Controversial The Events of Elbaf

[Yoho]

With Dory and Brogy here to back up the strawhats it's 100% guarantee the next arc will be elbaf

So I here's what I believe will happen

1. I don't think it will be a major action filled arc I think it will be more of a Zou type arc mostly plot progression and lore building so 60 chapters or less

2. Saul reuniting with Robin will be a major plot point of this Arc, and he may be revealed to be the man with the burned scar

3. One of the giants will have a message to luffy from Shanks idk what the message will say but I believe he may leave one

4. Loki reveal- We'll finally see Loki and he'll either be a noble leader and the strongest giant by far or he'll be another Orochi type perverse and actually really weak

5. Usopp challenges a giant to a duel and pulls out a win akin to the David vs Goliath story showing how brains can over come brawn

6. A Major event that sets up the next arc

I believe that is what may happen during the elbaf arc

With the failure of Egghead and the reveal that Giants worship Nika, that would make them a very inconvenient island in the near future.

Sakazuki
Gorosei
Holy knights

They’ll be sent off to Elbaf to kill the population. Gatling will be introduced by killing Loki just like he killed the king of god valley.

Meanwhile to pick up Vegapunk Kuma and Bonney, dragon Iva Sabo koala and a few other revs will go to Elbaf and meet the straw hats.

I think it could be revealed that,as Luffy is basically Nika's reincarnation,there are other God's reincarnations and they live in Elbaf. Luffy will meet these Gods reincarnations,people who maybe are not even known by the World Government,and some of them may be evil (like Loki) and be the villains of the arc.

OR

Kidd comes back and wants revenge 😂

The Elbaf library will definitely play a huge part in the arc and may be where Robin will tell the crew and the readers more about the Void Century, the Lunarians and Nika as she reads the books but with the usual key details left out in usual Oda fashion which probably won't get revealed until Laugh Tale, Lode Star Island or Mariejois. The Vegapunks who survived will probably choose to live there and carry on their research with Saul's help while also giving more plot exposition.

If One Piece ends before Oda kicks the bucket, I guess Elbaf will be the island Robin retires to after the adventure's over in order to continue expanding the library and be close to Saul.

Kidd will be revealed to be alive and may be planning to assassinate Shanks or decides to unite with Luffy and Law for the next big battle against either the marines or Blackbeard.

If Kid Is alive I think he'll likely be in a cell

100% guaranteed Elbaf will NEVER HAPPEN

Elbaf already came to them instead of their plan to go to Elbaf.

In fact it is to wonder if this is still an escape arc. Maybe marine has to escape here and they can just go to someone else since Elbaf would be their mouse hole.

More like a giant's pet bird cage. Poor boy just can't catch a break.

I have hope that Dorry and Broggy are there to escort them safely to Elbaf, but if the Straw hats never actually go to Elbaf, it will be the most disappointing and stupid move Oda has ever made. Like a massive copout of gigantic proportions.

I think both things will happen

Dory or Brogy idk which is which said they where there to pick them up

It looks like it was Broggy.

I just hope they take them to Elbaf and not somewhere else. I still wonder how Oda will explain how they got out of their eternal battle. I can only guess that Oimo and Kashi must've told them that the tradition changed on Elbaf or a giant priest gave them the okay to stop?

 

[Date]

agree that probably will be something like this, with the SH leafting Elbaf with the four Road Poneglyphs and going to Laftel, also probably a lot of things will happen in the world while the arc happen, but as Elbaf seems to be quite isolated and with the giants military they SH probably wont discover about those events until the left the Island.

Yes, it will be a short arc, but Zou is not a good analogy. Elbaf will be like Jaya and Sabaody.

