Unveiling the Truth about Jarul
- A sword is embedded in Jarul’s helmet.
- Jarul may hold significant secrets regarding the world’s history.
In the forthcoming chapter 1136, the focus will likely shift to Jarul, especially following Luffy’s encounter with him in the previous installment. Jarul first came to the spotlight during the Whole Cake Island arc, where Big Mom’s backstory introduced him as a pivotal figure. His companion, Jorul, met a grim fate at Big Mom’s hands during their assault on Elbaf Village. The presence of a sword piercing through Jarul’s helmet raises concerns about the turmoil he has faced since that time.
“Looks like one of our elders, Jarul, has finally made it here as well!” – Brogy
Jarul has shared that the sword was a life-saving device in the past, but details on how this came to be remain undisclosed. However, it’s clear that he will play a monumental role at the gathering, potentially unraveling the mystery of how he came to be in this predicament. This storyline thread has far-reaching implications—it could tie back to previous World Government incursions into Elbaf or perhaps link Jarul’s fate to Big Mom’s actions. Thus, Jarul’s story arc could provide critical insights moving forward.
Moreover, fans anticipate that chapter 1136 will delve into the rich lore connected to Jarul, the Giant Warrior Pirates, and the legendary figures like Joy Boy and Nika. Intriguingly, Jarul’s age of 408 raises speculative discussions about his survival, especially since it’s previously established that Giants have a lifespan of about 300 years. His longevity likely alludes to deeper mysteries about the culture and history of Elbaf that Oda is adept at weaving into the narrative.
Government Agents Continue Their Pursuit
God’s Knights on the Move
In chapter 1136, attention may return to two enigmatic Government agents introduced earlier. These agents appear to be linked to the God’s Knights and are actively searching for Loki in Elbaf. Previous encounters with two giants in Western Elbaf ended in confrontation when the giants couldn’t provide the information the agents wanted. This plotline is set to intensify, as one of the giants may soon reveal Loki’s whereabouts.
Even if the giants remain tight-lipped, it’s conceivable that the agents will be able to detect Loki’s presence due to the heightened abilities of Luffy, Sanji, and Zoro, who successfully sensed him prior to their own confrontation.
“Where is the one named Loki?” – the Bandaged Woman
As chapter 1136 unfolds, the interaction between these agents and Loki could reach a boiling point. Oda has several narrative paths available. The agents might either bypass the current giant festivities in Elbaf, or they could plunge directly into the scene. Bypassing the gathering could result in a significant clash in the Underworld of Elbaf, while crashing the banquet would put them in direct conflict with a Yonko crew. It appears more likely that they will opt to avoid the festivities for now, although this only delays inevitable conflict in the Giants’ territory.
Possible Revelation of the Silhouetted Figure
His Emergence at the Gathering
The enigma surrounding the silhouetted man continues to intrigue fans as the Elbaf Arc progresses. Oda has kept this character’s identity shrouded in mystery since long before the arc’s inception. Recent story developments have heightened anticipation, particularly following Collun’s claim that this figure is his human counterpart. This character is rumored to have been a formidable pirate, and his strength made him undaunted even in the presence of the Giant Warrior Pirates, pointing to a legendary background.
Chapter 1136 may be the pivotal moment where Oda finally unveils this character’s true identity. Speculations suggest he could be a former member of the Roger Pirates, possibly Scooper Gaban, adding further depth to the lore and connections of the One Piece universe.
If chapter 1136 addresses these key plotlines, it will likely be packed with revelations. However, in true Oda fashion, new mysteries might emerge even as old ones are solved. As fans eagerly await the next installment, the prolonged hiatus has only heightened their excitement, especially given the thrilling developments in the Elbaf storyline.
For those following the saga, One Piece is available through Viz Media. Fans can also read it for free on the Shonen Jump and Manga Plus platforms. Chapter 1136 is set to be released on January 19, 2025.
