One Piece’s Egghead Island arc is currently in its most intense phase as the Egghead Incident, which Oda has been teasing for quite a while now, is finally underway. This also means that the arc is heading towards its end and as soon as this war wraps up, fans will see the Straw Hat Pirates leave Egghead Island and head to a completely new destination. The Straw Hats have been in Egghead for quite a long time.
The vast majority of the fans expected this arc to be much shorter than it turned out to be. Added to that is the fact that there is still more to go so fans should expect Egghead to continue for a couple of months, at the very least. However, Oda has already dropped hints about what the next arc is going to be from here onwards and that certainly has fans very excited.
The Current Events On Egghead
On Egghead Island, things look quite grim for the Straw Hat Pirates at the moment. As fans might know, they are currently facing a siege laid by the Navy. The island is currently surrounded by 100 ships of all sizes and these ships include 20 warships, which are incredibly difficult to fight against. On these 20 warships are nine Vice Admirals including Vice Admiral Doll and Vice Admiral Doberman. Above all, the operation is being led by Admiral Kizaru, one of the three strongest assets of the World Government. To make things even worse, Saint Jaygarcia Saturn, one of the Five Elders, is also present on one of the battleships and this only makes things much worse for the Straw Hat Pirates.
In the previous chapter, Kizaru was seen making his way into the island. He is currently on the Fabriophase Sentomaru in combat. Given that he has a light body, Kizaru can easily enter the labophase as well and that is certainly going to happen very soon. As soon as he made his move, Sentomaru ordered the Pacifista to start shooting and this means the Egghead War has now officially kicked off. Where the Straw Hats were planning a safe escape, they are now going to have to fight, given that Kizaru will simply enter the labophase before Vegapunk manages to crack the code. As soon as the fighting is done, however, the Straw Hat Pirates will be heading to a new island and the name has already been dropped in the previous chapter.
The Next Arc After Egghead Island
In One Piece chapter 1090, Vegapunk held a conversation with Nami and the two talked about the logpose acclimatizing to the island that they are currently on. By the looks of it, it is going to take longer for that to happen, however, they can still follow the other two routes that the pose offers. The one that is northeast of Egghead Island is the one that they end up choosing and according to Vegapunk, that place is Elbaf. Fans know that Elbaf holds tremendous significance in One Piece and is going to be the next major arc after Wano.
This arc is also the longest teased arc in One Piece, having been mentioned first in Little Garden, shortly after the Straw Hat Pirates entered the Grand Line. After decades of waiting, fans finally have Elbaf right in front of them, however, getting there means that the crew has to destroy what lies in front of them currently. The plan for the Straw Hat Pirates right now is to get to their ship safely and in the meanwhile, Vegapunk will try his best to crack the code to the Frontier Dome. As soon as that happens, everyone can get aboard the Sunny and Vegaforce will fly them over the island. As soon as they start leaving the climate zone of the island, Vegaforce will be ineffective and this is when Franky will go on to use Coup De Burst, and fly 1 km straight ahead, away from the Navy and the grasp of the powerful Admiral.
Fans should, however, know that plans almost never work in One Piece and it isn’t going to be as simple for them. This is especially true given that Kizaru is already on the island and he can easily make his way into the labophase. Furthermore, with the way Oda has teased the Egghead Incident, it simply cannot result in the Straw Hats escaping and avoiding a major confrontation with the Navy. A large-scale war is going to go down here, given that Oda has mentioned that the result of this event is going to be catastrophic and one worthy of shaking the world to its entire core. So, before the crew gets to Elbaf, it looks like they have a lot to deal with.
The Major Plot Points For Elbaf
Once the Straw Hat Pirates deal with the Navy and successfully manage to set course for Elbaf, there is a lot for the fans to expect from this arc. Fans have already seen a bit of Elbaf through Big Mom and, more recently, through Kid. When the Worst Generation elite decided to face Shanks in battle, Elbaf was revealed to the fans as the war land. Before that, it was made clear by Big Mom that Elbaf has the mightiest army in the world, and, for that reason, there is a lot to look forward to for the fans.
A country as powerful as Elbaf is certainly going to be filled with mysteries and, at the same time, strong allies as well as adversaries for Luffy and Straw Hat Pirates. Fans already know that this arc holds great significance for a select few characters in the Straw Hat Pirates. While Oda will most certainly throw focus on all of them, Usopp, Robin, and Luffy are going to be central to the event of Elbaf.
Usopp has been obsessed with the idea of Elbaf ever since the crew set foot on Little Garden. He has wanted to become a great warrior like the Giants that live there and, at the same time, become as courageous as them. He even once mentioned that he would like to die like a proud warrior of Elbaf and it is quite clear to see that he will be very important in this arc. When it comes to Robin, she will get to meet Saul once again. Fans only recently found out that Saul is alive and well and he’s currently living in Elbaf, where he’s originally from. Saul has also taken the entirety of the library of Ohara with him to Elbaf and this only means that there is a lot left to discover for the fans on this island. Perhaps, the last Road Poneglyph, which is connected to the Man with the Burn Scar, will also come into play in the Elbaf arc.
As for Luffy, he will take one more step closer to becoming the Pirate King in this arc as he will most likely be facing Shanks, who fans recently saw on this island. The country of Elbaf is under the protection of Red-Haired Shanks and this is most certainly going to be the place where he finally reunites with Luffy. The two will eventually engage in combat and it will be interesting to see how Oda handles this fight. Undoubtedly, this fight is going to be huge and possibly the biggest that the fans have seen so far in the story.
It is quite clear to see that there is a lot that this arc has to offer and even looking at the lore of Elbaf, which is deeply linked to the Norse mythology, fans have great things to look forward to. One Piece is in its Final Saga and every arc from here on out will be even better than the one before, especially given how excited Oda has been to finally draw the saga. Fans can only wait and hope that the Egghead Incident concludes soon so that the Straw Hat Pirates can finally move to the land of Giants, Elbaf.
