Fans were expecting the Giant to make some sort of impact in the Egghead Island arc sooner rather than later, and it finally happened in the previous chapter.

In the previous chapter, the name of the Iron Giant was revealed to be Emet. At the same time, fans also know that Emet is going to be incredibly important in the remainder of the arc, but at the same time, he will have another important role to play, which is fulfilling a promise he made to Joy Boy long ago.

One of the most important parts of the last few chapters of One Piece has been the revelation surrounding Emet. Fans know that this Iron Giant was created at some point during the Void Century. During this time, Emet was a force to be reckoned with, given his level of strength and that was showcased by Oda in the previous chapter. However, even more than that, fans know that Emet shared a bond with the likes of Joy Boy. In fact, a connection was drawn between Emet and Joyboy immediately after it awoke following the arrival of Luffy on Egghead Island. As soon as Luffy took to using Gear 5, Emet heard the Drums of Liberation and woke up. It was as if the drums sounded out a reminder to him that Joy Boy had returned, and he finally sprung forth and made his move. The more that Luffy utilized Gear 5, the more intense Emet became.

Eventually, he started getting up and going towards Joyboy. When he walked across a burning Egghead, he clearly thought of Joy Boy and apologized. Of course, back then, fans did not know why Emet was apologizing to him. In fact, even right now, it is quite unclear as to why that was the case. However, fans have more clues pertaining to Emet and Joyboy’s relationship now than they did before. One Piece chapter 1119 has much to do with that, and fans know for a fact that things are going to get far more interesting from here on out in the story in regards to the bond that these two characters share. One Piece chapter 1119 gave fans a glimpse of a conversation between these two.
