The most recent chapter of One Piece shifts the story firmly into crisis mode as events across Elbaf unfold simultaneously, culminating in a public declaration of resistance against the World Government. Rather than focusing on a single battle, the chapter documents a series of coordinated emergencies that place the island nation on the brink of war.
Multiple Emergencies Across Elbaf
The chapter opens with Hajrudin and allied giants ascending toward the Sun World via a massive elevator, responding to reports of unrest already spreading across the island. Upon arrival, they find signs of damage and injured warriors, confirming that Elbaf has already been infiltrated.
Several giants are revealed to be under the influence of Domi Reversi, a mind-altering effect that has stripped them of free will. These giants are not rampaging at random but are instead moving with clear intent toward Elder Jarul, Elbaf’s symbolic leader. Their controlled behavior suggests outside direction rather than chaos.
Elsewhere, another crisis develops involving Elbaf’s children. Groups led by Ripley and Oimo race toward the island’s port after learning that children are being forcibly transported off the island. During this effort, the giant Road discovers that his younger brother Bjorn is among the captives. Road immediately separates from the main group, joining Gerd and Goldberg in an urgent rescue attempt.
Straw Hats Restrained as Fires Spread
Several members of the Straw Hat crew—Nami, Robin, Jinbe, Usopp, and Chopper—are shown restrained by arrow-based bindings inflicted earlier by the Holy Knight Gunko. These restraints immobilize them without rendering them unconscious, leaving them trapped near two critical locations: Elbaf’s school and the Owl Library.
Both structures are shown engulfed in flames. The visual focus on these locations emphasizes the scale of the attack, with education, history, and civilian safety all placed at risk. Brook is notably absent from this scene, his whereabouts unexplained by the chapter.
Jarul Reveals the Truth to Elbaf
The central moment of the chapter comes when Elder Jarul addresses all of Elbaf via Den Den Mushi broadcast. He reveals long-hidden information regarding the death of King Harald, an event that has shaped Elbaf politics for over a decade.
Jarul confirms that Prince Loki did not kill his father, dispelling a belief held for fourteen years. According to Jarul, Harald was murdered after refusing to submit Elbaf to the World Government. Jarul admits he kept this truth secret at Harald’s request, in order to prevent the island from descending into vengeance-driven conflict.
Jarul then identifies three active threats currently operating on Elbaf—Gunko, Sommers, and Killingham—linking them directly to the abductions, fires, and mind-controlled giants.
Elbaf Takes a Stand
Following this revelation, Jarul announces that Elbaf will no longer remain neutral. He states clearly that the giants will not submit to outside rule, even if refusal leads to open war. Giants across the island are shown responding in silence, raising weapons and preparing for conflict rather than celebrating.
This moment marks Elbaf’s formal decision to oppose the World Government rather than endure quiet manipulation.
A Cliffhanger at the Village Gates
The chapter concludes with the arrival of Dorry and Brogy, both under the effects of Domi Reversi, advancing toward Jarul. Their expressions remain blank, reinforcing the sense that they are being used as weapons rather than acting by choice.
Zoro arrives alongside Hajrudin and Stansen moments later. Surveying the situation, Zoro states only that he has a plan. The chapter ends before any confrontation begins, leaving the outcome unresolved.
Current Status
By the final page, Elbaf is facing coordinated internal sabotage, civilian endangerment, and the imminent clash of its strongest warriors. No major battle is shown, but the chapter firmly establishes the island as an active front in the growing global conflict.
Further developments are expected in the next installment as Elbaf’s declaration brings it into direct opposition with the World Government.
