Chapter 1113 of the One Piece manga brings forth many significant revelations, with the most important moment occurring at the end of the chapter when Vegapunk announced a crucial message.
This monumental announcement has shaken the entire world, and its main implication is that the entire world is about to sink beneath the sea. This message holds profound significance for the upcoming story arcs in multiple aspects. Although, at present, this does not seem to have any immediate effect on the Straw Hat crew, it certainly suggests the world itself could face an impending disaster.
The long-awaited announcement from Vegapunk has finally surfaced after many months of anticipation.
The significant message from Vegapunk has been foreshadowed in previous chapters of One Piece. The opening of this announcement reveals the gathering of all Celestial Dragons at Egghead Island, marking the power of Saturn.
From that moment on, the Celestial Dragons decided to take action and are attempting to eliminate any new threats emerging on the island. For instance, V. Nusjuro began to confront the Pacifistas and ensured they were no longer operational. Simultaneously, Ju Peter and Warcury focused their efforts on Luffy.
Marcus Mars has arrived at Labophase to eliminate Den Den Mushi, while Saturn is executing essential operations. Initially, the focus was on Luffy, but he has since shifted his attention to Nico Robin.
Regardless of the circumstances, the appearance of the five elders at Egghead Island only emphasizes the widespread nature of Vegapunk’s announcement. In One Piece Chapter 1113, the Straw Hat crew has finally understood what Vegapunk will say about the world. The announcement is: “Our world is about to sink into the sea!”
The first thing the Straw Hats must note is that the overall message has not yet been fully revealed. There are still many details that need clarification. The situation remains ambiguous regarding various aspects. However, the core message of the announcement is that the One Piece world will soon sink beneath the waves.
This is a highly critical announcement and is sure to cause a significant upheaval worldwide. The Straw Hats still have not fully grasped the implications of this announcement. Yet, the first thing the Straw Hats may face when they hear this news is how the world can sink beneath the waves.
After all, the world could be at war everywhere, yet still not be sinking. There must be something specific causing this phenomenon. In reality, it has been a while since the Straw Hats have experienced such an event, and there are many ways the world could potentially be submerged beneath the sea.
Rising sea levels over the years in One Piece
Sea levels in the One Piece world have been steadily rising for quite some time, and this phenomenon is not new. In the Water 7 arc, Iceberg clearly stated that sea levels have been increasingly high over time. This rising sea level has made tidal waves more perilous, with events like Aqua Laguna beginning to pose greater threats.
The Straw Hats noted that the sea levels around Water 7 were significantly lower in previous years. However, over time, sea levels have begun to rise, and the island must now be newly constructed above this rising tide. It is evident that the sea level is unceasingly climbing and will continue to rise even further in the coming years. This is one of the reasons Iceberg still wishes to build a city within the sea, known as Water 7.
Moreover, the rapidly rising sea levels are being exacerbated by recent events in the One Piece world. The destruction of Lulusia has pushed sea levels to rise by almost a meter, leading to several islands being submerged. This is attributed to the use of Mother Flame by Imu on Lulusia. Currently, Egghead Island has the potential to create even more of this Mother Flame, and should such a scenario occur, it could become clear what might happen.
The Celestial Dragons have been clearly demonstrating their desire to dominate, but there are signs of division. Thus, the use of Mother Flame that the Straw Hats have seen at the outset of Egghead Island is likely not the first time, and it certainly won’t be the last. If this trend continues, sea levels will undoubtedly rise several more meters, drastically impacting the entire world.
The One Piece world is closely linked to ancient weapons
Fundamentally, the impending upheaval of the world is intricately connected to the use of ancient weapons. These ancient weapons have been employed in the past, constructed by the people of the ancient kingdom. However, two of them remain largely ineffective, at least for the present.
Pluton is hidden in Wano, Poseidon is the greatest ally of Luffy, and it is certain that neither will cause any harm to the world. However, Uranus is under Imu’s control, and Mother Flame can potentially serve as an energy source for Uranus, enabling it to unleash devastating attacks capable of devastating entire islands. With the power of Uranus, the world could indeed sink.
If the world’s destruction is imminent and the World Government shows signs of weakness, then there would be no choice but to release Mother Flame into the world. With this power, it could potentially wreak havoc on all islands, leading to a catastrophic increase in sea levels. As such, the world potentially sinking could be closely linked to the World Government’s eradication of any signs of rebellion.
This is why there is a significant gap beneath Enies Lobby, or why certain islands might not be visible. The question arises as to why that has yet to be recognized at this point; however, it may directly relate to the reality of rising sea levels globally.
One aspect that the Straw Hats need to consider is when Pluton will be unleashed, and whether this powerful ancient weapon could also have the potential to cleanse entire nations. Pluton could potentially destroy the Red Line, and if that were to occur, it could undoubtedly lead to the rise of sea levels. The One Piece world will certainly face a reckoning, and how to prevent it is something no one can truly know.
