One piece is finally heating up as the series transitions into the long-awaited Elbaf arc, setting the stage for a highly anticipated confrontation between two powerful groups. The arc seems promising so far, but the battle might be one of the highlights, given how long it’s been in the making.
In chapter #1126 of One pieceThe Straw Hats are on their way to Elbaf, but with unexpected developments. Meanwhile, Blackbeard was speaking to Lafitte, who informed him of the assault on the Red Port and Mariejois, making a blockade on food supplies and starving the Celestial Dragons. As the guardians of the celestial dragons, The God’s Knights will undoubtedly jump into action and fight the revolutionaries who starve their masters. With the series now in the end game, it is high time that a clash that has been teased for so long finally happens.
Dragon will finally be seen in action
One of the most mysterious characters is ready to go all out
There are a lot of unknowns, such as where the battle will take place or even how they will face off, but the probability of it happening is very high. Dragon is the leader of the revolutionaries and Luffy’s father, but not much is known about the character, with fans especially wondering about his powers since he appeared to save Luffy in Log Town. Sabo, the revolutionaries’ chief of staff, also plays an important role in the story, and the commanders and Ivankov are all powerful figures in their own right.
On the other side, the Celestial Dragons can count on Figarland Garling, leader of the God’s Knights. But, since Figureland was promoted to one of the 5 eldersWhether he still commands the god and someone else has accepted the position is still unknown. However, about the God’s knights is almost nothing, such as their members, abilities, hierarchies, and when they were formed. All that is known about them is that they were involved in the God Valley incident, with a young Figerland and two unnamed God Knights.
The revolutionaries are the first who can really harm the Celestial Dragons
The blockade was a smart strategy but a confrontation was inevitable
Both factions are basically still an unknown in the series. Although this allows the results of the fight to be much less predictable and maintain an air of mystery, it also does not leave much room to develop God’s knights and make them compelling enemies to the revolutionaries. Moreover, the possibility that Dragon and Sabo can face completely new characters means that their stories may not cross with Luffy’s, making their long-awaited reunion less likely.
Since then One pieceThe last saga began, it was almost impossible to predict what was going to happen, but the standoff between the revolutionaries and God’s knights could be one of the guaranteed events to come. It seems that Elbaf will be yet another arc that will have interesting developments outside the island as well.
