One Piece: Oda Reveals A Certain Man Will Shake The World in 2025

As a long-time enthusiast of One Piece, I must say that the latest news from the series has me more excited than ever! With over 20 years of reading this manga and following its intricate storyline, I’ve seen it all – from the Straw Hats’ adventures in the Grand Line to the political machinations of the World Government. Yet, the recent developments at Elbaf have truly caught my attention.

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

Summary

  • Oda teases a major move in 2025 that will shake the world of One Piece.
  • Elbaf Arc developments will bring chaos as a significant character arrives.
  • Oceans will grow tumultuous as focus shifts to Yonko and possibly Marines.

The final act of One Piece’s Jump Festa 2025 has ended, and many fans have expressed disappointment as this event was not as thrilling as previous years. Typically, One Piece’s Jump Festa presentations are filled with intriguing details and significant projects unveiled. Regrettably, no major projects were announced during this year’s presentation. However, the audience did receive Eiichiro Oda’s annual message, which sparked their excitement for upcoming milestones.

It’s no surprise that, as predicted, Oda hinted at upcoming events from the Elbaf storyline for One Piece, with these events unfolding over the next twelve months. Although the section regarding the Elbaf Arc was brief, it certainly provided an intriguing piece of news. Moreover, it served as another reminder to fans that a significant character will take a major action in 2025.

Oda’s Jump Festa Message

  • Oda Paid Tribute To Kazuki Yao
  • Oda Teased Further Development For The Elbaf Arc

As always, Oda dropped a message on Jump Festa. Here’s what he had to say:

Greetings from here! I’ll never forget the extraordinary day Yao-san took me to a bar reminiscent of Kamabakka! Thank you, Yao-san, for being Franky for so long! Wherever you go, you’ll always be our comrade! And Subaru-san, I can hardly wait to have you join us!

People often question me, “Why are you dedicating so much energy towards a live-action adaption when One Piece is well-known worldwide?” Although it’s true that One Piece has global recognition in the manga and anime sphere, isn’t it intriguing to imagine the possibilities of venturing into an even larger stage? That’s why I’m giving my best shot to all aspects of One Piece – the manga, the anime, the movies, and the live-action! The team is preparing numerous projects and announcements for One Piece next year. Keep an eye out for the resumption of the anime series with a more contemporary approach, which I believe will make it easier for everyone to appreciate.

Concerning the manga, we’ve reached Elbaf at last! It’s a peaceful kingdom, but tranquility is soon to be disrupted by the arrival of a specific individual! At the same time, other seas are about to experience unrest as well! Lastly, that particular character will start causing global upheaval!

Prepare to take a deep breath, as the moments ahead might leave you gasping for breath! Anticipate an absolutely TERRIFIC year of One Piece in 2025!

Oda’s Key Words About Elbaf

Oda Hypes Up Major Elbaf Developments

Oda’s message at this Jump Festa was quite long. Of course, the vast majority of it concerned the One Piece anime Voice Actor Kazuki Yao, who officially stepped down from voicing Franky and has now been officially replaced. But, fans need to turn their attention to the very last bit. Oda stated that 2025 is going to be absolutely massive for One Piece. According to Oda, Elbaf is a very laid-back Kingdom, which means that while they were once very active in war, things have changed greatly ever since. This was once again highlighted in One Piece chapter 1134, where Ripley clearly stated that Elbaf has changed its philosophy over the last 100 years.

The Man Who Will Shatter Elbaf’s Peace

Regardless of what happened in Elbaf in the past, the peace there is not going to last and people in the country are going to be forced to fight. This is because of the arrival of a certain character. Oda didn’t specify which character this was going to be, but, from the chapter itself, it was quite clear that this character is none other than Shanks’s twin, who fans saw arriving at the end of One Piece chapter 1134. This was further highlighted by Oda when a sneak peek of One Piece chapter 1134 was given to the fans during the Jump Festa stage.

It’s apparent that this character will break the artifact at Elbaf, the specifics of which we still don’t know. Furthermore, it’s important to note that he has another combatant with him in Elbaf, and together, they are expected to cause chaos throughout the country. Fans eagerly anticipate seeing this storyline unfold more.

The Man Who Will Shake The World

Although Oda hinted at ongoing events within Elbaf, this doesn’t exclude the exploration of happenings beyond its borders. As Oda indicated, global seas will witness unprecedented turmoil, suggesting a shift in focus towards other Yonko and potentially Marines allied with the Revolutionary Army. This development was anticipated by fans, but it’s reassuring to have Oda’s confirmation now.

But, the most exciting part of the message came at the very end, where Oda stated that a particular person will finally move and shake the world. This person could be anyone, but what fans know for sure is that it is going to be someone significant in the story. The main candidates for this person are likely Shanks, Dragon, and Blackbeard. It is unlikely for this person to be Dragon, because even though he is going to go to war, his moves are not likely going to shake the world, at least not yet.

It’s plausible that this individual is Shanks, given that fans are aware that he has recently become earnest in his pursuit of the One Piece. Additionally, there may have been a hint dropped about this in One Piece chapter 907, when Shanks’ twin conversed with the Five Elders.

Indeed, Blackbeard also seems a fitting choice, considering his reputation as a formidable and relentless character in the hunt for the One Piece. The anticipation is high, as fans eagerly speculate that Blackbeard could potentially create seismic shifts similar to Shanks in 2025. They can hardly contain their excitement over what thrilling twists and turns await them next.

You can access One Piece, the popular series, through Viz Media. Fans are able to read it officially and at no cost on both Shonen Jump and Manga Plus apps. The next chapter of One Piece, One Piece Chapter 1135, is slated for release on January 5, 2024.
