[@Bruh89847]

When Ussop gets to Elbaf i think everyone in Elbaf will believe that he is the God Of Elbaf. PRAISE GOD USSOP

[@愛子-h7b]

Can you imagine Usopp the "Liar" Tricks and Loki the "Trickster"?🤣 that would be hilarious to witness.

[@kingdraco4813]

Loki is a shapeshifter and will join teh starwhat crew. He and Usopp will mirror eachother. Loki might be a small giant that aint a typical warrior who is honored in elbaf and have selfconfidence issues. Usopp will be his courage and he will be the Giant tower/Veihacle for the sniper king. Togheter the will be a duo to be reconned with.

[@a.kzestos2085]

My theory for Elbaf:- 1. When we first went to Skypia, Gan Fall told us that there were two ways to enter Skypia. One was the proper way (named as 'Summit of the High West' by Gan Fall - I have no clue what that means) and the other was the improper way (knock up stream). Gan Fall adds that coming through the proper way, you have to pass 1 or 2 more sky Islands (which might be Asgard here). He says that through the improper way, either all die or all survive but through the proper way, "If you had brought 100 people, it would be a gamble as to how many would survive". We still haven't seen the proper way and Elbaf seems to be the last major arc before arcs like Laugh Tale, Lodestar, etc. So maybe we can go to Skypia through Elbaf... 2. Nine supernovas were introduced in Sabaody and we have been seeing them in each arc one by one. Before Egghead, Bonney and Urogue were left and now as we have seen Bonney on Egghead, it is safe to assume that Urogue will be appearing on Elbaf. And what is Urogue..? - a Skypian. Hence more proof that we will be seeing somewhat of a Skypia 2.0 on Elbaf. 3. In Norse Mythology, there is a giant tree, called Yggdrasil which leads to an island in the sky(Asgard). In Whole Cake Island, while seeing Big Mom's backstory, we saw that there was a giant Adam tree in the centre of Elbaf. Noting that we didn't see it's top, it is possible to theorize that it leads to the Sky Islands paralleling Norse. 4. In Dressrosa when Luffy reunited with Bellamy, Bellamy told Luffy that after being defeated by him, he went to see the sky islands for himself. The immediate next question Luffy asked was, "You didn't do anything to them, did you" and Bellamy replied, "Maybe, maybe not". That was a bit strange to me as it felt like the story was implying that something did happen to them and Luffy might go back to check on on them. But that plot point was just forgotten as it was never addressed after that. It is a possibility that we are gonna go back to Skypia and then understand what Bellamy was talking about there... It's also worth noting that it's highly possible that Bellamy made use of the High West Route given that everyone in his crew except him died... 5. You all know how Elbaf is supposed to be the arc for Usopp, right. I think that the characters Usopp and Noland fit each other too perfectly not to be put here:- (i) They both are related to botany (Noland was a botanist while Usopp uses all plant based attacks). (ii) They both are 'liars'. (iii) Noland actually had great adventures and told it's stories but nobody believed him while Usopp says the same exact things and he is believed by everyone and it even comes true after he says it. (iv) Noland did great things but got absolutely zero glory while Usopp does a fraction of the work and gets deemed as a God. (v) Usopp even lied that he is related to Noland which basically proves that it is the truth because Usopp's every lie comes out to be true. I think that these parallels in character are really interesting and shows how things are related and also that stuff coming back isn't that hard. 6. As we know, Uranus in Greek mythology is the personification of heaven or *Sky*. So Uranus might be on the Sky. Seeing this from a different perspective, we were introduced to Pluton in Arabasta (a desert) which is polar opposite to where it was found, i.e. under a lake in Wano. We came to know about Poseidon in Skypia (in the sky) and found it in Fishman Island (beneath the ground). There is a pattern here; the Island where we were given a clue about the ancient weapon is inverse of the place where we found it. We were introduced to Uranus on Fishman Island, so it is logical to understand why Uranus can be on the Sky Islands. There are only 3 islands in one piece which get a long term buildup- (i) Fishman Island (ii) Wano (ii) Elbaf We found Poseidon in Fishman Island, Pluton in Wano, so we are definitely about to get Uranus in Elbaf. Connecting the dots, we will be exploring some Sky Islands in Elbaf. There are many different ways to prove this particular point given by different people, so you can check them out too. 7. In the cover story of manga chapters, we learned that Enel after being defeated by Luffy went to the moon and conquered it. From the covers we found out that sky life first originated on the moon and then came to Earth and also that that Kingdom had crazy technology. I don't think that Oda is the type of writer to introduce this big of a plot and just forget about it. It has to come to play in future arcs and as I had mentioned, Elbaf is just perfect for that. 8. There is a quote in Story telling: "If you have a rifle hanging on the wall in the first act, it should fire in the last act". And Oda is a master in applying the essence of this quote into the story. I don't know about others but Skypia to me felt a bit hollow. It didn't actually take part in the actual story and always felt like it was there for no reason but as I watched more of One Piece, I realised there is always a reason for something to happen in this masterpiece. So I am sure that the plot of Skypia WILL be returning. Hence we can conclude that on Elbaf, we can possibly see Mad Monk Urogue in action, see Uranus, Enel's return!? and learn more about the Sun God Nika.

