It is safe to say that Egghead lived up to all expectations and surpassed most of them, and, at the same time, it set up even more exciting things for the future ofOne Piece.

The Major Players Highlighted By Oda For Elbaf
Elbaf’s Major Players Have Already Been Shown By Oda
The Elbaf arc ofOne Pieceis going to be absolutely phenomenal and that’s because this arc is going to be somewhat similar to the likes of Wano, or Whole Cake Island, Dressrosa, and Alabasta. In other words, this is going to be a major arc with a massive conflict brewing, where the Strawhat Pirates cannot just run away as they did on Egghead. The crew will have to engage in high-level combat to showcase why they are worthy of being called a Yonko group. Of course, this is the Final Saga of One Piece, which means that fans won’t see only the Strawhat Pirates take center stage. Oda has previously clearly mentioned that the Final Saga will see him focus on multiple groups at the same time, and the Strawhats won’t be the only focus. Of course, the Strawhat Pirates will likely be the center of attention and play the most important roles. However, groups other than the Strawhats are going to take up the spotlight as well. This means that there are going to be several important players in the Elbaf arc, and it appears that Oda has already highlighted them.

The first major group that fans will see focused on in Elbaf is, of course, the Straw Hat Pirates. The Strawhats will always be the core of any good One Piece arc, and it appears that they are going to be heavily involved here as well. In fact, the island of Elbaf will be explored through Luffy and his crewmate. But, the Straw Hats will only do a part of what Oda intends for this arc to show. The other players are going to do what’s left.
The second most important player in the Elbaf arc of One Piece is most likely going to be Shanks. Fans know the Red Hair Pirates to be an incredibly important part of the story, and one that they have always wanted to see more of. In fact, the Red Hair Pirates were introduced to the story in the Romance Dawn Arc. This is the first pirate crew that fans saw inOne Piece, yet, they have been kept away for an incredibly long time. This pirate crew definitely needs more attention, and fans absolutely cannot wait to see that.
Another player thatOne Piecechapter 1126 seemed to highlight was Blackbeard. From the Yonko, it appears thatBlackbeard is going to be very important in Elbaf as well.While he might not come visit the island of Elbaf, he has set his eyes on something else, which may or may not include the likes of the Revolutionary Army and the Marines surrounding the Holy Land of Marijoa.
Of course, Buggy could end up playing a very important role as well, and, as is obvious, the Revolutionary Army and the God’s Knights are going to be at each other’s throats. All this will be focused on in the Elbaf arc ofOne Piecewhich fans absolutely cannot wait for.

While there are many important players for the fansto see in the Elbaf arc, none are going to be as important as the Straw Hat Pirates. In fact, the Straw Hats have already begun the journey to Elbaf, and it is clear for the fans to see that this adventure has now kick-started officially. InOne Piece1126, fans could see the Straw Hat Pirates split into groups, which is a very common strategy utilized by Oda at the beginning of new arcs.
Essentially, the Strawhat Pirates have been split into two groups. The first group includes Luffy, Zoro, Nami, Sanji, and Chopper. This group is aboard the Thousand Sunny and have currently gone missing. Fans will likely see more focus being thrown on them in the upcoming chapter ofOne Piece.
Where am I? – Nami
The second group is currently on the Great Eirik, and this group includes Robin, Franky, Brook, and Jinbe. They also have with them Jewelry Bonney, Kuma, and Lilith. It is likely that this group is still somewhere on the ocean looking to find Luffy and his group, and they will most likely do what they can to find this pirate crewbefore they go on to the land of Elbaf.
A New Adventure Finally Begins In The Elbaf Arc
The Straw Hats Have Already Started The Elbaf Arc of One Piece
One Piece chapter 1126 showcased Nami waking up in a mysterious place to the signs. As soon as Nami opened her eyes, it seemed like she had a very strange attire on,which resembled that of the Elbaf warriors. Nami woke up in a place that looked like a Lego castle, and clearly, she had no idea of where she was. Nami also heard someone’s voice, which was likely Luffy, and while he was nowhere close in the final scene of the chapter, fans know for a fact that he is around her somewhere. As such, the adventure has already begun, and one half of the Straw Hat Pirates is essentially lost. Whether they are lost at sea in a place nearby Elbaf, or if someone has managed to take the ship and drag it to Elbaf already, remains to be seen.
For now, what fans know for sure is that Oda has alreadygiven the Straw Hat Piratesa new adventure to embark upon. Nami seems to be its protagonist at the moment.One Piecechapter 1127 will most likely focus on the other members who are lost as well, and finally explain the mystery of what happened to the group while they were sailing towards the land of the Giants.
