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

Summary

  • Devil Fruits remain the main power system in One Piece.
  • Haki plays a crucial role, especially in the New World.
  • The Abyss mark introduces a new power, granting immortality and invincibility.

The Elbaf arc of One Piece has left fans spellbound with a series of intriguing twists and turns. The Harley’s disclosure of the world’s secrets and the formidable adversaries from the World Government’s Holy Knights, who are both exciting and treacherous, hint that this storyline is brimming with breathtaking events. And fans know that they are only just scratching the surface as this saga unfolds.

It’s no surprise that with fresh adversaries entering the scene, it was only a question of when Eiichiro Oda would unveil some new Devil Fruit abilities. In this storyline so far, there have been many intriguing powers shown, but none compare to the legendary might of the Holy Knights, the Abyss, details about which are still being kept under wraps by Oda.

Haki And Devil Fruits Are Two Major Powers In One Piece

  • Devil Fruits Form The Primary Power System In One Piece
  • Haki Is Crucial In The New World

In the primary power structure of the One Piece universe, it’s common knowledge that Devil Fruits hold dominion. These enigmatic fruits bestow abilities upon those who eat them, but at a cost: they lose their ability to swim. The abilities conferred can range greatly, mirroring the boundless creativity inherent in human imagination, as this imagination is what brings forth the Devil Fruits. Throughout One Piece’s run, fans have witnessed an abundance of potent Devil Fruit powers, some so powerful they could potentially obliterate the entire world.

In the heart of the storyline for “One Piece”, author Oda unveiled another power system known as Haki, a spiritual ability accessible to all inhabitants within the “One Piece” universe. Fans are familiar with Haki’s existence in two main forms: Armament and Observation Haki. The former allows users to mobilize their spirit to create both offensive and defensive armor that bypasses the protection of Devil Fruits. On the other hand, Observation Haki functions as a sixth sense for detecting potential dangers, emotions, and more. There is also a rare third form of Haki found in one out of every million people, known only to those with the traits of a King. As such, these powers hold significant importance within the “One Piece” world. Recently, Oda has added an exciting twist to this power dynamic with his latest development.

Oda Introduces A New Overpowered Ability Called Abyss

  • Abyss Is Connected To Imu
  • It Likely Grants Immortality

In the One Piece storyline, the Elbaf arc introduced readers to the enigmatic concept of the Abyss. So far, it’s understood that the Abyss enables transportation through mystical circles, as demonstrated with the Five Elders in the Egghead arc and later by the Holy Knights in the Elbaf arc of One Piece. However, it appears that the Abyss is not merely a means of transport. Each Holy Knight bears a distinctive mark that allows them to utilize the Abyss. This unique mark, referred to as the Abyss mark until further explanation from Oda, seems to link these individuals directly to Imu.

This symbol grants extraordinary powers: For starters, it appears that Imh has the capacity to bestow abilities upon those who bear the mark. For example, the Five Elders possess diverse demonic powers, which seem to be tied to their marked bodies. Similarly, Gunko holds the Aro Aro no Mi, and this power was also used by Imu to slay Cobra, suggesting that powers can be transferred with the mark. Above all, the Abyss mark confers the gift of immortality.

The Immortality Of The Abyss Mark

The Abyss Mark’s Immortality grants an individual unprecedented strength. They might as well be deemed invulnerable, as no apparent attack seems to harm them. This includes attacks fortified with Armament Haki, a type of Haki that Luffy, who possesses all three types of Haki, was unable to penetrate even on the Five Elders, demonstrating the extraordinary might of the Abyss Mark.

It appears that Joy Boy’s Conqueror’s Haki had a unique ability to neutralize the forces of the Abyss in some mysterious fashion. If one wants to overcome the Abyss, it seems that Advanced Conqueror’s Haki may be the solution, but keep in mind that very few individuals possess the capability to wield it effectively. Intriguingly, even highly skilled Haki users like Luffy are powerless against it, suggesting that this power surpasses the capabilities of standard Haki.

One Piece’s newest chapter, number 1148, will be released in just two weeks! As always, expect it to come out on a Sunday. In Japan, it’ll become available at 12AM JST on Monday.