[@OYKOT..]

The Adam tree is so tall that it is possible that by using that tree you can go on skypia island properly , but I am also thinking about the ancient weapon Uranus which is believed to be a sky type weapon, i personally believe that Uranus is located in skypia because skypia is island which is made up of clouds and it is the perfect place for a living thing who controls rain or may be something related to sky . After the alabasta arc oda introduced us to the sky island arc and it is not a mere coincidence Vivi is the key to Uranus.

[@vianabdullah2837]

I'm betting here that Asgard is a sky island at the top of the Adam Tree.

[@BlackShadow-nm5bw]

​​@@OYKOT.. By your reply I realised that Poseidon is Shirahoshi which is under water,Pluton is under wano which is the real land of wano and earth surface I said this because Wano was build upwards after something happened there and Uranus is related to sky Like you see one is under water,one is on the ground and the other is in sky 🤔

The final war has already started IMO. We have Imu blowing up island and preparing a purge, the revolutionary besieging and starving Mariejois, BB making move right left and center, cross guild putting bounty on marines, Shanks is finally on the move and Luffy himself is facing off a complete marine siege involving a admiral and one of the five elder. It's complete chaos and everybody is going for their end goal.

[@motherplayer]

Don't forget the Holy Knights have been called forth, which Dragon says is where the REAL battle will begin against the WG. One Piece has been really great in how we were away from the main crew for so long and yet, what was put in it's place never felt like it was wasting time or less interesting.

[@ServantofAnubis007]

Agreed. Warfare is often faught in the shadows like Dragon and CP0. It's like the Marines broadcasting Marineford to the World.

[@feIon]

i genuinely have no idea how elbaf could possibly be an even semi chill arc when imu is about to be unveiled to the whole world along with their plans of the great cleansing. it isnt even just a war imo, its gonna be global chaos and possibly ongoing global genocide until someone wipes out all of the gorosei and imu

[@beans726]

I really hope theres like a thors hammer kind of thing that would play on usopps infamous 100 ton hammer and that usopp would be able to lift it

[@loonzoldick]

I was thinking about this, Nami has her final weapon (tho maybe Vega could enhance hers and Usopp weapons too) so Usopp is the only one missing an upgrade since most of the crew already got one during Wano, so Mjolnir being a thing in Elbaf and like nobody can use it and Usopp proves his worthiness and ends up with a electric powered slingshot, I don't think he would the thunder from it to attack but to power his slingshots

​@@loonzoldickIf Oda goes the Marvel-esque route, the Mjolnir would be a *projectile* that Usopp shoots out of his slingshot.

[@vianabdullah2837]

If Skypeia specialised in observation and Wano specialised in armament, then Elbaf might be the country that knows most about conqueror's haki. They are a race of warriors after all. Training with the giants could be an explanation on why Shanks' haki is so powerful. Maybe that will parallel another red haired pirate in the current story. Since Kid and Law are in desperate need of haki buffs after their crushing defeats. Also, defeating Big Mom again wouldn't be redundant here because she was never overpowered the first time around. She was just pushed off the island and had a nuke explode in her face.

[@Smkymcpott85]

There is a story in Norse mythology where Loki steals the golden apples that keep the gods young and immortal. This could play into why loki can't leave the island.

[@swaggerb0y69]

If Elbaf will parallel Amazon Lily in its role to the overall story, wouldnt it also make sense this is where Luffy finds out Garp has been captured and instead of it setting up for the final war, it sets up the battle with Blackbeard.

