by

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

Summary

  • Sun Gods in One Piece were tied to Iron Giants, like how Emet was tied to Joy Boy.
  • The new Iron Giant introduced in chapter 1144 is linked to an Ancient Giant from the First World.
  • Franky, tied to Luffy as his Iron Giant, is set to play a major role in the final war.

The intensity of the Elbaf arc in One Piece just keeps escalating, as readers anticipate that creator Oda will keep unveiling significant lore to pave the way for an even grander event in this part of the Final Saga. Already, fans have been left astounded by Oda’s monumental disclosures through the Harley storyline. However, those who think this is all there is to it are sorely mistaken.

In the latest chapter 1144 of “One Piece”, fans were given a hint that we haven’t seen the last of Elbaf yet. A significant reveal about a giant from three thousand years ago in the One Piece universe was made, and this mysterious figure seems to have a direct link to Franky, the shipwright of the Straw Hat Pirates. It appears that Franky will play a crucial role in the final stages of “One Piece”, leaving fans eagerly anticipating how the story unfolds further.

Franky And Ripley Come Across A 3000-Year-Old Giant

  • Ripley Showed The Harley To Franky
  • Franky Was Introduced To Another Iron Giant

The Egghead arc in One Piece introduced readers to a colossal robot from the Void Century, known as the Iron Giant. This Iron Giant played a crucial role during the storyline, as it was the Iron Giant that enabled the Straw Hat Pirates to depart the island initially. However, by the end of the arc, after releasing a tremendous blast of Conqueror’s Haki from Joy Boy, the Iron Giant ceased functioning. At that time, it was revealed that the Iron Giant’s name is Emet and that it had been a cherished companion of Joy Boy. Sadly, their friendship was cut short due to Joy Boy’s eventual demise.

I’m sorry, Joy Boy! I’m sorry that I couldn’t make you King! — Emet

In Chapter 1144 of “One Piece”, Oda introduces us to another ancient giant, this time hailing from an era even before the Void Century. While Emet was built around 900 years ago, this new Ancient Giant is said to be from a time approximately 3000 years ago. Essentially, the Iron Giant currently at rest in Elbaf is none other than a relic from the First World.

In case you’re familiar, it’s worth mentioning that the realm of One Piece has met its end on two previous occasions. The initial catastrophe occurred post-the First World. This was when the Earth God and the Infernal Serpent collaborated to annihilate the world following the appearance of Nika.

900 years past, life resumed anew, with the Ancient Realm serving as the epicenter of progress. However, this time around, it faced opposition from 20 rulers, leading to a cataclysmic war that ultimately led to its demise and the tragic death of Joy Boy.

Currently, I’m deeply engrossed in the captivating world of “One Piece,” where ancient relics still linger amidst modernity. In the latest chapter (1144), Franky and Ripley stumbled upon an Iron Giant that dates back 3000 years! This behemoth appears to be a remnant of a long-lost scientific facility. The significance of its discovery is crystal clear, making this journey even more intriguing.

What the True Importance Of The Iron Giant In One Piece Is

The Iron Giant Is To Nika What Franky Is To Luffy

It’s evident that each Sun God in the One Piece universe was connected to an Iron Giant. For example, Emet, the Sun God, was bound to Joy Joy and was always near him. Joy Boy eventually passed away, but not before battling side by side with Emet. Remarkably, even in his apology, Emet expressed regret for failing to make Joy Boy a king.

Pay attention, Emet! I’ll infuse you with my most powerful Haki. Activate it only when you find yourself in a desperate situation! — Captain Straw Hat

In the present day, it is understood that the Sun God named Nika resided in the First World 3000 years ago. It seems this Sun God had his own colossal figure of iron, and this Iron Giant appears to be more intimidating than the one encountered during the Egghead storyline. It is evident that this Iron Giant was always by Nika’s side.

Currently, followers are aware that Luffy, the Third Sun God, also possesses an Iron Giant of his own. And indeed, Luffy obtained this Iron Giant, known as Franky, quite some time ago.

Franky Has A Big Role To Play In The Future

Similar to Joy Boy and Nika’s Iron Giants, Luffy will have Franky as his companion during the Final War, striving to make him a king. This implies that fans should anticipate significant development in Franky throughout the upcoming storylines. Presently, Franky is not as powerful as Emet, the previous Iron Giant, but in the future, he might draw strength from the Drums of Liberation rather than Cola, similar to Emet. If this happens, Franky would embody the Iron Giant of this era, unlike the past two giants who failed.

Fans can access the ongoing manga series “One Piece” legally and without cost through the Shonen Jump and Manga Plus apps, provided by Viz Media. Keep an eye on your calendars as the next chapter, One Piece 1144, is scheduled to drop on March 30, 2025.
