One Piece: Oda Reveals The Strongest Character In The World 300 Years Ago

Chapter 1172 of One Piece was huge in terms of preparing for the upcoming events in the Elbaf arc. Through Oda’s excellent storytelling, fans learned important new details about Elbaf itself and the broader world. The chapter mainly showed Elbaf getting ready for the inevitable conflict with Imu’s Demon Army, and revealed key information about characters like Jarul along the way.

Chapter 1172 of One Piece heavily featured Jarul, who gave a powerful speech and rallied his country to defend against Imu and his forces. This confirmed to fans that Jarul was once among the world’s most powerful individuals.

Jarul Is Confirmed By Oda As The World’s Strongest 300 Years Ago

Jarul Co-Captained The Giant Pirates 300 Years Ago

Wow, Jarul’s story is incredible! I remember when he first showed up during the Whole Cake Island arc, in Big Mom’s flashback – honestly, he seemed like just another old man, not super important. But things have completely changed in the Elbaf arc! He’s become a really prominent figure, clearly a highly respected elder among the Giants. And get this – it was officially revealed in chapter 1172 that around 300 years ago, Jarul was considered the strongest person in the world! It’s amazing to see how much depth Oda has given this character. I can’t wait to see what else we learn about his past!

It’s no surprise, really. Lord Jarul was considered the most powerful person in the world three centuries ago. – Hajrudin to Zoro

Right after Jarul finished speaking, Zoro admitted he was starting to respect the older man. Hajrudin then explained that wasn’t surprising to Giants, as they all knew Jarul had been the world’s strongest warrior 300 years ago.

Considering what the author, Oda, has shared with fans, this information about Elbaf fits perfectly. Shamrock mentioned upon reaching Elbaf that the Giants who once lived there were so powerful they controlled the entire New World. About 109 years before the current story events, the Giant Pirates were incredibly feared and were known as the strongest pirates on the seas.

Looking at everything, it’s easy to understand why Jarul was seen as the world’s strongest about 300 years ago. Back then, the Giant Pirates were probably the most feared group around, completely dominating the New World. And Jarul was leading them – he had to have been incredibly powerful himself.

Now quite elderly, Jarul isn’t as strong as he once was. He’d struggle in a fight against even one Holy Knight, a stark contrast to his prime when he could easily defeat any opponent.

Jorul Was Jarul’s Equal, But Died At Big Mom’s Hands

The introduction of Jarul in One Piece has confirmed the existence of another incredibly powerful figure from around 300 years ago: Jorul. Like the previous Giant Pirate captains Dorry and Brogy, Jarul and Jorul were co-captains and equals in strength – if Jarul was considered the strongest then, so was Jorul. Sadly, Jarul passed away 64 years ago during Big Mom’s attack on Elbaf Village, where he was left with critical injuries due to his age and frailty.

At his old age, he will not survive his injuries. — Jarul to Mother Carmel

Jorul was defeated and killed by Big Mom when she was only five years old, demonstrating the immense power of the Four Emperors in the world of One Piece. Now, Jarul stands as the last remaining figure from a previous generation, and the author, Oda, is emphasizing just how important his character is.

Jarul and Jorul Are Likely Conqueror’s Haki Wielders

Regarding Yarul and Jorul’s immense strength, it’s important to remember neither of them ate Devil Fruits. This means their power came entirely from Haki, the core power system for those without Devil Fruit abilities in the One Piece world. They were likely the most skilled Haki users of their time, around 300 years ago.

Let me tell you, the people of Elbaf? They’re not backing down, not ever! Jarul said it best – if the world tries to force a split, Elbaf will stand against it, declaring themselves enemies of anyone who tries! They’re a proud people and they won’t be pushed around.

At some point in the story, Jarul gave King Harald a famous sword. This implies Jarul also possessed a powerful, well-known blade. It’s likely they used this sword to focus and unleash their strong Haki.

It’s well known that Jarul and Jorul were skilled in both Armament and Observation Haki. Given their status as the captains of the Giant Pirates – and the strongest pirates in the world – it’s no surprise they also possessed the incredibly rare Conqueror’s Haki. In fact, their title of ‘strongest’ strongly implies they had this powerful ability.

Jarul Will Show His Amazing Power Soon

Oda Will Give Jarul A Huge Role In Elbaf

Although Jarul isn’t as powerful as he once was in One Piece, he remains a very strong and proud fighter. The author, Oda, frequently demonstrates that even older characters can still be incredibly powerful, and Jarul could easily remind everyone of his former strength and dominance.

The fight against Imu’s forces might finally reveal the extent of Jarul’s power, including his Conqueror’s Haki. With Dorry, Brogy, and Harald unavailable, Jarul now represents the strength of the Elbaf Giants and must demonstrate why their homeland is impossible to conquer.

Fans are eagerly anticipating seeing how powerful he still is, as it would give them a sense of just how formidable he was in his prime. Many hope Oda includes a brief flashback to Jarul’s younger days during the Elbaf arc, which would likely be very satisfying for readers.
