One Piece: Iron Giant’s Successful Attack on Gorosei in Latest Spoilers Could Introduce Alchemy to Series’ World

The recent leak of One Piece chapter 1119 showcased a significant portion of the Straw Hats’ fight against the Elders of the Gorosei. A standout moment was when the Iron Giant successfully injured one of the Elders, Warcury. This has sparked many theories about how the Iron Giant was able to harm such a formidable opponent, with some fans speculating that he may be utilizing alchemy.

It cannot be denied that the One Piece fandom often creates theories, although many of them do not materialize. However, this particular theory holds some credibility due to the characteristics of the Iron Giant. It proposes that the Iron Giant is capable of speech and human interaction, as evidenced by his apology to Joy Boy. This is attributed to the belief that the Iron Giant contains the soul of a living being, achieved through alchemy.

This article serves as a disclaimer, as it may reveal spoilers for the series.

Exploring the Possibilities of Combining Alchemy and the Iron Giant in the World of One Piece

A particularly shocking moment in chapter 1119 was when the Iron Giant was able to harm Warcury, a member of the Gorosei, causing a flurry of speculation among fans about the method used. One theory that was raised during the discussions was the possibility of a soul being trapped within the Iron Giant through the use of alchemy.

Centuries ago, alchemy was considered a pseudo-science that involved transforming matter, including the belief that metals could be turned into gold and possess spiritual properties. This has inspired some fans to theorize that the Iron Giant gained free will through a process of alchemy, which led to a soul being trapped inside him. This is evident in his apology to Joy Boy.

This implies that the Iron Giant may possess Haki, as it is a power rooted in one’s determination and could explain how he was able to harm Warcury. Similarly, author Eiichiro Oda could incorporate this concept into his story, possibly revealing that the World Government had erased knowledge of alchemy from history due to its potential threat to them, mirroring its eventual debunking in human history.

Despite being in a dire situation, it is undeniable that the Straw Hats and the Elbaf Giants have constantly managed to evade their enemies, including the Elders of the Gorosei. As seen throughout the entirety of One Piece, they are likely to escape once again, but the question remains: what will be the cost of their escape from Egghead?

Many fans have speculated that the Iron Giant will sacrifice itself in order to allow the Straw Hats to escape and save Luffy, the new user of the Nika Fruit. Additionally, there is a possibility that Dr. Vegapunk’s message contains hidden truths that he may be revealing in his recording.

Final thoughts

While some believe that the Iron Giant may have a soul and that this could open the door for the introduction of alchemy in One Piece, it is important to remember that this is merely a fan theory. As with previous theories, readers should approach it with caution.
