As the One Piece series gears towards the final arc, the conclusion of the tumultuous events on Egghead Island marks a pivotal juncture for the Straw Hat Pirates. Throughout the Straw Hats journey, they form alliances that could help them in the future, and the events of Egghead have shown that they are at the cusp of forming new alliances that could significantly alter the course of their journey. The world beyond Egghead Island is teeming with potential allies, especially with the presence of the giants on Egghead. The ominous presence of the Five Elders at Egghead in One Piece is a convincing reason for the Straw Hats to form more formidable alliances. This will play a critical role in shaping future battles, uncovering hidden truths, and ultimately, steering the Straw Hats closer to their overarching quest for the One Piece.
The Chaos On Egghead Island
As the tumultuous events continue to unravel on Egghead Island , the events on the Island itself are bound to bring forth new and unexpected bonds with the Straw Hat pirates. The presence of the other bodies of Vegapunk is already playing a pivotal role in the escape of the Straw Hats from Egghead. As the events continue to unfold, fans are yet to know whether the other bodies of Vegapunk will escape the chaos of Egghead. However, there is no doubt that the survivors would be an addition to the Straw Hats crew with their vast scientific knowledge.
Moreover, the chaos on Egghead Island has facilitated the presence of the giants’ race. Even in Whole Cake Island, Big Mom reiterates and wishes to have the giants as an ally. As a Yonko, she believed an alliance with the giants would make her rule stronger and her territory indestructible. Also, the revival of the iron giant, Emet, who existed in the Void Century and is presumed to be one of the crew members of Joyboy, cannot be overlooked. Will Emet follow who he presumed to be the next Joyboy on his next voyage, or will Egghead Island be his last standing? This answer can only be given by Eiichiro Oda, the creator of the One Piece series, as the series dives towards its final arc.
Potential Alliance Of The Straw Hat Pirates
The Elbaf Giants
One of the most anticipated destinations for the Straw Hats is Elbaf, the land of giants. The first time the giants were introduced was in Little Garden. The Straw Hat Pirates have established a positive relationship with several giants throughout their journey. The first notable interaction with Elbaf giants occurred in the Little Garden arc, where the Straw Hats befriended Dorry and Brogy and helped settle the longtime feud between the two giants. The mutual respect and friendship forged during this arc laid the foundation for a potential relationship with the giants, which came to fruition on Egghead Island.
On Egghead Island, the Elbaf giants came to the rescue of the Straw Hats and the reincarnation of a legend that existed in Elbaf history. The Elbaf giants believe in the Sun God Nika, a powerful god that existed in the giants’ lore. Hence, the Straw Hats alliance with the Elbaf giants will bring unparalleled strength, combat abilities, and vast knowledge about the past −Ancient Weapons and the Void Century. The giants’ long lifespan allows them to accumulate vast knowledge and experience, potentially holding key information about the world’s history. Elbaf’s knowledge aligns with the Straw Hats’ ultimate goal of uncovering the world’s true history, making Elbaf a strategically important destination. Also, the Straw Hat captain will learn more about his power and the Sun God Nika.
Moreover, an alliance with the Elbaf giants would resonate deeply with the One Piece narrative. The series consistently explores themes of friendship, loyalty, and the fight against injustice. The giants have a strong sense of honor and commitment to their friends, and these elements fit into the personalities of the Straw Hats.
The Revolutionary Army
The Revolutionary Army and the Straw Hat Pirates share a common enemy: the World Government and its oppressive structures. The Straw Hats’ core principle of freedom resonates deeply with the Revolutionary Army’s mission to kick the oppressive system that allows injustice. Throughout their journey, the Straw Hats have consistently fought against corrupt regimes and freed countless nations like Alabasta, Dressrosa, and Wano from subjugation. In this vein, the Straw Hats’ innate desire to protect the innocent and fight for freedom aligns perfectly with the Revolutionary Army’s goals. This ideological synergy makes the two factions natural allies.
The Revolutionary Army has yet to make a decisive move in the series, and as the series gears towards the final arc, it won’t be long anymore. The personal connections between key figures in the Revolutionary Army and the Straw Hats instigate the potential for a future alliance. The most significant connection is between Luffy and Dragon, his father. While their relationship has yet to be explored, the shared bloodline suggests a profound bond that could be developed further. Also, the bond between Luffy and Sabo, the Revolutionary Army’s chief of staff, would ease any potential alliance that is likely to happen in the future between the two factions. The Straw Hat captain also met Ivankov at Impel Down, which gives more credence that the Straw Hats and the Revolutionary Army might become allies post-Egghead. The dark forces that pull the strings in the World Government, like the Five Elders and Imu, are beginning to surface, and Luffy’s crew alone cannot overpower them. The fights on Egghead against the Five Elders with their enigmatic powers are enough proof that an equally powerful force must unite to topple the World Government’s tyrannical rule.
