Speculations Significance of the ancient building

[Monkey D Theories]

In Elbaf, there exists an ancient building that is 3 millennia old.

From the dating, as well as the Harley, it seems likely the building is from the first world.

As well know, the first world was destroyed by the god of earth and the serpent of flames.

Given Loki’s snakelike eyes and the fact he’s said to be able to destroy the world, I think it’s possible he has the hellfire snake DF.

I think the building, being from a world destroyed by the snake, could contain some sort of counter to the snake in order to prevent the snake from destroying the world in the future. Perhaps a clone of the hellfire snake fruit or another fruit entirely that counters that of the snake.

Oda likes to reuse ideas. Momo had a copy of Kaido’s fruit and they had a brief face off in wano before Luffy beat him.

Given Loki’s affinity for Rocks and his hatred of Shanks, I think him allying with Teach is inevitable. When that ultimately happens I think Oda might reuse the idea he did with Momo on Hajrudin.

Basically having Haj get the clone of the snake fruit and face off against Loki in the final war, holding his own, before inevitably losing and getting swapped out with a stronger fighter.

Loki is an ally.
If the first world, or any world for that matter, had found a counter to a world-destroying entity, it wouldn't be sitting in a ruined place, but in the hands of capable guardians (like the anti-Pluton plans with the shipwrights of W7 or with the legendary DF of Elbaf and the royal family).

I find it hard to believe. That would just make the SHs far too overpowered.

Wouldnt make more sense if Teach got Loki himself, whereas Luffy got the alliance of Elbaf.

I mean you say this, but that’s literally what happened to the clone of the seiryu fruit

All I know is, Oda needs to find some way for Hajrudin to succeed Dorry, Brogy, and Harald. So I’d expect the hand of plot to be heavy. Like with Shirahoshi and Momo.

Well, we also know that Elbaph is supposedly, "the birthplace of war". And the wintry "Underworld Realm" is also called "The First World". The Sun and Astral Realms aren't called the Second and Third Worlds. Only the Underworld Realm has a number.

So, maybe both of those were literal? Maybe the Ancient Building was originally built to observe the creation of Elbpah? Terraforming the area and making it larger, so that more people could live on it. Expanding the land. Or maybe it was a military facility built to claim this land as one faction's own, which lead to a big war with another faction?

The Ancient Building may also have been built to observe the growth of Elbaph's Yggdrasil Tree. This DOES seem to be another special tree in this world. Like many other special trees we've seen throughout the story. Like Wano's giant bonsai, Ohara's Tree of Knowledge, and the Adam and Eve Trees, among others. It's possible ALL these Trees had Ancient Buildings built next to them, but this one on Elbaph is the only one to survive for 3,000 years. The Trees are probably important to the history of this world, somehow.

Chances are, Lilith is going to find something in there. But, I'm just not sure what. Maybe she'll accidentally activate something that nullifies Imu's Abyss powers, causing Imu and the God's Knights to retreat? I could see this building having some sort of "force field" it can generate.

Some people say it looks like another Giant Robot to them. And...I can KIND Of see that, if I squint. But, it doesn't look THAT much like a robot to me.

It could have something to do with Devil Fruits. I still think it's odd that there's wild animals just stumbling across Devil Fruits, like Biblio the Owl and the Lion-Cat. Maybe it was one of the original Devil Fruit Research facilities? Like the Ancient equivalent to the factory in Dressrossa.

But, it's hard to say for sure, right now. It could be a lot of things. We just don't have enough information to really even guess.
