The chapter primarily centered around Nico Robin’s continued dialogue with Saul at the Owl Library, as it also highlighted significant themes pertaining to Elbaf.
However, the chapter’s climax revealed the sinister villains for the arc, indicating that the narrative is escalating in tension and stakes.
The Visit to the Owl Library
In Chapter 1134, the spotlight shines on the Owl Library, long anticipated by fans and previously mentioned in Chapter 1133. The revelation of this mystical library lives up to the high expectations, capturing the imaginations of readers.
Only a few members of the Straw Hat crew accompanied Robin; Brook and Chopper were by her side, while Sanji remained to guard Nami. Luffy was seen approaching a Giant named Ripley, showcasing how much Elbaf is evolving. The chapter introduces new dimensions to the Owl Library, where any book that enters is instantly enlarged, a phenomenon hinting at a potential Devil Fruit ability.
“All books brought in here are immediately gigantified!” – Saul
With history preserved by Saul and the Giant Warrior Pirates, the Owl Library symbolizes the survival of Ohara’s legacy, teaching its tragic story to the larger world.
The Times Have Changed in Elbaf
The Children of Elbaf Want Trade Over War
While Robin explored the library, Luffy and Usopp continued their journey through Elbaf, uncovering a progressive change in the culture of the Giants. They observed children engaged in play areas, indicating a shift away from violent pasts towards an emphasis on education and trade.
Introducing Ripley, a Giantess who reflects the progressive spirit of Elbaf, the chapter illustrates a decisive shift from barbaric traditions to more civilized practices. The late King Harald’s wish for peaceful trade relations instead of conflicts is gradually influencing Elbaf, surprising members of the Straw Hat crew.
“The Great King Harald once said, trade with other countries instead of war!” – Ripley
This transformation hints at an overarching narrative direction that Oda is pursuing. Even in Harald’s absence, his vision for a more progressive Elbaf appears to be coming to fruition.
The chapter also explored King Harald’s son, Loki, who is shown communicating with a mysterious figure named Shaggy, suggesting deeper, unresolved plotlines. Loki’s kind disposition amidst trauma indicates his complex character, likely positioning him as a pivotal player in forthcoming chapters.
Shanks’s Twin Arrives in Elbaf
Finally, Shank’s Twin Brother Has Made an Appearance
The chapter’s most exhilarating twist occurs at its conclusion, involving a colossal summoning circle within a castle in Elbaf Village, flanked by flames. Two hooded figures, one unveiled as Shanks’s twin, emerge, paralleling other significant moments in the series and linking to the enigmatic elements of the World Government’s ongoing machinations.
After much speculation among fans, the appearance of Shanks’s twin confirms theories surrounding his character and hints at his involvement with critical events, possibly linked to Luffy and the Giants. This revelation fires up the anticipation for future confrontations and plot developments in upcoming chapters.
Fans eagerly await insights into Shanks’s twin brother’s motives; he may have urgent news or a confrontational intent. Nonetheless, the narrative is set to intensify significantly in forthcoming installments.
Due to a holiday break, the next chapter, One Piece 1135, is scheduled for release on January 5, 2024, so fans must remain patient and engaged for what’s coming next in this boundless adventure. One Piece can be read officially at Viz Media or accessed for free via the Shonen Jump and Manga Plus platforms.
