WARNING: SPOILERS FOR ONE PIECE CHAPTER #1129
The Straw Hat crew has finally made it toOne Piece’sElbaf, and in only a few chapters,Luffyhas already proven to be stronger than the most dangerous Giants on the island. Even though the Straw Hat Captain has elevated his skills to that of a Pirate Emperor, he’s dwarfed by almost everything readers have seen in the land of the Giants. Still, in classic Luffy fashion, he found himself imprisoned in a mysterious place that was not ready for him.
One Piecefans waited long to explore Elbaf island, which was first hinted at more than 1000 chapters ago in the manga. But after the first five Straw Hats woke up inside a room built to look like a fantasy land, the arc began with a mysterious false start. However, chapter #1129 revealed that the enormous fake location once served as a prison for giants. Luffy proves capable of destroying the prison wall with a single attack, showing thatthe Straw Hat captain is far more robust than the Giants the prison was built to restrain.

Throughout his journeys, Luffy often fought against opponents much larger than he was, including some formidable Giants who were part of Kaido’s crew during the Raid on Onigashima. However, the grand scale of the Giant’s homeland has certain fans curious about how the Straw Hat crew would stack up against the concentrated might of the humongous warriors who tower above all humans in size and length of their lifespans. Still, like all of the locations Luffy finds himself in, the island does not seem prepared for the chaos the future Pirate King brings without fail.

After heading directly towards a forbidden area that a relatively small giant warned the Straw Hats not to approach, they discovered the room was the creation of a colossal figure calling himself the “Sun God.” After evading thefake whoOne Piecefans were teasedoff years ago, the captor stated, “It was built to prevent giants from escaping!” While it may be too early to tell if Elbaf will be able to provide any challenging opponents for Luffy, his ability to break through the prison shows that even the most dangerous Giants won’t stand much of a chance against the Straw Hat Pirate Emperor.
