As the Straw Hat Pirates and Giants embark on their journey to Elbaf, the Elbaf Arc is now within reach. Here is a preview of what you can anticipate from this upcoming arc.
The last segment of One Piece’s story commences on Egghead Island, a futuristic locale that houses Vegapunk’s laboratory. Upon learning of the Marines’ pursuit of Vegapunk, the crew hastily planned their escape to Elbaf.
Despite the intervention of several Marines, including an Admiral and the Gorosei, who put their plans on hold, the situation escalated dramatically as they faced some of the most formidable villains. Tragically, Vegapunk ultimately sacrifices his life, but Chapter 1123 reveals that it was all part of his calculated plan.
Following the return of the Gorosei to Mariejois, the crew embarked on their journey to Elbaf accompanied by the Giants. Fans have eagerly awaited this upcoming arc since the events of the Little Garden Arc in Arabasta, and we have analyzed what is to come.
Is there a release date for One Piece Elbaf Arc?
As of now, an official release date for the One Piece Elbaf Arc has not been announced.
Even though the Straw Hats embarked on their journey in Chapter 1123, it will still be a few weeks before they reach Elbaf. Prior to the start of the arc, we will need to gather information on the current whereabouts of Kizaru and Saturn. Furthermore, it is highly probable that the crew will receive increased bounties after this.
The official website of Shonen Jump announced in May 2024 that the Elbaf design for One Piece character figures will be released in November of the same year. This confirms that the upcoming arc will begin either in November or earlier.
What will happen in the Elbaf Arc?
The upcoming arc in Elbaf promises to bring forth exciting new adventures and unveil numerous mysteries. This massive arc is expected to feature several events, including the following:
Robin’s reunion with Saul
Despite thinking Saul had perished, Robin discovers in the Egghead Arc that he is still alive and residing in Elbaf. She learns that he has been diligently studying the Poneglyphs to ensure Ohara’s research will not be in vain. As Vegapunk did not disclose all knowledge about the Void Century, it is possible that Saul has uncovered additional information.
Nika’s Story
According to Elbaf mythology, Nika is the name of a legendary warrior who was worshipped as the Sun God by slaves since ancient times. Although his existence is mainly documented in ancient texts, the majority of these texts have been lost over time.
The Buccaneers have kept his legend alive, although the race is now on the brink of extinction. Fortunately, the warriors of Elbaf possess more knowledge about the renowned warrior, and they are willing to share it with the crew.
The Straw Hats Power-Up
Usopp has always dreamt of visiting Elbaf, the land of honorable warriors, ever since he encountered Dorry and Brogy in Little Garden. As a brave warrior of the sea, it has been his ultimate goal to set foot on this legendary land.
He may gain new knowledge throughout the arc, enhancing his overall abilities. Additionally, the crew typically acquires new powers in each arc. Considering Elbaf’s reputation as a land of formidable warriors, we can anticipate some extraordinary moments for the Straw Hat crew.
Prince Loki Introduction
At this point, our knowledge of Prince Loki is limited to his failed proposal to Lola. Big Mom originally sought an alliance with the Giants, but after her daughter’s rejection and escape, the Giants became her adversaries.
The silhouette of One Piece has been the only thing revealed so far. Furthermore, fans will also discover more about the royal family and their potential alignment as allies or enemies.
The Fate of Kid Pirates Revealed
After being defeated by Shanks, the crew’s fate remains uncertain. Shanks utilizes Divine Departure to overpower Kid and Killer, causing them to lose consciousness. The remaining members of the crew are seemingly submerged in the ocean after Dorry and Brogy deliver a definitive strike. Despite their slim chances of survival, the show has yet to officially declare their demise.
The One Piece manga will soon commence a fresh arc, however, it has already unveiled the true power of Shanks before doing so.
