Lacking Elbaf's main antagonist

• The Elbaf arc has given fans the start of the adventure

• Luffy and the Straw Hats will soon run into the enemy

of Elbaf Ark a piece Started a while back, and it's safe to say that the adventure part of this arc has been absolutely top notch. In fact, Oda took his time exploring Elbaf, such that it could be the best stretch of adventure chapters in just one piece's post-timeskip. To many fans, this part of the arc was similar to the pre-timeskip of the series, which many fans claim they missed due to the lighter and more adventurous part thrown in by Oda.

The fact that fans felt the same energy at the beginning of the arc is proof that Oda definitely paid more attention when writing these chapters. But, while it's great that Elbaf has given fans interesting adventure chapters, what was missing from this arc until now was a clear and obvious danger. Many arcs in one piece are a clear-cut threat from the start. For example, when a piece As the Arbusta arc began, fans knew that Mr. 0 or Crocodile, the leader of the Baroque Works, was going to be an enemy from the get-go. Skypea initially introduced fans to Lord Enel as an enemy, and in the Water 7 arc, CP9 also made a very early introduction.

Likewise, post-timeskip, fans knew that the new Fishman Pirates were going to be problematic in the Fishman Island arc, and then, Caesar and his gang were established as the main villains in the Punk Hazard action. In Dressrosa's case, fans knew before the Straw Hats even set foot on the island that Doflamingo was the main enemy, and the same can be said for Kaido. Obviously, under a lot of pressure a piece Their opponents have been introduced very quickly, but, for some reason, Elbaf has been different. The Straw Hats have been exploring the island for a long time, but there is no obvious danger here.

So far, things seem to be smooth sailing for the crew, which means that, at this point in time, there is no tension here in the arc. But, if anyone is holding on to that, they would be wrong. It was inevitable that fans would get an antagonist for Elbaf sooner rather than later, and now, it looks like that antagonist has finally appeared.

Oda finally reveals Elbaf's villainy

Shanks' brother appeared in Elbaf

At the beginning of Elbaf, many fans predicted Loki to be the main villain. After all, Loki was known as the cursed prince of Elbaf and the shame of the country. He was also called the Sun God who could go on to destroy the world, and this was something that fans noticed. However, after getting the measure of Loki, and seeing him interact with Luffy, it became clear that this character was not written as an antagonist. Of course, Loki is still a very reckless person who can kill, but he's not the main antagonist of the arc, and he's certainly not a villain in the grand scheme of things.

This is where things started to get even more confusing as fans knew there had to be a big threat. a piece Chapter 1134 saw that this great threat was finally introduced to the fans, and it came to the end of the chapter.

On the final page of One Piece Chapter 1134, fans saw a large summoning circle on the second level of Elbaf, right on the second level of Elbaf Village. From the summoning circle, fans saw two characters appear. One of them is a shocker that fans first saw in One Piece Chapter 907. This character looks exactly like Shanks and is probably his twin brother. Another character also seems to have a very interesting design, but fans don't know much about him at this time. Apparently, these are the two main antagonists of the Elbaf arc, at least for now. They are invaders and they have some kind of business on the island. As for exactly what is going to happen, fans will have to wait and see.

The role of the two attackers in Elbaf

Attackers may bring warnings for demons

It is clear that Shanks' twin brother is now in Elbaf, along with another interesting person. It is best for fans to assume that they are members of the Knights of God and were sent there by Emu, or a member of the Five Elders. What their role is on the island remains to be seen. For one, fans can't expect these guys to fight the war on Elbaf alone. As strong as they are, they have absolutely no chance against an entire country with Yonko, which means their reason for being here is somewhat unique. Perhaps, they are there to warn Elbaf and prepare the ground for an imminent and devastating war that will follow.

This would make sense because it would essentially set a ticking time bomb on Elbaf, and give the Straw Hat Pirates time to prepare for what's to come. On the other hand, it's also possible that they'll just invade Elbaf's country, and destroy the village while the Straw Hat Pirates are away. It will also set up a very exciting confrontation between Luffy and these two men, one of whom appears to be Shanks, and fans will absolutely enjoy watching this fight.

Whichever way things go, fans know that Elbaf's big villain is now confirmed, and it's only a matter of time before they start to reveal their powers, and get fans even more excited.

A piece is available to read through Viz Media. Series fans can read the series officially and for free on the Shonen Jump and Manga Plus apps. The release date for the next chapter of One Piece, One Piece 1135 is set for January 5, 2024.
