Finally, Elbaf's arc has arrived in One Piece , two decades after the legendary island of giants was first mentioned in the manga. Now, Eiichiro Oda, creator of the work, promises an even bigger turnaround for next year.
Since the beginning of the Final Saga, fans have been following the preparations for the definitive race in search of the One Piece treasure. With the arrival of Luffy and his crew on the island of Elbaf, introduced in the Little Garden arc, the mystery surrounding the island begins to be unraveled.
After years of narrative construction, it is clear that Oda had big surprises in store for Elbaf's arc. As Luffy and the Straw Hats explore the giants' island, the rest of the world will also undergo drastic changes. During the Jump Festa 2025 event, Oda made it clear that there are big plans for the future of this arc.
What to Expect from the Elbaf Arc in One Piece?
“We have finally arrived at Elbaf!”, declared Eiichiro Oda in a special message to fans. “ It is a peaceful kingdom, but this peace will be interrupted by the arrival of one specific man! Meanwhile, other parts of the seas will also face turmoil! ”
This statement suggests great events on the island of the giants, as well as the world.
The most intriguing passage, however, is when Oda reveals: “ And eventually, that man will begin to shake the world! ” This statement generates speculation about who this mysterious figure will be and how he will influence the events to come. Furthermore, Oda warns fans to prepare: “ Take a deep breath now, because soon you may not be able to surface! Look forward to a SUPER year of One Piece in 2025! ”
As such, the end of Egghead's arc brought Dr. Vegapunk's revelation that the world has been slowly sinking for years. Now, Oda's message takes on a darker tone, suggesting that events in Elbaf could accelerate this process.
Ultimately, whatever big twist Oda promises, it will only be the beginning of even bigger events that will guide fans to the climax of this epic story that marked generations.