[@BillyBob-bm2rl]

that would be perfect

[@akapilka]

Blackbeard goes before Imu, not after.

[@garlicfan23]

Also I feel like it's a set up to losing someone really close to him. I don't think garp will die but what if elbaf is the paramount war and shanks gets killed. Parallel Aces death.

I think what Usopp despised about wano's culture was the focus on death not the pride part, but honor in death in what they believe, I think Usopp admires the pride in fighting until the last minute, while the samurais were content with finishing the raid they were almost giving up on surviving. I think that was what he was criticizing

Essentially throwing your life away vs dying fighting for what you believe in. Like I don't see Usopp or the Giants believing in seppuku, but Wano samurai definitely might.

[@hobbyhorse5848]

Here’s my theory on Big Mom and how she’ll fit into the arc because you brought up many good points. She was given the “God of Destruction” title which reminds me of Surtr, the Norse jotunn of pure destruction associated with fire like Big Mom’s Prometheus. HOWEVER I believe she’ll come back with a lava/explosive Homie that will combine with Napoleon to mimic the flaming sword of Surtr. I believe this because Surtr is the Jotunn of VOLCANIC ERUPTIONS. The name Surtr even means “burnt black” akin to Big mom burned by a volcano. ALSO relating to the final war or as you say the initiation of the final war. The final battle site of Ragnarok will be the island of Oskopnir which will be engulfed in the flames of Surtr. I also believe that Luffy will defeat Big Mom and, possibly as future set up for a fight with Akainu, devise a way to battle or deal with magma. Big Mom will essentially be the prelude to two of Luffy’s major battles; Akainu via the magma/lava, and Black beard in the sense that she wields her devil fruit more than her Haki.

[@xaldrexane]

See me personally I feel like big mom gives off fenrir vibes always insane with hunger and prone to fits of violence even when "tamed" hungr eating constantly growing larger whenever she eats and more so after a rampage (her own biology is the cause not her fruit) I think they might fuse our two ideas somehow

[@Deepakpanchal0]

Idk man I'm tired of seeing her

[@exiusz637]

@@Deepakpanchal0 Yeah I agree with you. I think she’s gotten enough screen time as a big threat. I’d rather they give other characters the spotlight then bring her back AGAIN. Honestly, if she does come back I don’t think she should be shown as equal or a challenge to Luffy. He already beat Kaido, if they run into each other again he should be way stronger than when he fought Kaido. If she comes back she’ll either somehow be working together with Luffy like Crocodile did in Marineford or she’ll get dealt with easily by the strawhats to show how much stronger they are.

[@kareymogg]

Okay as much as I didn't think there was any way Big Mom would come up again, the way about connecting the magma for a confrontation with Akainu is really cool. I wouldn't be mad if she came back and this was the case.

It’s definitely a toss up! The thing for me is that Blackbeard is also making moves and shanks has been chasing him. I can see both of them being involved in Elbaf Arc, but not on the actual island of Elbaf (kind of like how they are involved in Egghead Arc but not at Egghead - yet at least)

I’ve always said I don't think Luffy and the Straw Hats will be "soundly defeated."

But I do think Elbaf will be all about Usopp until they learn that info. Uranus is the god of the sky and Elbaf is inspired by Vikings and Norse mythology, I can 100% see a plot point where there is an item or a person named Thor who is then revealed to be Uranus because Thor is the Norse God of the sky and comparative mythology is a thing.

[@danielbishop3806]

It's winning season for the Yonko. I don't think there is anyway Luffy loses or even retreats right now. Kid and Law lost, they aren't Yonko. Shanks and Blackbeard are. Luffy winning against Kizaru and the rest of the marines would show that he is on the same playing field as them.

It gets better if you use Morj's theory about the ancient kingdom residing under the sea. The roots of the world tree reside in helheim in norse mythology, and the roots of many of the large trees we see in one piece reach to the sea floor. Not to mention Zunesha is being punished for crimes during the void century, stomping all over the ocean floor. I think its entirely possible we will see the reveal of Uranus, we have to get some kind of ancient history. And I think the giant's palace will be at the top of the tree. Or something will be up there. There has to be some allegory for asgard and helheim, be it skypeia and giants are angry with skypeians or something, but there needs to be something up there.

