Will Emet follow who he presumed to be the next Joyboy on his next voyage, or will Egghead Island be his last standing? This answer can only be given by Eiichiro Oda, the creator of theOne Pieceseries, as the series dives towards its final arc.
Potential Alliance Of The Straw Hat Pirates
The Elbaf Giants
One of the most anticipated destinations for the Straw Hats isElbaf, the land of giants. The first time the giants were introduced was in Little Garden. The Straw Hat Pirates have established a positive relationship with several giants throughout their journey. The first notable interaction with Elbaf giants occurred in the Little Garden arc, where the Straw Hats befriendedDorry and Brogyand helped settle the longtime feud between the two giants. The mutual respect and friendship forged during this arc laid the foundation for a potential relationship with the giants, which came to fruition on Egghead Island.
On Egghead Island, the Elbaf giants came to the rescue of the Straw Hats and the reincarnation of a legend that existed in Elbaf history. The Elbaf giants believe in theSun God Nika, a powerful god that existed in the giants' lore. Hence, the Straw Hats alliance with the Elbaf giants will bring unparalleled strength, combat abilities, and vast knowledge about the past −Ancient Weapons andthe Void Century. The giants' long lifespan allows them to accumulate vast knowledge and experience, potentially holding key information about the world’s history. Elbaf’s knowledge aligns with the Straw Hats' ultimate goal of uncovering the world’s true history, making Elbaf a strategically important destination. Also, the Straw Hat captain will learn more about his power and the Sun God Nika.
Moreover, an alliance with the Elbaf giants would resonate deeply withthe One Piecenarrative. The series consistently explores themes of friendship, loyalty, and the fight against injustice. The giants have a strong sense of honor and commitment to their friends, and these elements fit intothe personalities of the Straw Hats.
The Revolutionary Army
The Revolutionary Army and the Straw Hat Pirates share a common enemy:the World Governmentand its oppressive structures. The Straw Hats' core principle of freedom resonates deeply with the Revolutionary Army’s mission to kick the oppressive system that allows injustice. Throughout their journey, the Straw Hats have consistently fought against corrupt regimes and freed countlessnations like Alabasta, Dressrosa, and Wano from subjugation. In this vein, the Straw Hats' innate desire to protect the innocent and fight for freedom aligns perfectly with the Revolutionary Army’s goals. This ideological synergy makes the two factions natural allies.
The Revolutionary Army has yet to make a decisive move in the series, and as the series gears towards the final arc, it won’t be long anymore. The personal connections betweenkey figures in the Revolutionary Armyand the Straw Hats instigate the potential for a future alliance. The most significant connection is between Luffy and Dragon, his father. While their relationship has yet to be explored, the shared bloodline suggests a profound bond that could be developed further. Also, the bond between Luffy andSabo, the Revolutionary Army’s chief of staff, would ease any potential alliance that is likely to happen in the future between the two factions. The Straw Hat captain also met Ivankov at Impel Down, which gives more credence that the Straw Hats and the Revolutionary Army might become allies post-Egghead. The dark forces that pull the strings in the World Government, like the Five Elders and Imu, are beginning to surface, and Luffy’s crew alone cannot overpower them. The fights on Egghead againstthe Five Elderswith their enigmatic powers are enough proof that an equally powerful force must unite to topple the World Government’s tyrannical rule.
