Warning! Contains reveal for One Piece Chapter #1085!
Fan A piece move closer to understanding the origins of one of the series’ most enigmatic objects and a key part of the manga’s secret lore: Ponegliffs. In the One Piece world, many fans are used to accepting new lore details without knowing everything about them. However, their patience always pays off, when author Eiichiro Oda decides to lift the veil of mystery surrounding his series, he never disappoints.
Chapter #1085 of One Piece, translated by Stephen Paul, tells of the mysterious Imu, the secret ruler of the World Government, giving Nefeltari Cobra an important history lesson about his ancestor Lily. They reveal that 800 years ago, Lily made an obvious mistake that caused the Ponegliffs to be released into the world. This action was considered so dangerous and harmful that Imu said that, rather than by mistake, it could have been an actual planned act of betrayal from Lily, one of the 20 kings who formed the Government World. Regardless of the intentions behind the action, this piece of information gives fans a deeper understanding of Ponegliff and provides them with a lot of the underlying theory.
One Piece reveals Lily was involved in the Ponegliff leak
The Ponegliffs are a collection of 30 indestructible stone blocks with ancient historical knowledge engraved on them. Through these stones, Luffy and his crew learned many things about the Void Century, including the existence of three incredibly powerful Ancient Weapons: Poseidon, Pluton, and Uranus. These four Ponegliffs are especially important because they contain information regarding the island of Laugh Tale, where One Piece is hidden, and the final destination of Luffy and his friends’ journey. These Road Ponegliffs are some of the most sought-after items in the One Piece world, with many powerful pirates, including Yonko, trying to collect them.
Given the importance of these objects, any new information about them is extremely important. The fact that Lily is directly responsible for releasing them to the world really makes many other details more meaningful. The first Ponegliff that the Straw Hats encountered was on Alabasta, an island ruled by Lily’s descendants, the Nefeltali. Also, if the release of Ponegliffs seems like an incident, it’s easy to see why they are scattered around the world (although this could also be to avoid the World Government being able to easily withdraw them).
Ponegliffs will be even more important in One Piece’s Final Saga
Consider the revelation, in the same chapter, that despite being one of the founders of the World Government, Lily carries the “will of D.”, the symbol of the Heavenly Dragon’s nemesis, incapable of release. Ponegliff was just an accident as she did it seem. As the Final Saga continues and more information about the Empty Century and One Piece is revealed, these Ponegliffs will become even more important. With A piece due to Oda’s health, fans may have to wait a while before the next big reveal, but fortunately Imu’s words gave them an important hint about the secret. hide Ponegliff.
