​@@Nagore6305no-one who has ever stepped on a Lego would think size would reduce the effectiveness as a caltrop. Duplo's are rounded, larger, and LESS PAINFUL, the size of a Lego is NOT the issue, it is the pointedness of the corners, unlike normal caltrops they also rarely deal damage to the skin layer, irritating the layers beneath the skin, the damage is psychological rather than damaging.

Absinthe is 100% over hyped, it doesn't really make you hallucinate at all (that's a myth that is very inaccurate) and it tastes like shit.

[@DexXavier]

Someone on twitter pointed out that the straw hats outfits all change through the chapter. Ussop loses his bag in a panel, Luffy says gear 4 while using gear 3, luffy’s straw hat is not visible like he isn’t wearing it. Also luffy goes from having a sword, to nothing, then lastly an axe, and in each instance there is a visual indication that something has changed. I think this is Nami’s hallucination. I don’t think the rest of the straw hats are real. Edit*: the “Giants” are also human size! When compared to the bees. Also just realized Zoro noticed something is off! In the last spread he stares down Luffy.

Others have pointed it out already but there are major inconsistencies in this chapter, people's outfits keep changing slightly and then sizing as well like the railing Nami can barely reach and then dwarfs it.

[@justawanderingoldman7699]

Wait... These animals seem to be treated as animal deity in Elbaf. They also can transform to be bigger and stronger (like the cat). I can imagine Chopper with his giant form being treated as a new animal deity when the giants see him.

[@poikooze3112]

Making a prediction that, at some point, there's going to a parallel between the Strawhats (maybe the monster trio, maybe not) and the Utgard-Loki story, where Utgard-Loki (not the same guy as normal Loki) used illusions to trick Thor, Loki, and Pjalfi into impossible contests... that they *nearly* win, with Loki nearly out-eating fire (give Luffy an eating contest!), Pjafli almost outrunning the win, and Thor nearly lifting Jormungander

[@pablobuquet2534]

Ooh

[@Orion_44]

That sounds very Monster trio, with Luffy eating, Sanji being as fast as he is, and then of course Zoro lifting the world serpent just to get a bigger pump.

[@pica2754]

I think so too

[@aquilschutte]

I thought it had to do with i think thor drinking the ocean. Not yormongandder. But im no expert

[@CowboyGun]

You did not mention where Thor is challenged to a drinking contest and the horn he was handed connected to the oceans of midgard and he ended up drinking so much it caused the tides. (...looking at you, zoro our resident alcoholic) or that Thor wrestled the embodyment of old age, and almost overcame her in victory before being defeated after his joints and muscles began to deteriorate. I am not sure where this would come into play in the one piece story, perhaps some insight into the drawbacks of luffy's abilities in the past and how he has nearly overcome them with his awakening?

[@henriquefurriel7779]

They are in a lego model of Elbaf, the "Yggrasil" is just a normal giant tree, the rabbit is just a normal giant rabbit (the goes for the bugs) and the "giants" are normal humans

Oda definitely kept the trend up cause there was a very suggestive and appreciated shot of Nami in this one

[@jessesutton7985]

I love that in the midst of everyone freaking out that Yggdrasil is going to burn, someone mentions how good it smells. Sanji woke up without even his own clothes, went off hungover into the woods and cooked up top level BBQ rabbit god. As soon as I finished the chapter I started spinning a tale of the Straw Hats out partying the giants and deciding not to wait to get to the island. Luffy wants more food, Zoro wants more booze, Sanji wants to see giant ladies, Usopp wants everything Elbaff. Nami argues, Robin points out they could have giant treasure, she immediately gets onboard. They're all trashed so things go south, they land totally passed out. They're found, given dry clothes, left to sleep it off. The trio wake up bright and early, discover they're in a fun new land, set off for breakfast, return in time to save Nami and Usopp.

A cat that changes into a lion, Luffy not wearing the straw hat and using Gear 3 when he shouted Gear 4, Sanji using his left leg to kick the cat even though he powered up his right leg and wanting to eat the bees even though he is afraid of bugs, people's belongings changing or disappearing constantly (such as Luffy having a sword and then an axe, Usopp's bag disappearing), and more.

