After more than two decades since she was first mentioned in Eiichiro Oda , Elbaf finally enters the scene. This is the second arc of One Piece , and fans are beginning to see important revelations about the world's history as the Straw Hat Pirates advance toward the coveted One Piece. However, this journey may take longer than they imagined.
Elbaf's warning: “Time Lost”
One Piece Chapter 1132 finds all the Straw Hat Pirates reunited in Elbaf, but also introduces a mysterious message from Louis Arnote, the original adventurer who named Little Garden. In his message, he warns: "Adventurers, do not regret the time lost here... Do not stay longer than necessary."
This "lost time" is striking. The warning doesn't seem to be related solely to enjoying the island's majestic surroundings. It suggests something more enigmatic, as if Elbaf operated in a different time than the rest of the world. The island's unique geography and climate already indicate something special about its nature.
A new dynamic for the time jump
One Piece 's first time jump brought significant changes to the Straw Hats. Now, everything indicates that the next time jump will alter the rest of the world while Luffy and his crew remain isolated on Elbaf. Much like Wano, where important events unfolded throughout the rest of the seas during the arc, Elbaf appears to be a unique place of isolation.
The giants of Elbaf show little interest in news from the outside world, except for a few specific events, such as Luffy's defeat of Big Mom in Wano. Furthermore, Arnote's message implies that time may pass faster on the island than in the rest of the world. This would create a different dynamic, where the world would advance while the Straw Hats remain largely unchanged.
The Future of the World in One Piece
Dr. Vegapunk 's final message stating that the seas are rising, the world could be drastically different when Luffy and his crew leave Elbaf. If the years truly do pass faster on the island, other Emperors may take advantage of this to get closer to the One Piece.
We don't yet know the exact impact of this time dilation phenomenon, but it's clear that the final saga of One Piece holds big surprises. All that remains is to see how this mysterious island will shape the future of the seas and the Straw Hat Pirates' journey.
