One Piece Theory: Eiichiro Oda is Set to Recreate Another Arc with Elbaf that Would Give Shanks a Heartbreaking Goodbye

One Piece has its fair share of twists and turns. This holds especially true with character deaths and revelations. Eiichiro Oda’s magnum opus is heading to its final saga. With the end of Egghead Arc, the journey to the island of giants will uncover major events. The arc might mirror the series’ previous arcs. However, there’s more to it.

Most arcs in the series mirror each other. Alabasta shares similarities with Dressrosa and so on. To say the least, Elbaf might mirror Amazon Lily arc. However, fans speculate about Shanks’ biggest sacrifice in the upcoming arc. It would mark some of the major events in the story.    

Elbaf Arc may mirror Amazon Lily according to this One Piece theory.

One Piece marks the beginning of its final saga with the straw hats’ arrival in Elbaf. With the end of the Egghead Arc, the upcoming arc will uncover several mysteries. This includes the ‘Man marked with flames’. The arc will outline Loki’s real identity as the prince of the island.

Elbaf is speculated to be mirroring Amazon Lily. In both arcs, Nami wakes up to strange circumstances. From Weatheria to Lego House, there are similarities between the two. Her disappearance is linked to Loki. While some suggest a romance between the two, it is a disputable claim.   

A theory posited by @writingpanini draws similarities between all the arcs. Additionally, several fans added their speculations to this.

The upcoming arc might outline a much-needed power-up for Usopp. However, the series might give a painful ending to the Red-haired pirate Shanks.

Shanks is one of the pivotal characters in Eiichiro Oda’s series. He is one of the most powerful characters. Trained under Silvers Rayleigh, he inspired Luffy to become a pirate. However, he has been deemed evil by most fans. From his pursuit of the One Piece to his poisoning Bartolomeo, he seems to represent a grey-scale personality.

Fans’ suspicions arose when Shanks met the Gorosei. The World Government is notorious for its actions against pirates. His meeting the Elders was a feat. However, his ambiguity as a character is vexing to most fans. Oda might plan for a bigger plot twist with his death. Shanks’ departure may catalyze developments in the story.    

Most of the arcs run parallel with one another. Egghead mirrors Sabaody in most ways. This holds especially true for Straw Hats’ separation and their training in different islands. Nonetheless, the upcoming arc will uncover some shocking revelations in the series.

One Piece is available for streaming on Crunchyroll. The manga is available to read on Viz Media.