Just as Cricket, Rayleigh prepared ship for Skypiea/Fishman Island, Beckman will perapre ship for a trip to the Moon.
In Jaya Luffy punched arrogant pirate Bellamy, on Sabaody arrogant CD Charlos. In Elbaf, Luffy will punch arrogant CD and pirate Shanks.
Bellamy had hurt Cricket, Charlos had hurt Hachan, Shanks will hurt Bartolomeo. Hachan sells octopus meat, while he is an octopush fishman. Is he a cannibal? Barto is called cannibal.
Jaya ended with captain Blackbeard, Darknesslogia user, attacking. At the end of Sabaody, Admiral Kizaru, Lightlogia user, attacked. Elbaf will end with Admiral Blackbeard attacking. LIke Rayleigh, Shanks will take the Admiral on so the Strawhats can flee.

 

[Salah WG]

Elbaf won't be Next Arc (Unless They visit it Twice)
Luffy is Enjoying his Gear 5 just like He was flexing his Power in Wano Act 1
Soon, He will get his Reality Check Injection (Similar to his Act 1 Defeat)

Oda isn't Permanently dealing with anyone, cuz He wants them all to be Witnesses
He is simply Collecting Viewers

Vegapunk
Bonney
Kuma
Kizaru
Saturn
Dorry/Brogy
Lucci
Stussy
BB Pirates
Neo Mads
Morgan
Vivi
Caribou
Marco
Bakkin
... etc

I won't even be Surprised if York actually did like Ginny & actually sent words out to increase her Chances of Escaping (Hence why BBP came)
Just wait for "That Person" vs "That Person"

Yes I am on such a train for years. Love most of these points!

I also think that the Figarland family is tied to the Elbaf royalty. Garling could indeed come here with the Holy knights in order to purge giants.

I also hope we get some kind of attack on titan reference where a few high skilled fighters just swipe through a big giant warrior troop.

Ngl there is so much that can be done in the Elbaf arc.

Honestly Ive been going big on my hedge bets for Elbaf: I think its going to be One Piece's grandest arc by far in terms of its conflict and what it accomplishes.

Currently, unless it is some isolated arc that has nothing to do with the rest of the world, I believe Elbaf is the beginning of the grand war for One Piece.

As Egghead nears its final fights and the possibility of "at least" an Admiral losing (we'll see about the Gorosei), I would imagine that this is a declaration of war to the Marines and WG, and this the Marines in the least will be sent to Elbaf to start a war (so sort of like @Sir Yasheen 's thought, but less WG oriented, just the Marines). But on top of this, I think Blackbeard will become involved towards the end of the arc as well as Shanks.

I think that with this, we will see the reunion of Vegapunk, Kuma and Dragon and the potential open history between Dragon and Akainu. I dont expect the full RA here, just Dragon for some characterization with Akainu and Luffy. The Big Mom Pirates will have some payoff here, since the Giants do not like them, which I think will lead to their plot with trying to get Pudding back from Blackbeard.

All of this will eventually lead to the defeat of the current Marine force, leading us to Lodestar/Laugh Tale and the fights between the 4 Yonko for One Piece (along with SWORD allies and the SHF)....all while the WG begins the operations to destroy the world.

Either its this or Akainu is involved entirely with the 4 Yonko war for One Piece, because he, Blackbeard and Shanks are all caught in a web of story payoffs with each other, plus Luffy:

- Marines intend to fight Shanks (Ryokugyu said this)
- Blackbeard captured Garp (and Puddingl
- Shanks is going after Luffy's fleet and Blackbeard
- Luffy likely will fight all 3 anyway.

Its just a question of when and what order, but I would "guess" Akainu first at Elbaf, then Blackbeard or Shanks at Lodestar, ending with Blackbeard or Shanks at Laugh Tale. Where all 3 parties are involved with each other as they slowly get eliminated from the chess board across 3 arcs. Then its Imu at the end of the series.

And again, if its not this and Elbaf has its own side villain, then its just lends credence to everyone fighting everyone by the EoS anyway.

I just hope Elbaf isn’t another Wano situation where they were hyped only to be…

We have two giants clearing a portion of a buster call right now.
