One Piece Elbaf Arc Sparks World-Shaking War Predictions

by

In the animated series “One Piece,” the Holy Knights have taken action, causing turmoil in the land of the Giants, Elbaf. Not long after the Straw Hats had set foot on this legendary land following their departure from Egghead, the sudden appearance of the Holy Knights places them back in the midst of conflict. Shamrock and Gunko are among the first to arrive and promptly attempt to enlist Loki into their ranks. However, Loki declines the offer and criticizes the Celestial Dragons publicly. Undeterred, Shamrock presses on with his scheme and orders the Knights to seize the young ones first. He departs once Sommers and Killingham arrive, entrusting them with the crucial mission of bringing Elbaf to its knees.

In a break after a week, Chapter 1146 of “One Piece” resumed, delving into Gunko’s clash with Colon and the Straw Hat Pirates. As the fight unfolds, Gunko discloses the grim repercussions of Vegapunk’s revelations during the Egghead Incident. During his global broadcast, Vegapunk forecasted that the world was at risk of imminent sinking. He also divulged scant details about Joyboy and the Void Century. Vegapunk believed it was just to warn the world of the pending peril, but the Gorosei and the Holy Knights hold a contrary view on this matter.

One Piece’s Gunko Confirms the Impending War Is a Result of Vegapunk’s Message

It seems quite evident with Chapter 1146 that the Holy Knights possess more knowledge about the genuine history of our world than we initially assumed. Gunko’s statements suggest she was already privy to the fact that the world was approaching its end. Yet, this was expected to occur before the general populace became aware of it. Vegapunk’s demise initiated a global broadcast during which he disclosed significant secrets regarding our world.

It’s not surprising that the Five Elders worked tirelessly to prevent the broadcast, as their perspectives contrast sharply with those of the scientist. The scientist advocates for transparency and believes the world should know the truth to avert future catastrophes. However, it seems that the Five Elders might hold the viewpoint that the world’s end is inevitable and should not be interfered with. Moreover, Gunko verifies that the countdown for war began following the revelation of the truth, implying that there is no way to halt the impending global conflict now.

They prefer having the Giants on their side due to its significant impact on the war’s result. Gunko’s speeches, however, are a critical part of the story’s climax. In fact, the impending war has been referenced earlier in the narrative. The Marineford War Arc serves as a turning point, leading us gradually towards the Final Saga. Now that we’ve reached the Final Saga, it seems like all the pieces are falling into place, revealing a grim future for everyone.

Oda Has Been Setting Up the Final War Since the Beginning

It’s evident that the author has had the ending of the story mapped out from the start, and he’s been skillfully building towards an impending war since the beginning. In chapter 576 of the manga, Whitebeard affirms the existence of One Piece, stating that after its discovery, the world will experience chaos. He also hints at a global conflict yet to come. This is the first time any character has referred to this upcoming war. If we look back on the Sabaody Archipelago Arc, encountering Rayleigh was a significant milestone leading towards the climax of the story.

In Chapter 507, Rayleigh makes it clear that he is aware of the One Piece, suggesting that his team discovered it prior to its intended discovery time. Rayleigh anticipates that when Luffy locates the legendary hoard, he will reach a different conclusion than the Roger Pirates did. As Vegapunk explained in his broadcast, the Great War, which has lasted for over 800 years, is the result of opposing philosophies.

In essence, it appears that the forthcoming conflict will ignite once Luffy locates the One Piece and gains comprehensive knowledge about this world. Throughout the post-time era, there have been subtle indications of this impending war. Post the Dressrosa Saga, the narrator alluded to the Straw Hat Grand Fleet’s significant role in the future battle. Moreover, during the Reverie Arc, world leaders discussed global disputes, hinting that Oda is gradually nudging us toward the realization that the endgame is near; now it remains to see how everything falls into place.
