This is the moment 'One Piece' fans have been waiting for for 25 years, an emotional payoff that is now a reality

‘One Piece’ has returned with its 1132nd chapter after a two-week hiatus due to the author’s poor health, as confirmed by the Shonen Jump editorial staff in an official statement released in mid-November. The manga returns to Elbaph, a place first mentioned in December 1999 during the Little Garden arc and now, 25 years later, becoming a reality.

Elbaph has three different levels: Underworld, Sun World and Astral World. The Straw Hats access the second level, the Sun World, where they arrive in the village of Elbaph, an epic place that our protagonists have long dreamed of and that we readers have grown up with and wished to see one day. Pure emotion in the expression of characters like Usopp and Luffy, who have one of their dreams in front of them. A reward that has just begun for all of us.

A huge adventure awaits in ‘One Piece’

Elbaph has just begun and already shows hints of the huge adventure it will bring to the Mugiwara, with all kinds of situations and characters that aim to leave an important mark on a series that is almost three decades old. Moments like sailing on a rainbow are yet another example of how anything is possible in the universe created by Eiichiro Oda, reminding us for a moment of what it was like to reach the sky in Skypiea.

At the end of the chapter, Brag Men, the mysterious book by Louis Arnote that we first learned about in Little Garden, which is a compilation of adventures in the Grand Line that could be saved thanks to the brave scholars of Ohara and that the society of the world of “One Piece” ends up not taking seriously, but hides a whole reality. Now it comes to light again with a warning about Elbaph and the fact that those who visit it should not stay long in this land of giants. In the end, a mysterious silhouette and this terrible warning, what dangers await the Mugiwara?
