The new chapter of the manga takes One Piece one step closer to the upcoming Elbaf arc. It shows us the aftermath of the events in the Egghead arc.
Many things happened on the futuristic island that shocked readers, including Vegapunk's broadcast of the message and the death of an Elf. The world came to know the incident on Egghead Island as the 'Egghead Incident'. Although this is a fairly new development, the arc started in 2022, it seems like the author of One Piece has been telling us about this event for years, it's just that no one has noticed yet.
The red tank top Luffy wore as a child.
After the death of Saint Saturn and the end of the Egghead arc in chapter 1125, readers found a surprising connection to an old chapter (and episode). It was a small detail, but specific enough to be a foreshadowing by Oda.
In Luffy's childhood memories with Ace and Sabo, the protagonist is seen wearing a red tank top, with a broken egg and a dead chick with the words 'tamago jiken'. This phrase translates to 'egg incident' in English. And this is an event that happened many years later.
Furthermore, fans believe that the dead chick on Luffy's shirt is supposed to be Saturn. The broken egg is also similar to how Punk Records flew into the sky in chapter 1125. This means that Oda not only foreshadowed the Egghead Incident years ago, but also left Easter eggs for such important events.
Fans are going crazy over the discovery. One person said: “It's quite a coincidence if you think about it? I wouldn't be surprised if Oda actually thought of this when he drew Luffy's tank top.”
“I think at the end of the story, we will see the clue that the author has hinted at the One Piece treasure”another added.
Previously, in May, One Piece fans were also shocked to discover the revelation about the mysterious Mother Flame that was foretold by Eiichiro Oda nearly 20 years ago.
Mother Flame is an extremely powerful substance created by Vegapunk under the orders of the World Government. It can be used as a weapon of mass destruction, as demonstrated when the Gorosei and Imu used it on Lulusia, destroying the entire island in a blink of an eye.
Mother Flame was officially introduced in the One Piece manga.
Chapter 1114 revealed what Mother Flame looks like. It is a small flame swimming inside a glass tank filled with liquid. It looks small but is currently one of the most powerful and dangerous weapons in the world.
Some eagle-eyed fans have noticed a resemblance between Mother Flame and one of the diagrams shown in Enel's side story. Titled Enel's Great Space Operations, the cover story follows Enel's journey to the moon after the events of the Skypiea arc. This cover story continued for 38 chapters and ran from 2006 to 2007.
Enel discovers a mural with a mysterious flame drawing.
Near the end of this cover story, Enel discovers several murals depicting the history of the Skypieans, Shandians, and Birkians, all of whom originated from the moon. There is also a painting of a flame inside a round vase that looks suspiciously similar to the Mother Flame. It seems there is some connection between the history of Skypiea and the Mother Flame.
