Fans are eagerly awaiting the official release of One Piece chapter 1155.However, mangaka Eiichiro Oda has just released a colored artwork. In the commemorative illustration for One Piece's 28th anniversary, released for One Piece Day (July 22nd), we see Luffy and Usopp in the spotlight—with an atmosphere of joy, chaos, and adventure reminiscent of the best moments of the sagas.
- Kaiju No. 8: Kafka and Kikoru join the first division
- One Punch Man: New details about season 3 revealed
This is no coincidence. In One Piece, in Eiichiro Oda's story, whenever a character receives this type of visual prominence, especially on symbolic dates or chapter covers, there is a strong connection to the future. Usopp being close to Luffy in this artwork, along with the background architecture and setting that strongly resemble Nordic or mythological.
Honestly, if the Elbaf arc finally becomes the stage for Usopp's consecration as the "Valiant of the Seas," I think we'll be witnessing one of the most exciting arcs since Enies Lobby. He's deserved this narrative redemption for a long time—and Elbaf seems like the perfect place for it.
