ONE PIECE CHAPTER 1132: ADVENTURE IN ELBAPH

[Wano Never Happened]

I think Loki is one those guys that thinks World=Home Nation(Elbaf).

Oh yeah, I think you may be right about that. And I think his power is probably overexaggerated in a sense - we'll have to see what his role will be.

I was more thinking about the line from a meta perspective. It's odd to me to introduce another 'End-of-the-World' as a potential plot point, when just around ten chapters ago the story pretty plainly introduced the ACTUAL main 'End-of-the-World' plot point. That was, at least in my mind, supposed to drive the story to get to its finale, but now it seems like the story has already forgotten about it.

As much as we can meme as readers about how pointless a lot of Vegapunk's speech was for us, in-universe it is the biggest deal ever. The stakes can't get much higher, but what kind of dialogue have we had from the Straw Hats about it? Pretty much nothing. That just creates a strange tone for me, as much as I may enjoy some of the panels this chapter.

Well there were rumors in the japanese community about Elbaf arc being a last minute decision and Oda originally wanting to skip it even after Wano concluded. Provided this is true (which is a big if) it's highly possible Elbaf adds 3-4 extra years to the Oda's 5 year final saga ending plan.

Oda did make a statement about forcing Luffy to go to Elbaf too. He didn't say Elbaf but he did imply it and the SHs were planning to go to Elbaf with Stella ofc:

If he had skipped Elbaf, it would be the most unforgivable thing he ever did storywise regardless. Absolutely unforgivable.

Brah it looks so small....feels far more underwhelming

 

[Sir Yasheen]

Cool idea, but how do you explain the whirlpools

Dragon mythos. It’s not an uncommon theme in eastern myths about dragons being able to control the weather (Kaido does the same) and are gods of the seas. So wouldn’t be a big shocker if in verse dragons have similar powers. Would explain the fuck out of the Edd war.

Forum is so dead there is barely any debate in here. Meehhh chapter imo. Not much going on...

There is also a different interpretation of this, beside the place. That route could also mean that he meant to take another way how they reach elbaf, like dorry and broggy not arriving in egghead for example or them actually not making it out egghead safely

I think it's simply a fun way for Oda to say "I wanted to write the end of One Piece, but Luffy said no and he went to Elbaf regardless" Hence showing that Luffy's will influence Oda's writing.

He did that already went talking about how he is not planning stuff and the characters just do whatever the hell they want based on their personnalities.

In other words, characters are making Oda write the story and not the opposite. I like this poetic vision of storytelling

Could be, oda rarely sticks to his own plans

Is this cliffhanger character linked to your bear-skin/berserk DF theory?

Didn't Saul pass out? Why is Robin not nervous?

She was nowhere near him?
She's yet to find his cold corpse.

what is wrong with the website

And yet he does. He is just incapable of timing it correctly.

Imho, Erbaf was already going to be a key point.

 

[vikas]

Most likely he saw it from Roger and learned more from Oharas research.

Crackpot theory would be the D stands for dragon and Luffy will learn it from a real dragon that Scoppers been taking care of that hatched from the egg on the oro Jackson explaining why the ship is black and Scoppers burned to fuck

Roger ate that egg

 

[Sir Yasheen]

Roger ate that egg

Bro had a big ass omelette

Not sure, He seems to be the guy who met Crocus, probably a Samurai from Wano,
I think Joy Boy's Nakama are Alive

So this guy might be Joy Boy's Zoro,
Just like Zunisha was his Chopper & Iron Robot was his Franky,

Of course. You guyz do not understand what I'm saying.

Oda is speaking in a poetic words here. He is saying that it's his characters that makes the story on their own, not him.

It's a way to to say that the characters of One Piece are just so exceptionnal that they create their own story.

 

[Natalija]

I love it, they're so cheerful

Though it did cross my mind that something terrible should happen once they land, for the sake of some drama.
