One Piece: Oda Reveals A Major Poneglyph Location

As a long-time fan of One Piece, I can confidently say that the upcoming arc involving Blackbeard and the Pirate Island is shaping up to be one of the most exciting yet! With my years of following this incredible series, I’ve learned to anticipate the unexpected twists and turns that Eiichiro Oda always manages to throw our way.

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

Key Takeaways

Law went to Pirate Island for a Poneglyph, hinting at a major war soon.
Blackbeard currently has the Poneglyph; Luffy may face him in the upcoming war.
Robin needs the Poneglyph to uncover the true history, setting up an exciting arc.

Fans of One Piece have been missing out on manga chapters recently because Oda decided to take a break not only for his health but also to assist with the live-action team. Despite the disappointment this hiatus has caused, it has been eventful. Not only did fans receive a new volume release, offering them a fresh SBS corner and revealing plenty of exciting new tidbits of information, but they also got hold of the latest Vivre Card packs. These packs are an invaluable source of information about numerous fascinating topics, particularly concerning the Cross Guild and the Navy, who played a significant role in the Egghead Island Arc.

Beyond just that, Oda arranged an interactive Q&A session where he disclosed the solutions to ten thought-provoking questions. Needless to say, this left fans astonished. Many of these queries contained veiled information, and one specifically alludes to a crucial artifact that the Straw Hat Pirates might require, indicating a significant impending battle in the world of One Piece.

The Poneglyph Location On Pirate Island

In the popular series One Piece, it’s common knowledge that Poneglyphs are significant stones holding crucial information. These stones may mark the location of other Poneglyphs or an Ancient Weapon. They also contain historical texts from the Void Century. The primary types of Poneglyphs viewers encounter include the Road Poneglyphs, which are rare and red, guiding towards Laugh Tale, the Final Island. As Big Mom pirates have noted, there are approximately 9 Rio Poneglyphs. Each one offers a glimpse into ancient history, and only by bringing these Rio Poneglyphs to Laugh Tale can the true story of the world be unveiled, as explained in detail during the Whole Cake Island Arc by Baron Tamago.

Thanks for helping me out during the Rocky Port Incident! – Blackbeard

In summary, fans are well aware that Nico Robin’s function is crucial for decoding these future texts and revealing the complete message from the Rio Poneglyphs. To fully understand history, she requires all nine Rio Poneglyphs. However, during his Q&A session, Oda didn’t disclose any details about specific Poneglyphs or their contents. Yet, the insights he shared on the origin of the Rocky Port Incident might hold clues that would excite fans greatly. Here is what Oda said regarding the Rocky Port Incident:

Q9: Please tell us about the Rocky Port Incident that resulted in Koby being called “the Hero”.

A9: It seems drawing it might require too much time, which leads me to believe it may not make it into the central plotline.

In simpler terms, upon learning about a poneglyph on Pirate Island, Law secretly boarded and commandeered a large vessel named the “Rocky Port,” which served as a passenger ship. This ship just so happened to be transporting a king and other notable individuals from a specific country, and he traveled to Pirate Island using this ship as his means of transportation.

In fact, the ship Law had embarked upon was a covert smuggler operating under the same nation’s flag, conducting illicit trade with Pirate Island. This led to some perilous complications, as Law found himself at odds with the pirates. Later, Koby and Blackbeard joined, each pursuing their own aims, which ultimately culminated in a joint struggle between them.

As time passed, that event got labeled as the incident. Once the dust settled from this incident, Blackbeard claimed the title of Pirate Island’s king, Law became a member of the Royal Navy’s elite sea warlords, and Koby earned the nickname “The Hero.

Back when Oda spilled the beans, I, Law, ventured to Rocky Port with a hunch there was a Poneglyph hidden away. Just like Robin, my curiosity about the world’s murky past burns strong within me, and I’m on a mission to uncover the truth behind the Celestial Dragons and the D family lineage. Truth be told, it’s the historical mysteries that really get my blood pumping – so much so that I stirred up all sorts of chaos on that Pirate Island in the first place!

Do the Straw Hat Pirates Have To Visit The Pirate Island?

The Straw Hats Could Join The War At The Pirate Island Soon Enough

The latest piece of information pertaining to the Rocky Port Incident is certainly very exciting, but one thing that fans might overlook is the fact that the Rocky Port incident happened partially because of a Poneglyph that Law wanted to obtain. It is likely that he went to obtain this Poneglyph for himself, and given that he didn’t share it with Luffy, what fans know is that the Straw Hat Pirates do not have access to this Poneglyph yet. It is highly unlikely that this is a Poneglyph that tells the location of the Ancient Weapons, because the Law is not interested in that. The only Poneglyphs that Law is interested in are the ones that tell the true history of the world and are somehow related to the history of D people of the Ancient Kingdom.

To put it simply, the Poneglyph that holds crucial information is currently with Blackbeard, and Nico Robin aims to unveil the complete Rio Poneglyph. However, acquiring this stone is necessary for her dream to come true, but she’s far from achieving it and will likely face numerous challenges infiltrating the Pirate Island to gather this info. Robin needs a way to circumvent these obstacles, which promises an intriguing storyline ahead.

Readers may ponder if the Straw Hat Pirates will find themselves setting foot on Pirate Island somehow. This intriguing plot point could very well involve Luffy and his crew. Indeed, they will visit the island, and the reason for their journey might be connected to Robin’s intention of securing a Poneglyph for herself. The impending war on this Island could result in its complete annihilation, making this a crucial part of the story.

Why Luffy Vs Blackbeard Will Settle The Secrets Of The Poneglyph

Luffy Will Have To Face Blackbeard Soon Enough

As an ardent admirer, let me share my insights on the Straw Hat Pirates’ impending journey to the Pirate Island. You see, Blackbeard presently governs this island, and his intentions are far from benign. He aims to trade Garp for the island’s sovereignty, a proposition he believes the World Government will endorse. However, I strongly suspect that the Government won’t approve the deal. Instead, it seems likely that the World Government will initiate a full-scale attack on the Pirate Island, thereby igniting a conflict. This conflict, I foresee, will bear striking resemblance to the Paramount War, except this time, it will be the pirate’s island that faces Marine invasion, whereas before, it was the Marine stronghold that was under siege by pirates.

It’s evident that the Marines face a challenging situation in the upcoming battle, and it seems likely that Luffy will once again get drawn into the fray, much like he did during the last war. This involvement may stem from the character of Garp, who is not only Luffy’s grandfather but also a key figure here. Unfortunately, Garp has been captured. While Luffy could choose to let Garp live out his days peacefully and allow others to save him, fans anticipate that he won’t due to two critical factors: firstly, Blackbeard now knows the location of Shirahoshi; secondly, Blackbeard also possesses information about Pluton. If Blackbeard manages to capture either or both later on, it could force Luffy to act and participate in this conflict.

When Luffy becomes part of the scene, it’s highly possible that we’ll witness a showdown between Blackbeard and Luffy at last. If Blackbeard is vanquished in this encounter, there’s a strong chance that Robin will be granted access to the Poneglyph she seeks, which she could then add to her collection before embarking on the journey to Laugh Tale.

Fans can now read One Piece officially and at no cost through Viz Media’s platforms, Shonen Jump and Manga Plus apps. Mark your calendars for November 10, 2024, as the next chapter of One Piece, chapter 1131, will be released then.