One element that could have constituted a huge boost in the story progression is the potential connection between the Sky Islands and Elbaf. When the Straw hats reach Skypea, Gan Forr tells them they were crazy for using the ascendent current instead of the "Safe western path". There are theories that this "Safe western path" is the giant tree we see on Elbaf. After Skypea ends, they could have returned to the blue sea via this tree and end up in Elbaf instead of jumping and ending at Long Ring Long Land island. They could have gone over the Red Line instead of beneath it

[@welshlout3400]

I like the concept of the giants of Elbaf being an ultimately well-intentioned, wise and noble people, but their culture has become stagnant with superstition and half-remembered truths.

[@Bask3tChase]

I’ve always thought mother caramel possessed Big Mom by using an awakened form of their fruit. It’s why the amnesia didn’t bother me. Seemed kinda obvious.

[@LorelaiLore]

Here is a Vivi Uranus theory. It's almost cannon that imu would have been in control of the Op-Op Fruit 800 years ago. What is another surgery that the fruit can do? The personality switching surgery. Doflamingo describes this surgery along with the perennial youth as being what makes the fruit so useful as it will let you control the world with Marijoa's secret treasure I think that Nefeltari Lili was uranus 800 years ago and Nerona Imu had the old Op Op user switch their bodies so Imu could control uranus. This is why Vivi is a problem, Uranus has been reborn and this threatens the reign of Imu.

[@hotungwan5789]

Great video, I think this will be the closest theory of how Elbaf will went down. Everything feels very nicely tied up. Also Usopp will discover his conquerer's haki there.

[@xdragoonzero0]

Good to see more people bring up Usopp getting Conqueror's haki.

[@rupertgordonii6623]

Seeing Loki's introduction recently, you might be right

[@danielbroome5690]

I think how Loki is portrayed is going to depend entirely on how in-depth Oda knows Norse mythology. Loki has some pretty WEIRD depictions the further back you peel back the Christian re-write of his character into a devil-ish figure (Like weirdly messianic). Loki might have been a LOT more important in Norse mythology than we think of today. (Not to mention the fact that he literally kicks off Ragnarok by getting someone killed through a prank). There's also the snake symbolism again which recurs in one-piece that's also tied into Loki's story.

[@reigoj8228]

Symbols of loki: Serpent. Horse. Wolf. Knot. Web/Net. Tangle. All this is lokis symbolism. Serpent the liar. Stallion of the giants. Wolf god of tactics. Mind like a knot, impossible to untangle. Which also brings the tangle into it. And web of lies / net of tricks.

Honestly ussop has already becoame a brave Warrior of the sea based on what he did on Dressrosa, he pushed past his insecurities because he knew he was being counted on and bravely faced Sugar knowing that he could possibly be forgotten forever (or at least until Sugar gets knocked out/dies).

[@dootrevenant7203]

He did but he doesn't see himself like that , especially in Wano. The development that we expect for him in Elbaf is for HIM to understand that he is a brave warrior of the sea , not for others. He already became a brave warrior of the sea but he still thinks himself as a coward and acts like one.

I would be cool if Kid was actually a Vegapunk all along, but despite that it would make sense for his story… which so far looks really bad/sad in the end. It would also make sense that Luffy might need/want some training time, and Kid would be perfect. Since I also believe Kaido and Big Mom are still alive, it would also make sense if they were part of the "senseis" list!

6:31 in the nordic mythos there is is a drogon at the bottom and called Níðhǫggr (nidhogg) that was in hel at Náströnd the corpse shore and the corpse shore is where people with the worst crimes go to according to norse mythos and nidhogg appears in the story with ratatoskr and the wise eagle and the wise eagle lives at the very top and the eagle and nidhogg hate eachother becuse of ratatoskr when rata isnt delivering messages he would go up and the the tree telling lies to nidhogg and the wise eagle making up insults that the eagle/nidhoog "told" and trying to make them fight when nidhogg had enough he vowed to killed the eagle and he was so angry he shook the tree so hard he all the nine worlds trembled and the shake of the tree and the freeing of nidhogg are 2 of many signs of ragnarok

