Monster Trio Returns to Elbaf: The Holy Knights Are Doomed!

by

This post contains spoilers for One Piece.

Summary

  • The Monster Trio, Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji, are in the Underworld with Loki, ready to tip the battle against the Holy Knights.
  • Nico Robin will take the center stage in a major battle, potentially receiving power-ups like Armament Haki or Devil Fruit Awakening.
  • Scopper Gaban, an elite fighter with exceptional Haki skills, will also join the fight against the Holy Knights, making a significant impact.

In more recent instalments of “One Piece”, the narrative has revolved around the Holy Knights, persistently executing their scheme. Successfully abducting children from Elbaf, they subsequently started transmitting nationwide broadcasts following this event.

At present, the Holy Knights seem unbeatable in combat, with no one yet managing to best them. This has led some spectators to believe they are invulnerable. However, when the Monster Trio re-enters the battlefield, the tide will likely turn in favor of the pirates.

The Monster Trio Is In The Underworld

Currently, the trio of formidable Straw Hat members – Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji – are accompanying Loki in the Underworld. While Luffy indulges in food with Loki, both are noticeably gaining weight. Meanwhile, their captain, Luffy, has left Zoro and Sanji to handle matters on their own. The Monster Trio, known as the strongest fighters among the Straw Hats, have a knack for turning the tide of battle in almost every arc, and they’re expected to do the same during the Elbaf arc as well.

Among the trio, it’s clear that Luffy stands out as the most powerful. He possesses the ability to activate his Devil Fruit and wield all three kinds of Haki. His demonstrated strength in defeating a formidable character like Kaido leaves no question that he can overcome the Holy Knights too.

Zoro and Sanji are nearly as powerful as Luffy, and here’s why: During the Egghead arc, Zoro demonstrated his capabilities by defeating Rob Lucci in a one-on-one fight. As for Sanji, although he didn’t have a one-on-one battle in Egghead, he still made significant contributions. For instance, Sanji stopped Ethanbaron V. Nusjuro with a skillfully aimed hit, and he also contributed in other ways.

Loki Has Yet To Make A Decision

I, an onlooker, can attest that these three individuals boast quite remarkable resumes, leaving me in no doubt of their potential impact against the Holy Knights in Elbaf. Here’s hoping Oda doesn’t prolong their absence from the action excessively. Once they join the battle, it will be the Holy Knights who find themselves in a tight spot, their backs pinned against the wall.

It’s worth mentioning that Loki hasn’t chosen an allegiance as of now. Known as the Powerful Prince of Elbaf, Loki is a formidable warrior, having drawn the attention of the Holy Knights. His bounty, exceeding 2 billion berries, underscores his power. If Loki joins the Straw Hats, the Holy Knights face more complications. However, much like the Monster Trio, we’ll have to wait for Loki’s role to unfold.

Nico Robin Will Take Center Stage

Robin Will Likely Fight Sommers

  • Robin will fight Sommers
  • Gaban will engage in a fight with Gunko

In the recent installment, there was a brief spotlight on the Monster Trio as the narrative spotlights Nico Robin and Scopper Gaban at present. It appears that Eiichiro Oda is preparing a substantial confrontation for Robin, who last underwent a significant test in Wano. She engaged Black Maria, one of the Tobi Roppo, and defeated her with a novel technique. Given the level of adversaries in Elbaf, it seems plausible that Oda will equip Robin with an enhancement, perhaps Armament Haki or even a Devil Fruit Awakening.

I won’t let them do this. —Nico Robin

With the story now in its final arc, time is running short for the Straw Hats to grow stronger. Therefore, Oda must expedite things and bestow new powers upon them. Besides Nico Robin, Scopper Gaban will join the battle against the Holy Knights. Upon learning that Collun had been taken captive, he swiftly made his way towards his location.

Gaban is a top-tier combatant who acted as Gol D. Roger’s right-hand man. He journeyed with his crew until they disbanded. Unlike many others, Gaban doesn’t consume a Devil Fruit but instead demonstrates exceptional skill in utilizing Haki. In fact, he might be the best Observation Haki user since he could detect the presence of the Holy Knights even when they were attempting to conceal themselves. Moreover, Gaban has Mastery over Armament Haki and utilizes it effectively. A fighter of such prowess will undeniably impact the battle significantly.
