s arrival.

Given that Elbaf is where both the First and Second Worlds were mentioned, it’s been suggested that this could be the unveiling of long-kept secrets from the One Piece series, as many fans anticipate this to be the climactic arc with much left unsaid about this enigmatic era. Given the wealth of history housed in the Owl Library, it’s reasonable to assume that the final chapters will shed light on these mysteries. Despite the current uncertainty, there’s hope that the grand finale will provide all the answers we seek.

One Piece can be streamed on Crunchyroll.
