by

Summary

  • Vivi from Alabasta, Shirahoshi from Fishman Island, Momonosuke from Wano, and Loki from Elbaf are key allies for the Straw Hats in the Final War.
  • Vivi releasing Poneglyphs, Shirahoshi being an Ancient Weapon, and Momonosuke’s ties to the Kozuki clan give them vital roles.
  • Alabasta, Fishman Island, Wano and Elbaf’s strategic importance and historical connections position them as valuable assets in the upcoming conflict.

As each new chapter unfolds in the One Piece manga, I can’t help but feel that the great war looming over this franchise is edging ever closer. Since the narrative’s horizons expanded and the central struggle between freedom and control came to light, readers like me have been eagerly waiting for the final confrontation. This battle promises to bring together our beloved heroes and their allies from throughout the tale, united against the seemingly insurmountable power of the World Government.

In order to stand a chance against the evil forces of Imu, the Straw Hats need all the help that they can get. This has raised the discussion of the allies that they will have in One Piece’s Final War, where Oda has even stated that the scale of which will make the Marineford War look tiny by comparison. So, in this article, let’s go over the most valuable allies that the Straw Hats will have in the Final War that will be invaluable in the greater conflict.

Nefeltari Vivi And The Kingdom Of Alabasta

One Of The Straw Hat’s Oldest Allies

First Appearance One Piece, Chapter 103, “The Whale”
Debut Date September 6, 1999
  • Nefeltari Lily was likely the most important character in history after Joyboy himself due to her releasing the Poneglyphs into the world.

From the very beginning of the One Piece tale, the kingdom of Alabasta has been depicted as a highly influential and powerful one, with a significant role not only in the story’s power dynamics but also in its lore. Buried within its borders are some of the world’s greatest secrets, and it was uncovered that Alabasta was initially one of the 20 kingdoms that united to vanquish Joyboy and establish the World Government. However, contrary to this alliance, its ruler, Nefeltari D. Lily, renounced the cause and refused to relocate to Marijoa, even aiding Joyboy in the end by disseminating the Poneglyphs globally.

No matter what happens from here on, our left arms will bear the sign of our friendship.

It appears that history is echoing in our times, as Luffy and Vivi find themselves closely tied together, much like Joyboy and Lily were. Following their successful rescue mission in Alabasta, one of the world’s key nations both strategically and powerfully, Luffy has solidified Vivi as an essential ally. Her and her homeland’s forces are likely to play a crucial role during the upcoming great war.

Shirahoshi And The Kingdom Of Fishman Island

One Of The World’s Greatest Powers

First Appearance One Piece, Chapter 612, “Taken by the Shark They Saved”
Debut Date January 31, 2011
  • Poseidon was likely an essential ally of Joyboy as well and was one of the 3 Ancient Weapons.

On Fishman Island, we find Princess Shirahoshi, bearing a resemblance to Vivi, who shares an ancient bond with a figure of immense significance to Joyboy. This seems to echo roles and characters from the Void Century, as Joyboy is linked to Luffy, Lily corresponds to Vivi, and now Shirahoshi appears to mirror Poseidon’s original form. From this connection, it appears that themes and characters from the Void Century are recurring. The Fishmen, historically among the most oppressed groups, will likely play a significant role in the Final War against their suppressors.

It feels like I have known you since I was a kid although we just met for the first time!

Beyond just being their leader, Shirahoshi holds significant value primarily because she is among the 3 Ancient Weapons. As a contemporary embodiment of Poseidon, she wields power over Sea Kings, making them follow her commands as their promised ruler. This unique ability clearly positions her as one of the Straw Hat’s strongest and crucial allies in the Final War.

Kozuki Momonosuke And The Kingdom Of Wano

The Leader Of An Unaffiliated Nation

First Appearance One Piece, Chapter 684, “Don’t Do It, Vegapunk”
Debut Date October 15, 2012
  • Wano was the land of the Kozuki clan, who were some of Joyboy’s greatest allies.

Similar to Fishman Island and Alabasta, Wano is an ancient and significant territory within the universe of One Piece. Since the conclusion of the Void Century, Wano has been one of the few independent nations that have managed to stay aloof from the World Government, primarily because of its virtually impregnable borders that have kept most parts of the world at bay. Currently, Wano is governed by Kozuki Momonosuke, who is the latest ruler from the legendary Kozuki dynasty, known for their close alliance with Joyboy during the Void Century.

In these very moments, a child was born who would one day earn global acclaim as the most renowned Shogun of Wano – Kozuki Momonosuke!

This version maintains the same meaning and structure but uses more natural language and phrasing to make it easier for readers to understand.

It’s not just that they were the ones who carved the Poneglyphs, but they also significantly strengthened the nation of Wano. The conclusion of the Wano storyline hints that Momonosuke will grow to be an exceptional leader for this land, potentially placing it at the center of the Final War. It’s even suggested that Wano might utilize Pluton, a weapon hidden beneath the island from the start, in this conflict. Given these factors, some fans speculate that Momonosuke and the forces of Wano may first appear during the Final War, armed with Pluton.

Prince Loki And The Kingdom Of Elbaf

The Strongest Race in the Setting

First Appearance One Piece, Chapter 1130, “The Accursed Prince”
Debut Date October 21, 2024
  • The Giants are the strongest race in the world.

Just as Wano has remained undefeated by the World Government during the Void Century, so too has Elbaf remained untouched. Unlike Wano, which was safeguarded by its territorial boundaries, the World Government has steered clear of Elbaf due to the colossal power of its inhabitants – the Giants. In the One Piece universe, Giants are considered the most formidable race and are feared for their immense strength. As the Elbaf storyline is still unfolding at the time of writing, it’s expected that the Giants will prove to be the Straw Hat Pirates’ strongest allies.

I am the Sun God who will bring about the end of the world!

Furthermore, it seems that many fans believe that Prince Loki from Elbaf will eventually turn out to be a hero rather than a villain. If this is the case, it could tip the balance in favor of the heroes during the Final War, as they would then have two users of the Sun God Devil Fruits on their side. Additionally, either Loki or Hajrudin could ascend to lead the Elbaf Giants. In any event, both of these characters are likely to become key allies for Luffy.

One Piece can be streamed on Crunchyroll.
