Introduction

The latest chapter of ONE PIECE, Chapter 1132, has sparked intriguing discussions among fans, particularly regarding the character Louis Arnaud and his cryptic advice. As we delve into the depths of this chapter, it becomes evident that Arnaud’s warnings about not overstaying in Elbaf carry significant weight. Could this character, who first appeared in Chapter 115, be more than just a footnote in the grand narrative? His connection to the legendary “Brag Men” and the implications of his advice could hint at deeper mysteries within the world of ONE PIECE.

Who is Louis Arnaud?

Louis Arnaud is introduced in Chapter 115 during the Little Garden arc, where he is mentioned in the book “Brag Men,” a compilation of tales from various adventurers. Although he is not the author of this book, he is categorized among the “liars”—a term used to describe those who have experienced the extraordinary yet are often disbelieved. His description of Little Garden as a “small garden” reflects the whimsical nature of the world Oda has created, where even the most fantastical elements are met with skepticism.

The Warning: “Do Not Stay Long in This Land”

In Chapter 1132, the Straw Hat Pirates regroup in the village of Elbaf, and the narration emphasizes the grandeur of this land. Arnaud’s warning resonates here, suggesting that there is something perilous about lingering too long in Elbaf. This could relate to the accumulation of records (logs) that adventurers must manage while navigating the unpredictable waters of the Grand Line.

Time Flow in Elbaf

• Giants age differently than humans.
• Potential discrepancies in time perception between Elbaf and other lands.

One of the most fascinating aspects of Elbaf is the unique time flow experienced by its inhabitants. Giants grow at half the rate of humans, and their lifespans are significantly longer. This raises questions about how time is perceived in Elbaf compared to other regions. If a day in Elbaf equates to several days elsewhere, the implications for adventurers could be dire.

The Accumulation of Logs

Arnaud’s advice likely pertains to the “log pose”—a navigational tool crucial for adventurers in the Grand Line. The concern is that if one stays too long in Elbaf, the log pose may become useless, leading to a perilous situation where adventurers cannot navigate to their next destination. This echoes the experiences in the Little Garden arc, where the log pose took a year to stabilize.

Colon’s Role in the Narrative

In this chapter, we are introduced to a new character, a child named Colon, who seems to have a significant role in the unfolding story. His admiration for Shanks and his potential connections to the larger narrative suggest that he may be more than just a side character. Could Colon be linked to the royal lineage of Elbaf, similar to how Luffy is connected to significant figures in the world?

Conclusion

As we await the next chapter, the implications of Louis Arnaud’s warnings and the introduction of Colon promise to deepen the narrative of ONE PIECE. Fans are left to ponder the mysteries of Elbaf and the potential connections between its inhabitants and the broader world. Stay tuned for more revelations!