[@NorrisVaughn]

i saw a great theory that showed that all of the straw hats would be sent out to the nine different realm of norse mythology. Luffy to Asgard because of his god connections, Zoro to helheim, Sanji to muspellheim for his fire powers. Usopp to jotunheim the land of the giants, Robin to vanaheim which is associated with wisdom, Nami to alfheim because of the location being close to the clouds, Jinbei and chopper to midgard the home of the humans because they aren't human, Brook to Niflheim because of his ice powers and Franky to Nidavellir the land of the dwarfs

[@jarosbodytko6462]

I wouldn’t accept anything else.

[@GoldenOwl_Game]

There’s a lot of weird, minor inconsistencies in the chapter. The weapon on Luffy’s back keeps shifting from sword to axe between panels, he shouts Gear Fourth when attacking with a Gear Third Elephant whip, the straw hat itself is missing, Sanji’s attack is missing flames, and Zoro is talking about directions and finding the ship. Definitely quite odd. Not sure if it’s hinting at something or just genuine mistakes

[@doubl2480]

I still can't believe we finally did it. We're on Elbaf. The characters might be hallucinating but we're not.

[@evog35viii]

Idk why but I have this funny feeling that the Foxy Pirates are somehow/probably/maybe/could be involved in this mess.

You know, the cat reminds me of some of the Norse myths, especially those involving Utgard-Loki. As the story goes, Thor and Loki and two other companions make it into Utgard-Loki and keep running into challenges that are hidden behind illusions. First, they think they found a cave but it turns out to be a giant glove. When they meet the giant Utgard-Loki, he gives them all sort of challenges: To drink from a horn, try to out eat one of the giants, out race another, wrestle one of their oldest giants, and to lift a cat. And then it turns out that the challenges were all rigged by Utgard-Loki: the horn was connected to the ocean and Thor drank enough to actually change the level of the sea, the giant that ate was fire incarnate, the racing giant turned out to be thought (if I remember the myth right), the old woman giant was actually death (which not even a god could defeat) and the giant cat turned out to be Midgard Serpent (which Utgard-Loki was scared was going to come up when Thor raised one of its paws off the ground). I am seeing this Lego Palace in a very similar situation if this is what's going on.

The OG 5 Strawhats in Elbaph. Oda's cooking something.

[@dinofeather]

Did anyone else notice that the giant bees were roughly the same size in the panel with the locals and the panel with Nami? I don't think we are in a village with giants or at least not giant giants.

5:26 the lego-lego nomi

[@dylanlawson7129]

I'd eat that fruit

[@cadenz7719]

Rolls up to a new island, not knowing how they got there. Starts killing and eating all the local fauna.

[@emilydonegan3208]

ALSO also, I think this is the most boisterous entrance we’ve had to a new island. Usually, *some* attempt is made to fit in, or at least not stir the pot too much too fast, but the monster trio are straight up causing disasters, leading the population into panic. This is finally true pirate emperor hours.

[@skeleytonz5319]

I think Nami might be in a dream conjured by Loki. First she calls out for zoro, sanji, luffy and even usopp and they all appear right away, the weapon on Luffys back constantly changes throughout the chapter, the cat randomly transforms into a lion. Luffy even calls gear third gear fourth. It would make sense for Loki to have a dream related devil fruit, he is the god of trickery and illusion in myths after all.

[@jaysylvester7973]

One thing I noticed in of the last few pages of the chapter is that the legos the city is made of is not made of plastic like actual legos but are made of stones that buildings are made of which is interesting to me

[@TheMattLuigi]

5:20 couldn’t it also be possible that this lego village is for little people who happen to live on Elbaf?

[@1TakoyakiStore]

Blackbeard in Chapter 1469: What the? Why isn't my darkness powers working on Luffy? Hey Straw Hat! Luffy: What? Blackbeard: You didn't by any chance eat a rabbit god recently? Luffy: As a matter of fact...

[@carvered7291]

Inurashi having a peg leg is unironically huge, you rarely see characters with that trade mark pirate thing in OP

[@layniebear1237]

yeah the Lego thing being Loki dicking about makes sense, and the squad eating a Diety of Elfbaff is one of those "Dory Brogy why werent you watching these tiny beings..."

[@JayeshPawar-er6sj]

My boy sanji got best drip in this arc out of monster trio

[@Wheres_your_planet]

I love the original 5 strawhats together to start off the ark. They were the most geeked about elbaf since little garden
