One Piece manga returns with chapter 1132 after an unexpected hiatus, bringing a major highlight: the first complete glimpse of Elbaf , home of the giants.
After decades of anticipation, the Elbaf Arc finally began with chapter 1132, revealing the grandeur of this island that has fascinated fans for years. During the hiatus, Eiichiro Oda took a break to visit the set of the Netflix live-action adaptation and also dealt with health issues. This delayed the release of new chapters, but the return was worth the wait.
One Piece 1132: Elbaf Island, Home of the Giants
In the previous chapter, we saw Luffy and part of the Straw Hat crew scattered across an unknown area of Elbaf, while the rest of the crew approached the coast. Now, chapter 1132 not only reunites the Straw Hats, but also shows the colossal scale of the giants' village on Elbaf. The island is divided into three levels — the Astral World, the Solar World (where the giants' village is located), and the Underworld.
Luffy, with the help of the giants Gerd and Goldberg, friends of Hajrudin, manages to escape Rodo while preparing to explore the Sun World. The arrival on the island is an exciting moment for Luffy and Usopp, who have dreamed of visiting Elbaf since the Little Garden Arc.
Still, as with all the islands visited by the Straw Hat Pirates, there's a dark mystery lurking. Ultimately, whether it's a hidden enemy on Elbaf or an external threat, the adventure promises many more surprises.
