Fans of the manga series One Piece have been eagerly awaiting the Elbaf arc for nearly two decades. After such a long wait, the demand from fans is incredibly high.
However, One Piece appears ready to dive into the depths of a unique artistic realm as it begins this new arc with some shocking details.
Following the dramatic clash with the God of the Sea and the sacrifice of the enigmatic robot Emeth, the Straw Hat crew, along with Bonney, Lilith, and other mysterious figures, have made their way from Egghead Island. One group remains on the Thousand Sunny, while the other stays aboard the ship of the enigmatic individuals.
Two days after the events on Egghead Island, Luffy, Zoro, Nami, Usopp, Sanji, and Chopper suddenly disappear without a trace. Those remaining on the Elbaf ship are left in shock due to this sudden turn of events.
As it stands, we still have no idea what has transpired with Luffy’s group or why they have vanished so inexplicably.
However, by the end of the chapter, we get a glimpse of the separation occurring. It turns out that Nami has somehow managed to distance herself from the other crew members, leading to a scenario that feels almost like a Lego construction. Interestingly, Nami isn’t dressed in her usual attire but rather in a Viking-like outfit (often worn by the residents of Elbaf) and carries a sword at her side.
One Piece chapter 1126 concludes here, which leaves us uncertain about what happens next, or how Nami ended up in that mysterious room. The next chapter will likely provide answers to these questions.
In addition to the separation of the Straw Hat crew, chapter 1126 also highlights Luffy’s determination and the underlying substance of the crew’s enduring spirit. In a fierce battle between the crew and the notorious Red-Haired Pirates, Shanks’s crew manages to secure a victory, yet a dark plan looms for those who have fallen into their trap.
Bartolomeo’s crew has been granted a special drug by the members of the Bartolomeo group to strengthen their abilities and ensure they can support Luffy in the upcoming battles. However, rather than using this drug for its intended purpose, Bartolomeo has opted to consume it himself, sacrificing his own well-being to protect Luffy.
Of course, the special drug is a double-edged sword; it serves as a test of loyalty for Bartolomeo against Luffy from Shanks.
As things seem to unfold, it appears that Bartolomeo and his crew must confront terrifying odds. When Bartolomeo’s crew tries to escape aboard the Going Luffy-senpai, Yasopp strikes, causing chaos on the ship. Witnesses report: “Near the Garteo sea… Bartolomeo’s ship has capsized… The fate of the crew is uncertain…”
Moreover, we also receive confirmation regarding Garp’s situation, as he is reportedly still alive but imprisoned on Hachinosu.
One Piece Chapter 1126 is set to officially release on September 15, 2024.
