One Piece's Elbaf Arc has begun with half of the Straw Hat crew split up as a new journey is coming.
Chapter 1127 of the One Piece manga has given fans a clearer look at where the missing Luffy and his crew are. It turns out they are in Elbaf, in a castle where everything is made of Lego.
First, Nami wakes up in a strange room. Then she defeats a giant bee with the help of Zeus. Hearing Usopp's voice at the end of the hallway, Nami runs to him and a giant hedgehog appears in front of her. The navigator runs away and sees Usopp being attacked by a giant cat wearing a crown.
The two of them ran away from the hedgehog and the giant cat in the castle courtyard. The giant cat slapped Usopp off the balcony, and he and Nami also fell from the balcony into the castle's backyard. Suddenly the giant cat transformed into a giant lion and attacked them again.
Just when things looked dire, Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji showed up. They used a combination attack, very similar to the one they used in chapter 162 of the Arabasta saga, to defeat a Sandora lizard. In chapter 1127, it seems like the three of them used an upgraded version of these moves.
The Straw Hats' monster trio hasn't performed a combination attack since the Sabaody arc, so One Piece fans were excited to see that moment.
One fan wrote: “This is the arc where the monster trio really makes a name for themselves! While Nami and Ussop realize how far behind they are and need to get stronger to become crewmates of the pirate king. So excited for this arc!!”
“Am I the only one who doesn't care about the whole debate and is just happy about how we got a combo attack from the Monster Trio since the Saboady arc? Did Oda just want a reference to Arabasta while doing that?”another added.
A fan expressed excitement: “Whenever the Monster Trio works together, it always feels great.”
