In chapter 1124, the Straw Hats start celebrating with the giants. Analyzing this scene, we can see that everyone is drinking from a mug, without exception.
Two chapters later, in 1126, the party continues. Sanji asks a giant if the drink is very strong. The giant replies that it’s called "Absinthe: The Green Fairy" and that if they’re not careful, it can cause hallucinations.
However, something very strange happens after the party: the original formation of the five Straw Hats—composed of Luffy, Zoro, Nami, Usopp, and Sanji—has disappeared from the ship. But why only them?
I believe the answer lies in chapter 1126 itself. In the panels where they are celebrating, the only Straw Hats still drinking absinthe are Luffy, Zoro, Nami, Usopp, and Sanji. Oda made a point of drawing each of them with the absinthe mug in hand twice in this chapter.
The others—Chopper, Robin, Franky, Brook, and Jinbe—are not drinking absinthe in this chapter. Again, Oda made a point of drawing them twice, but this time to highlight that there is NO mug of absinthe in his hands.
I think that only the original five Straw Hats drank too much absinthe at this party to the point of causing hallucinations, which ultimately led them to the mysterious island where Elbaf "begins."
But wait... there’s still something strange. Luffy is NOT drinking absinthe in chapter 1126. The only moment Oda draws Luffy with a mug in hand is in chapter 1124, and right after that, he occupies both hands with giant meats. So, Luffy didn’t drink enough to hallucinate.
As we see in chapter 1127, there are a series of "continuity errors" in Oda’s drawings, like a sword that transforms into an axe, etc. But the most curious "error" is Luffy using a simple Gear 3 while calling it Gear 4. But the biggest mystery of this chapter is: where is Luffy's straw hat?
I believe this is NOT LUFFY. Zoro has already noticed this, as in the final panels he doesn’t take his eyes off Luffy, as if he’s suspicious of something. Could this Luffy be Prince Loki?
Luffy is very lucid and separated from everyone else.
