The Straw Hats’ Journey in Elbaf
The long-awaited arrival of the Straw Hat Pirates in Elbaf is here, making waves in the fandom as anticipation builds for the unfolding events of this arc. Known for unraveling significant mysteries about the World Government and engaging in thrilling confrontations, the Straw Hats are poised for impactful developments.
As we embark on the final saga of One Piece, the growth of the Straw Hats becomes increasingly crucial. With formidable foes looming ahead, each pirate is set to evolve their powers in unique ways. Fans are eagerly speculating about the potential upgrades as the arc progresses.
The Power Ups Of The Monster Trio
- Luffy aims to enhance his combat efficiency.
- Zoro must address his stamina issues with Enma.
- Sanji needs to tap into his full potential.
The Monster Trio is set to take center stage during the Elbaf arc, particularly in combat. As they confront powerful opponents, fans expect to see notable improvements in their skills. Luffy, having already attained Gear 5 and mastered multiple Haki forms, still requires additional prowess to face the formidable Five Elders and Imu. Joy Boy’s teachings indicate that a higher form of Haki is crucial for Luffy’s success. His journey towards mastering Conqueror’s Haki may begin in Elbaf, particularly during battles against the Holy Knights. Additionally, Luffy needs to enhance his Gear 5 duration and efficiency.

Zoro, on the other hand, has much room for improvement. While his output using Enma is commendable, he still falls short of Admiral or Yonko level. To surpass Mihawk, Zoro must enhance his skills. The challenges in Elbaf, likely posed by the Holy Knights or even Loki, will be pivotal for his growth. He must also work on his stamina and elevate his Conqueror’s Haki to a more refined state to keep pace with stronger foes.
Sanji, still impressing with his capabilities in this final saga, is expected to experience significant growth, primarily through scientific advancements yet to be realized as confirmed by Oda. Further enhancements in Haki and potential awakening of powers like Conqueror’s Haki are highly anticipated.
The Power Ups Of The Weakling Trio
Nami, Chopper, and Usopp Will Have Exciting Roles To Play In Elbaf
While the Monster Trio typically garners attention for their power-ups, the roles of the Weakling Trio ought to evolve in Elbaf. To become a formidable crew capable of taking down other Emperors, all members must continuously grow stronger.
Chopper’s trajectory may not see significant shifts, as his recent Monster Point upgrade allows him to fight for 30 minutes effectively, which he will likely maintain. In contrast, Nami urgently needs a power boost. Currently, her abilities, even with Zeus, have limitations. Given Elbaf’s mythical connections, especially to the lightning god Thor, it’s possible for Nami to discover new strength or enhancements aligned with those themes.

As for Usopp, his aspirations to become a warrior might finally bear fruit in Elbaf. Long dreaming of visiting this land, he may develop Armament Haki or, ideally, even Conqueror’s Haki. The story direction chosen by Oda will greatly influence his evolution. Additionally, Usopp’s weapon, Kuro Kabuto, could receive significant upgrades during this saga.
The Power Ups For The Remaining Straw Hats
The Other Straw Hats Might Not Get Major Boosts
The other members of the Straw Hat crew are likely to experience growth in the Elbaf arc, albeit their advancements may not be as substantial as those of Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji. For instance, Robin might gain access to Haki, while Jinbe’s status as a powerful character means his upgrades may be less clear-cut. Franky could unlock new scientific enhancements through collaboration with Vegapunk or by integrating the Adam Tree into his arsenal.
Finally, Brook’s potential power-up remains uncertain. Either he will retain his current abilities or Oda may delve into the darker themes of Elbaf’s Underworld, which could enhance Brook’s ghostly powers further. Overall, while all Straw Hats have growth potential in this arc, readers are eager to witness the unfolding chapters of this captivating saga, which continues to exceed expectations.
