One Piece Creator Reveals That Monkey D. Luffy Might Have an Unexpected Ally

As a seasoned One Piece gamer with over a decade of sailing the Grand Line, I must say, the latest revelation about Kizaru has left me utterly astounded! The notion that the ruthless Navy Admiral might have lent a helping hand to our beloved Straw Hat Pirates during their struggle against the Five Elders on Future Island is nothing short of mind-boggling.


In the manga of “One Piece,” the Future Island Arc may have concluded, yet there are significant events and battles yet to unfold in Dr. Vegapunk’s homeland for the anime adaptation. With the World Government eager to suppress the scientist, Luffy and his team have gained valuable insights due to this knowledgeable character. Throughout this storyline, the Straw Hats have acquired a number of allies to aid them against the military and the Five Elders. However, creator Eiichiro Oda hinted that during the arc, Luffy received assistance from an unlikely ally, which could potentially transform a major adversary into an even stronger friend if this proves true.

Heed this: If you’re not fully caught up with the One Piece manga, beware! We’ll delve into significant spoiler territory for those who only follow the anime series. On Future Island, even Luffy’s Gear Fifth wasn’t powerful enough to vanquish one of the World Government’s top leaders. Monkey D. Luffy‘s ultimate form has been instrumental in defeating characters like Kaido, Rob Lucci, and Kizaru, but there’s a significant catch to this form. Luffy can exhaust his energy very quickly in this exaggerated form. However, in the 1103rd chapter of One Piece’s manga, the Straw Hat Captain received an unforeseen aid from an enigmatic figure. In a recent interview, Eiichiro Oda subtly disclosed the identity of this figure.

Kizaru, The Next Straw Hat Pirate?

During a recent SBS entry, the long-running question and answer session wherein Eiichiro Oda takes fan questions, the mangaka all but confirmed that Kizaru gave Luffy a helping hand, “In Chapter 1103, Luffy starts eating a bunch of food but who answered his plea after he screamed out ‘foooood’ Close to him were Sanji and Franky, could it have been one of them? Though the likes of Kizaru and Sentomaru were also there….No one noticed it happening. Meaning, for no one to have spotted it, it must’ve been carried out at the speed of light. Hmm… I sure don’t know who that could be. Speed of light…”

For those unfamiliar, Kizaru consumed the Pika Pika no Mi, a Devil Fruit, which grants him the ability to transform into light at will and act as a ‘light human.’ This transformation also enables him to travel at the speed of light. Oda’s subtle hint suggests that Kizaru, with his ambiguous notion of justice, could potentially side with the Straw Hat Pirates in their ongoing journey.

Kizaru’s Turn In The Anime

I can hardly contain my excitement as I eagerly anticipate the arrival of Chapter 1103’s events in the anime series. Earlier this fall, One Piece announced a temporary hiatus from the Egghead Island Arc to give viewers a polished re-run of the Fishman Island Arc instead. Fortunately, it seems that we will be reunited with the final saga come April next year, allowing the animation team ample time to recharge and refresh their skills. This pause also provides an opportunity for the manga to churn out more chapters, creating a richer tapestry of events for the anime to adapt. To top it all off, there are numerous other projects in the works within the One Piece universe that promise to be exciting additions for fans like me!
