We seem to be wrapping up this Cover Story. Wano Act 4 is finally nearly over. So, what do you all think we're getting next? Will we get Wano Act 5? Will we find out where Jack went? I swear, if we get Wano Act 5 directly after this...*grumble grumble*

So...there's a 3000 year old scientific facility covered in fungus just hanging out inside Yggdrasil. This might even be the original source of how Yggdrasil grew. That's...a thing Oda just dropped on us. I'm not sure what to make of this. It does KIND of look like the classic image of the Ancient Kingdom. Hmm...I do feel like this lends some support to some of the "terraforming" theories that have been floating around.

It's nice to see Bonney and Lilith again. And I guess they have something fun to explore together, now. Oh...are they going to press a button they shouldn't and blow up the island the way Franky did to Baldimore?

It's kind of funny how Franky just assumes the Storm Cloud is just another weird Elbaph animal.

"A giant ME?!" Heh. Hey...wait a second. Do all the "Fears" actually parallel a Strawhat? Luffy is Nika. Brook's the Draugr. Nami's the Storm Cloud. Usopp could be "Loki". Chopper's the Ghost with a Tophat. Jinbe's the Kraken. Robin is the Mom. Franky...probably fits the Helmeted Bear the best? Sanji could be the Wolf (he acts that way around the ladies). Which leaves the Dragon, Jormungandr, and the Bird for Zoro and...I guess Vivi and someone else? Huh. I don't know if this totally works, but it works with about 2/3rds of them. There's 12 "Fears", but only 10 official Strawhats.

They just push Colon away for wanting to help. Can't blame them, but I guess there's still a little bit of that Elbaph roughness in some of the older generation.

Nami's all fired up trying to save the kids! So, she teams up with Colon to take his ship! Well...that's one more child they've endangered! Kind of working against yourself there, Nami!

Gunko's favorite song is "New World"...which is sung by Brook. Gunko is one of Brook's fans?! OH...oh, that's going to be a fun meeting. Gunko might actually give Brook her panties, if he asks her. Oh my, that's why she doesn't wear pants! She's always ready to show them to Brook if she ever runs across him! Oda...you mad genius!

Dorry and Brogy finally got out of the bathroom long enough to pull off a Hakoku Sovereignty and kill the Dragon! Oh, it brings back memories!

And Gyaban's with them, which...might not be a good thing for Gyaban. Please don't die, old man! This has death flags written all over it.

This chapter showed pretty perfectly why I've gradually lost interest in Robin while gaining interest in Nami over the course of post-TS.

Robin has done nothing so far in Elbaf besides have an emotional reunion with Saul and that trend continued here, while Nami is now actively involved in the plot to find the Holy Knights after already helping half of the crew to get free of Road's Legoland and then exploring Aurust Castle + meeting Gaban with Luffy and Zoro.
 
Hilarious that one Holy Knight is enough to subdue an entire nation without their strongest pirate crew around

And niqqas will say Elbaf > Tottoland :DanySquint:
Start of Elbaf arc readers were hyping up “this is their arc” Giants as the strongest nation there ever was

Only for them to get hypetooled by HKs to showcase basic display of their abilities :kobeha:

Funniest switch up I ever seen
Are you like fucking dumb? No seriously? The Holy Knights haven't subdued the entire nation of Elbaf, all they have done so far is use their powers to try to kidnap some children and use some monsters to distract the Giants.

Trying having them fight all the Giants at Elbaf and they would lose, if they could easily takeover Elbaf then they wouldn't need to do all this trickery.

Elbaf>Totto Land and any other nations is still facts though, when it was stated in the manga that Elbaf is the strongest nation in the world, this is not some random hype the fandom made up, this is something that Oda himself literally states in the main manga itself.

Even if the the three Holy Knights can take down one or two or even three Giants, but against an entire army, they are not winning.

Village giants are STRUGGLING to beat dream monsters that Kilingham conjured out of his ass and remotely controlling while eating imaginary dinner. Several villages getting attacked. Saul who is hailed as one of the stronger giants and can use CoA, can’t even get past Sommer thorns or negate Gunko arrow

HKs are not there to subjugate Elbaf they are there to ABSORB IT into the WG. They are not under orders to destroy the country. They are treating this like a game, like God Valley 2.0

Come in here trynna start conversation by calling others dumb, like you got a stick up your ass or smth? Learn how to read first before you type maybe?

Yonko crew >>> Elbaf. No Yonko crew is losing to a bunch of these glorified fodder. Cracker summons as many soldiers as there are Warrior Giants alone and clears house. Kata’s AoE suffocates them all. Smoothie can size up to Dorry/Broggy and hack and slash her way too. Even a 6-yr old Linlin almost decimated a wholeass village with the eldest legendary warriors around. They have not proven themselves stronger than children dream monsters overall

3 HKs causing a mega shitstorm in Elbaf while eating and dining. Gaban is there. No Giants are a match and each of them already proved they can clear several Giants at once too, while standing still
 
This chapter is a good setup for the Strawhats except M3, maybe there will be some good actions for them ever since Wano's raid.

Elbaph is the land of war in the pass, different civilization had come and gone. The 3000 years old ancient robot might have somewhat participate in a war and got destroyed. The size of Treasure Tree Adam is probably smaller 3000 years ago, so the size of the robot could be bigger way back.

Notice Oda stop covering Lilith's right eye and her personality kinda changed a little. Is she somewhat no longer evil?

Colon doesn't seem like average kid who has a thing to fear of, so dream ability might work on him. Gaban also said he couldn't hold him up, so the invisible thorn might not work like the other kids too. The God's Knights need to up the game if they are going to fight Gaban.

Finally starting to love life again, ironically.
IMO Kidd, is in Heaven's World. It's why we haven't seen him at all, he's in the most isolated part of the nation. Kidd is being hailed as a hero of Elbaph.

Post automatically merged:

I have a feeling we're finally gonna get a full reveal of imu this arc tbh. Xebec too hopefully.