Great video, Elbaf will be a big arc as its gonna check off alot of bingo cards its gonna 1.have law,kidd and luffy reunite on elbaf 2.the burn scar man there and he saves law and bepo and possibly kidd too 3.Have Uranus lore and house Uranus there 4. Have a host of antagonist like Loki,Big Mom(both as chaotic neutral foes), Blackbeard and Saturn(Kronos has a connection to Uranus and the Titans in mythology) Ragnarok in a sense 5.the burn scar man with the final poneglpyh is on Elbaf 6.Vivi reuniting with the crew 7. Luffy vs Blackbeard actually happens 8. MIght have Urouge show up 9.kidd gets character development and either becomes vegapunk's assistant or a be weapons merchant for the giants or ussop 10. If the sunny gets damaged on egghead i can see franky and vegapunk using whats left of a fallen adam tree to fuse franky to the sunny just like how the marines had frankys post wano bounty poster 11. Ussop will be the baldur of Elbaf which may forshadow him dying EoS but not on elbaf

[@titowalcott3947]

We need our big mom at full power and to awaken her devil fruit and be the biggest threat to all the yonko

[@daleatsoverton9542]

that was the CLEANEST promo transition i’ve ever seen

[@unnamedshadow1866]

I think Big Mom's awakening has the potential of making her Immortal. We know the Souls she steals are tied to Age. I feel she's already plenty of powerful. So her Awakening should be relatively simple. She uses her Lifespan to Upgrade Herself. But that makes it an incredibly inconvenient Devil Fruit. Using it to the full potential will kill you? Nah. The Awakening of her Devil Fruit allows her to consume the Souls of others, making her reverse her own Soul Aging. We know Big Mom was a powerhouse in her Prime. So much that Roger had to sneak into Whole Cake Island to get a copy of her Poneglyph. As such her awakening is simple. She uses her ability to de-age herself. Meaning Prime Big Mom is back. Also with her being on her own, probably having lost her homies except for Napoleon. This means she will be forced to use Haki once again. Its kinda like Big Mom accepting the fact that she can't rely on her Devil Fruit alone and her kids to do everything. She has forgotten that.

Kaido and big mom in final war oda is keeping them for the perfect moment

[@toad6284]

Prediction: Big Mom returns to the story to full fill the same roll Crocodile did in the Marine ford War arc. First Major enemy after entering a new section of the Grand line, No matter how unlikely they'll share a common goal with the Strawhats and work together to that end but will always be an enemy at the end of the day just because of how terrible they are as a person.

[@D.LaJoiBoi]

Assuming Elbaf takes heavy inspiration from Norse mythology, I can see the main conflict being to families/factions fighting over the throne. It would be like how the Aesir and Vanir gods were always fighting. If Loki is unable or unwilling to take the throne it would make sense for there to be a conflict over it.

[@Conimon]

Do you think that big mom representing Greek mythology and Shanks representing Norse mythology has anything to do with their interactions with Elbaf 🤔

Loki has to be in his teenage years, in giant years that is

He's 63, and they average a 300 year lifespan, so he is about 21 years old in Giant years (you just divide the age by 3)

Four way Yonko war at Elbaf. Strawhats go Laugh Tale alone. Final war with WG after. Banking on this being the way it goes down.

[@DaksSake]

I think what could happen is Shanks v BB off the shores of Elbaf (like shanks is protecting it), and cross guild Vs Strawhats on elbaf. I think that could actually be how the Adam tree falls. I didn’t think about it until Randy’s math piece video but I like the odds of it

With sanji andzoro at two separate occasions, it was hinted at or made reference to one of the straw hats leaving I hope thatusop does leave the Strawhat crew, and stays at elbaf to become a general or the king, or their God, or something he would still show up for the final war, but he would be bringing an armada of Giants with him, and I think it makes sense for Aesop to stay behind

I think so that if posiden is a living thing pluton is a ship then Uranus is a weapon like hammer and has the power of lightning just like Thor hammer because in Norse mythology Loki is brother of Thor and luffy will lift Uranus and use the lightning powers of Uranus which I think oda forshadowed in luffy vs kaido luffy grabbing lightning And I think mother flame is an replica of uranus And i think loki will join luffys crew

[@DaksSake]

I like some of that a lot actually (not the very last part tho lol). Pretty sure all ancient weapons are living things (check my pluton is a mole videos), but i think Uranus' lightning strikes would be the equivalent to Thor's Hammer (enel used an El Thor attack) and could create Mother Flame like attacks. It's a hammer so its like playing "whack a mole" too lol, trying to get the underground pluton/mole.

[@Aatlar]

I think Imu destroying Elbaf would cause both Shanks and Luffy to head to lodestar, where BB is waiting. The two will team up to beat blackbeard, and Imu, the gorosei, and the marines, will be waiting at laugh tale. idk what happens next.
