One Piece is Currently Unfolding in the Elbaf Arc, and Fans are Thrilled by the Deepening of the Storyline.
The Elbaf section of One Piece is continuously revealing significant information, and here, the fans are eagerly awaiting Oda to unveil more intriguing details through Franky, as he continues his journey via the Adam Tree with Ripley. Much like other chapters in the series, One Piece Chapter 1144 has provided fans with a glimpse into some major themes in the history of the world, and this time Oda has once again introduced the concept of the Iron Giant.
The Iron Giants and Their Significance in the Early World
The Iron Giant is not an overly distant concept for fans. The Egghead Arc has given everyone a clear view of a loyal Iron Giant and a brief look into its past. This particular robot, located on Egghead, was studied by Vegapunk. 200 years ago, this robot somehow managed to invade Mary Geoise, but ultimately it ran out of energy and ceased to function.
However, after its revival, the Iron Giant named Emet truly comes to life during the events of the story. Luffy’s resonating voice of liberation has helped it awaken once again, and it assists Luffy in confronting the celestial dragon. In the end, this robot played a crucial role in helping the Straw Hat Pirates escape Elbaf by unleashing the tremendous Haki of Joy Boy.
Fans also caught a glimpse of its past right before the conclusion of the Egghead arc. At this point in the story, Oda has introduced new connections that the Iron Giant Emet has with Joy Boy – Nika before his death, and how the two characters are closely intertwined.
One Piece Chapter 1144 also introduces another loyal Iron Giant or at least hints at remnants of this robot. On the Adam Tree, there is a scientific structure that resembles what could be created from the remains of another Iron Giant. Its appearance resembles a robot, and this immediately attracts the attention of the fans. Surely, we will see Franky exploring the prominent parts of this robot.
The Critical Importance of the Iron Giants in One Piece
It is clear that the Iron Giants are closely related to Nika in a very significant way. Fans know that Emet and Joy Boy share a deep bond, with Joy Boy always protecting Emet. At the same time, it has been made clear that Emet has attempted to raise Joy Boy to the throne but failed.
Meanwhile, the fans also know that there is another Iron Giant from 3000 years ago, which might have tried to do something that is similar to the Sun God Nika. Clearly, the Iron Giants play a vital role, and in Luffy’s case, this Iron Giant is none other than Franky.
Franky, along with Vegapunk, could very well enhance his own abilities significantly and perfect the Franky Shogun. With the hidden power of Ancient Energy and many other factors, Franky will become an essential force in the upcoming battles involving Luffy.
Moreover, fans know that Franky holds the key to Pluton, making him the only one capable of creating it from scratch. Franky will assist Luffy in the final battle related to the ancient weapons, alongside the Mother Flame. It is only a matter of time before Oda brings monumental moments for Franky in Elbaf, followed by the Final Saga.
