Why not God Valley in Elbaph?
I think it’s a strong possibility ^^
Some JP YouTubers are already talking about Elbaf potentially being the start of the final war & I’m kinda leaning towards that as well with the way Oda is setting things up.
A few chapters ago Gunko, spoke about using the painter to travel to Marijoea so a YouTuber I watch speculated on the potential of the SHs using the painter to do the exact same ting. He also spoke on the Elbaf’s reference to Norse mythology & ragnarok in particular potentially translating to the final war.
Some potential set-up so far imo:
- Even though kiringham’s DF is OP & has pretty nice synergy with Sommers, they just don’t feel like a sufficient enough threat for the military might currently on Elbaf (Scopper, Yonko Luffy’s crew, Loki, Dorry & Broggy etc.) and any one that says otherwise is just refusing to think logically for whatever reason💀. Which is why I think Oda’s keeping most of the big guns away to level the playing field a bit. M3s inability to sense the God’s knights is also a convenient plot tool.
- Scopper keeps banging on about the potential of Elbaf’s ruin & even specifically brought up the end times this chapter which is very interesting wording given Ragnarok is quite literally the end times.
- Loki is clearly being built up as powerful ally & Oda seems to hiding his abilities for some reason. Prolly wants to reveal it when the main antagonists come into play. Moreover Oda for some reason has gone out of his way to state that it’d take Loki a full month to heal. Also found it particularly interesting that there was no emphasis on Sanji’s attack cuisine this chapter as Oda could’ve easily used that as a way to speed up Loki’s recovery. In the first place a whole month for recovery is pretty weird in OP.
- Also we still don’t know shit about the heavenly world on Elbaf. So maybe that’s where the final battle takes place. Also I spoke about the possibility of the SHs using the painter to travel up marijoea but could also be that the heavenly layer is somehow connected to marijoea given the naming & the structure of Elbaf. Heavenly World/Marijoa -> Sun World/Grandline -> Underworld/Impel Down.
So yh I think there’s still much more to come from Elbaf ^^
