Current Events How come the entire effin nation of Elbaf has only 10 children and barely 20 NPC characters to offer?

[Thaidakar]

Seriously - let's forget the WG, how did this bum ass nation protect its sovereignty?

Shanks came to power 6 years ago. Give him 2 years pre yonko status, where we assume he protected the island. How was Linlin unable to take them over for decades?

Or kaido? Elbaf is maybe a 2 day flight away from wano.

Dory and Brogy weren't even there for the past 50 (?) years.

Even Loki was gone for almost a decade.
Gaban was gone for a very long time too.

It just doesn't add up. Elbaf is just a bunch of big ass woke oneshot worth crybabies playing warrior.

It's ridiculous.

 

[Sir Yasheen]

Because the WG only robbed one school/branch from this massive tree. There are tons of villages within Elbaf

Which we wont see

Which we wont see

do you want this arc to be turned to another wano

 

[SkySanji]

Iirc it says they took ten children, not that Elbaf only has ten children.

 

[Longleg Larry]

How was Linlin unable to take them over for decades?

Loki was free for a lot of that time

Or kaido? Elbaf is maybe a 2 day flight away from wano.

He went a different route. Gathered an Axis of Evil & (kinda) made giants himself

Even if I admit the next gen of giants is a bunch of candy-asses (I do), I think there's more at play than just the inhabitants. Invaders would be coming into a hostile land completely scaled to giant proportions, including weather patterns & wildlife.

 

[MonsterKaido]

Elbaph is fraud nation. Dorry and Broggy were not there for 100 of years. Loki was sealed. Any yonko would have clapped elbaph. Gaban would be an issue but any top tier yonko beats old gaban.

 

[kekaro]

isnt there still a whole ass realm we didnt see or am i tripping?

 

[Blazing Lion]

Wano wasn't enough for you?

 

[Welkin]

I'm surprised people want to see the "military" of Elbaf so badly

That's one of the main reasons Wano was a slog. A thousand different characters that no one cares about and will be completely irrelevant after the arc is over

I'm willing to suspend my disbelief in favor of better writing

 

[Bad English]

Loki and Harold were 90% of Elbaph military power

 

[RYNO]

go reread 1142 there's more than 10 kids.

 

[D. Plant]

There has to be something to do with the advice 'should not overstay at Elbaph'.

 

[Blahmigooo]

Yes it look like they're less than 100 ppl

"They only invade one part of the branches"
Even so, the incident about this should shook the whole Elbaf
The most important and high profile character like Dorry, Broggy and Jorul himself are present here.
So if this part of the branch/village is having trouble, all fighters and help would come from other sections of the Elbaf as well i believe
And barely we see more than 10-15 Elbaf citizens lol

Those different branches may contain at most 10-15 ppl
So altogether Elbaf, which is like 100 times bigger than normal island have like at most 100 ppl??
Still ridiculous

did they know that lki was chained. this is something that happened 6 years ago so if a yonko decided to attack elbaf like 10 years ago they will lose badly
1 yonko vs loki and his dad (toss up)
yc1 vs gaban (gaban wins pretty easily)
the rest are irrelevant

Because the WG only robbed one school/branch from this massive tree. There are tons of villages within Elbaf

Which makes the HKs' plan even more idiotic.
Would the US as a whole really decide to join the USSR, just because 3 Russian terrorists kidnapped 10 American nobodies from a backwater town in bumfuck Illinois?

If there are thousands of villages, the HKs' efforts are worthless.
If there are only a handful of villages, Elbaf as a whole is worthless and unnecessary in the WG's worldwide schemes.

Harald is irrelevant. Loki is not allied to elbaph though. He seem to be his own thing. And my point stands for 6 years nonetheless.

herald is not he was obviously stronger that dorry and broggy.
2. how would they know that loki was not allied with elbaf

 

[MonsterKaido]

How would they know how powerful loki is?

You need to prove harald is relevant combatant. Not the other way around.

 

[BlackLegFring]

Usually I’d be concerned with such discrepancies, but whatever gets us through Elbaf quicker is alright with me
