The One Piece Manga Will Soon Begin the Highly Anticipated Elbaf Arc
As predicted, the journey to the Land of Giants is about to begin. In One Piece chapter 1126, it was revealed that two days after the Egghead incident, the Straw Hat Pirates had been separated.

Luffy, Zoro, Sanji, Nami, Usopp, and Chopper have been separated from each other. Nami is seen wearing a Viking outfit and appears to be in a room resembling a Lego setup. However, the underlying reason for this situation has yet to be revealed.
Many fans speculate that this is due to the “Man Marked by Flames.” Up to now, the identity of this character remains unknown, but he is said to be the holder of the Road Poneglyph that is essential for reaching Laugh Tale.

Kid previously mentioned: “The ‘Man Marked by Flames’ could also mean the final key to reach Laugh Tale, where the One Piece is currently being kept.”
According to Laffitte – one of the 10 commanders of the Blackbeard Pirates, the phrase “The Man Marked by Flames” is noted on a dark ship. However, the person who sails near him will likely be swallowed by the raging whirlpools, suggesting he possesses a dangerous power.
Details from Chapter 1126 of One Piece Raise Many Questions Among Fans
One fan proposed a theory: “The members of the Straw Hat Pirates who were separated are precisely those with tattoos shaped like an X. Vivi will definitely meet six members of the Straw Hats in a few chapters! Additionally, the whirlpool created by the ‘Man Marked by Flames’ can be lethal for ships.”
“There is a possibility that Sunny could be lost because the ‘Man Marked by Flames’ has drawn them into a violent whirlpool,” another fan commented.
A particularly enthusiastic fan speculated: “Six members of the Straw Hats have already encountered the ‘Man Marked by Flames’ and the room Nami is in must contain a Poneglyph. It’s the final Poneglyph.”
