Things are quite chaotic a piece Now, but there are some elements about Elbaf that Oda already included in his story, and some other catastrophic events that he foreshadowed. obviously, a piece With its final saga on the way to greatness, fans can see a cataclysmic event taking place in Elbaf, which is probably going to center around the Yggdrasil tree and of course, the event of Ragnarok.

The giant tree of Yggdrasil in Elbaf is an important element

• Yggdrasil has already been pierced in Elbaf
• Yggdrasil is the key to life in Elbaf

In the land of Elbaf, there exists a great tree known as Yggdrasil. Fans haven't actually seen Yggdrasil's tree, but in flashbacks where fans saw Big Mom a long time ago in the full Cake Island arc, the incredible tree was clearly present. Since then, the Yggdrasil tree has been seen in silhouette on several occasions, and while the tree has never actually appeared in the story, fans know it exists. The Yggdrasil tree was also located in the fake Lego city that the Sun God built aboard his ship. Fans will definitely also see the Yggdrasil tree in the main Elbaf, and this tree is going to be very important.

Yggdrasil is burning … we must report to the Sun God!

Interestingly, fans who are aware of the importance of the Yggdrasil tree in Norse mythology also know that this tree harbors many worlds such as Niflheim and Midgard, among others. This tree is essentially what sustains life, and in the land of Elbaf this tree is going to have something similar in importance. In the fake version of the city of Elbaf that was recently seen in One Piece, fans saw a smaller version of the Yggdrasil tree. The people who lived there were ordinary people, and they believed that Yggdrasil was a sacred tree. According to them, if the Yggdrasil tree burns, the world will end. It was very interesting and could potentially serve as a foreshadowing for what's to come.

Oda had no reason to introduce the fake Yggdrasil, and at the same time, the destruction of this tree indicates the fact that the world will end. This is clearly what Oda is alluding to what will happen down the line in Elbaf's arc, and this giant tree, which will be confirmed to harbor all life in this land, will go up in flames. Luffy and the others will have to do everything they can to protect the Yggdrasil tree, and as they do so, they will also save the country from total destruction.

The destruction of Yggdrasil and the end of the world

The destruction of Yggdrasil will kickstart Ragnarok – the end of the world

Of course, fans may wonder how the Yggdrasil tree would even be destroyed in the first place and why it would lead to the end of the world. The answer to this question is quite simple. First, fans will naturally look to the threat from within the land of Elbaf as they know it. Of course, there are characters like Loki who, in mythology, aren't really good guys. However, there is nothing to indicate that Loki is a bad person a pieceAt least for now. Fans do not know if there are any antagonistic characters within Elbaf's land, and, at the same time, it is also clear in the story that Elbaf is protected by one of the strongest characters of all time, Shanks.

Apparently, with such a monstrously powerful being protecting the land, no giant or any inhabitant of Elbaf would seek to harm it. The idea that Elbaf is threatened from within does not hold, which leads to the second possibility, that of a threat to Elbaf from without.

Why did you let Joy Joy get away…Saturday? – Emu

Speaking of external threats to the world a pieceThere can be only one threat that the country can face and this threat will come through the Emu. Apparently, fans know that Emu is currently targeting Joy Boy. The secret of the World Government was revealed in the Egghead Island Ark, and now the people of the world are well aware of what the World Government is plotting and the fact that an ancient weapon is hidden there. More importantly, Emu just executed Shani for failing to stop Joy Boy. While Saturn is dead, it definitely doesn't mean Joy Boy, or Luffy is safe. Luffy's destiny is clear to the whole world. Vegapunk himself announced that he was going to Elbaf, and at the same time, fans also know that all the marines who talked to Saturn were aware of the fact that Luffy was also going to Elbaf. Apparently, Imu knows that Luffy goes for Elbaf, which means that Elbaf's threat will come directly from Imu. This threat that Emu would cause to Elbaf would inevitably kickstart what would become known as Ragnarok in the country.

Ragnarok of Elbaf and the one to save the land

The destruction of Elbaf will require Luffy to save it

Elbaf's Ragnarok will be triggered as the destruction of the World Tree Yggdrasil. It will come down the line towards its climax after some point, and it will be brought by Imu. Of course, one wonders how the emu can do this. It's too early for Imu to actually do anything a piece And a step by itself. But, the fact is that Emu didn't have to lift a finger for Elbaf's destruction. This is simply based on the fact that Emu has an ancient weapon at their disposal. This weapon is the ancient weapon Uranus. Emu only had enough fuel for the one shot used in the destruction of Lulucia, but now, the Mother Flame is protected by the World Government.

At the same time, York is also occupied by the government, which will continue to create more Mother Flames. Of course, making more Mother Flames will take some time. However, fans should also keep in mind that there is a huge chunk of Mother Flame ready to be used by the World Government. Considering the fact that Imu already knows Luffy's location and they want to get rid of Luffy as soon as possible, Elbaf will be targeted, which means that the World Tree Yggdrasil will be killed by the ancient weapon Uranus, which will bring. About Ragnarok in the country.

Of course, the one who saves the country will have to be the Sun God, Luffy, which will mirror how Mother Carmel explained in Big Mom's flashback that the Sun God will calm the disaster. Luffy will survive this disaster, but, he could potentially have another incredibly important character by his side, Vivi, who is going to be absorbed into the story very soon. Vivi may have a secret connection with an ancient weapon, specifically Uranus, and the two could work together to stop this disaster and save the land of monsters.
