The Elbaf arc in One Piece is unveiling significant details one after another, leaving fans eager for more insights via Franky, who’s exploring the Adam Tree with Ripley. Similar to other chapters, One Piece #1144 offers a peek into some monumental aspects of the world’s history, and this time around, Oda revisited the topic of Iron Giants once more.

The Ancient Giant Robots in The First Two Worlds

  • Emet Was Joy Boy’s Loyal Iron Giant From The Second World
  • Nika Had His Own Iron Giant

In chapter 1144 of One Piece, viewers were immediately captivated by what seemed like remnants of an ancient Iron Giant. The Iron Giants aren’t entirely new to the audience, given that the Egghead Island arc provided a detailed look at one of these colossal beings. We even caught a glimpse into its past on Egghead, and it was made clear that Vegapunk was conducting research on this very Iron Giant. Two centuries ago, this Iron Giant mysteriously attacked Marijoa, but eventually, it exhausted its power and ceased functioning.

Joy Boy, I’m sorry I couldn’t make you King. — Emet

Discovering an exciting revelation, I found out that the Iron Giant was most active during the Void Century, a period I hadn’t known before! Luffy’s Drums of Liberation reawakened this colossal ally, who proved instrumental in our survival against Elbaf. Yet, his role didn’t end there. As the story unfolded, fans got a brief peek into his past, right before Egghead came to an end. At this point, Oda unveiled the profound bond between the Iron Giant and Joy Boy, the former Nika, a connection that was evidently very strong.

Simultaneously, Oda revealed to the audience how Joy Boy kept his Haki within Emet, and why Emet couldn’t make Joy Boy king – a turn of events that was regrettable. Eventually, with a final surge of power, Emet sacrificed himself by unleashing an incredible burst of Conqueror’s Haki to aid Luffy and his team in their escape from Egghead, making for a breathtaking spectacle.

Or, more concisely: Oda demonstrated how Joy Boy stored his Haki within Emet, why Emet couldn’t make Joy Boy king, and then showed Emet using Conqueror’s Haki to help Luffy escape Egghead – an amazing sight to behold when he sacrificed himself.

In chapter 1144 of One Piece, readers were introduced to another Iron Giant (or what’s left of one), located on the Adam Tree. This science facility seems to be constructed from the remnants of an Ancient Iron Giant. The most striking feature is the robot-like head that strongly resembles the original giant, catching the eyes of fans. The intrigue deepens as it’s hinted that the interior holds even more captivating secrets, with the popular character Franky expected to delve into its vastness soon. This development promises to escalate the excitement in the ongoing Elbaf arc of One Piece.

The True Importance Of The Ancient Giant Robots

Franky Will Help Luffy Just As The Other Giants Helped Nika

It’s evident that the Iron Giants share a special bond with Nika, as fans understand that Emet and Joy Boy had a strong connection, with Joy Boy often shielding Emet. Furthermore, it has been revealed that Emet attempted to make Joy Boy a king but was unsuccessful. Similarly, fans are aware of an Iron Giant from 3000 years ago who may have tried something similar with the actual Sun God Nika. Given these connections, it appears that the Iron Giants play a significant role, and in Luffy’s case, his Iron Giant is none other than Franky.

In collaboration with Vegapunk, it’s likely that Franky will significantly enhance himself and fully master the Franky Shogun, utilizing Ancient Energy and perhaps other resources. This transformation is anticipated to make him a formidable opponent, leaving fans on the edge of their seats in anticipation. Additionally, it’s worth noting that Franky is the only one capable of constructing the Pluton from scratch, and it’s expected he will assist Luffy during the Final War with the Ancient Weapons, which also includes the Motherflame. The upcoming events promise excitement, and fans are eagerly awaiting these developments in Elbaf as well as in the Final Saga. It won’t be long until Oda delivers significant moments for Franky, keeping fans captivated.

You can access One Piece, a popular series, through Viz Media. Fans have the opportunity to read it officially and for free on apps like Shonen Jump and Manga Plus. Mark your calendars, as the next chapter, One Piece Chapter 1144, is scheduled for release on March 30, 2025.
