Exploring the Divine Text and Wall Paintings of Elbaf
Greetings, fellow One Piece enthusiasts! After reading the latest chapter of One Piece, my mind has been racing with thoughts and theories about the implications of the Divine Text and the mysterious wall paintings related to the “Blank Century.” This week, I’ve shared my thoughts in three separate posts, but I still feel there’s so much more to discuss regarding the Divine Text and the enigmatic wall paintings. In particular, the wall painting believed to be a child’s doodle from the era of the “Blank Century” seems far too sophisticated to be mere child’s play. The content and the era it represents suggest that it is a legacy left by those erased from history, entrusted to the descendants of Elbaf. It is undoubtedly a visual representation meant to decode the Divine Text. Let’s dive into the details!
Connection Between the Divine Text and the Wall Paintings
The wall paintings are estimated to have been created during the “Blank Century,” while the Divine Text predates that period, originating from a time even before the mythological era. Therefore, it is reasonable to conclude that the wall paintings depict the ancient Divine Text as interpreted by the people of Elbaf around 900 years ago. One question remains: is the Divine Text a historical record in part, or is it a complete prophetic text? This raises the question of whether the Divine Text was created during the era of the First World or a later time, and whether the Second and Third Worlds only contain prophecies of the future, or if everything was written as prophecy in an even older era than the First World. While it may not directly affect the main storyline, it certainly piques my curiosity.
Structure of the Wall Paintings
The wall paintings are divided into three main parts, centered around a massive tree (possibly the Treasure Tree Adam?). The right side represents the First World, the center the Second World, and the left side the Third World, as inferred from the contrast with the Divine Text. The boundary between the First and Second Worlds is ambiguous, as there are depictions of monsters from both sides battling each other, while there is no continuity with the Third World. Despite being the oldest era, the First World appears the most modern, likely due to the advanced civilization brought from the moon. The pointed, sun-like candy-like objects held by the people may represent the “forbidden sun” mentioned in Chapter 1 of the Divine Text.
The Final War of the Third World
The Third World, which seems to represent the present, hints at an impending battle. The painting depicts a diverse group of people challenging a gigantic monster. At the center, we can clearly see the form of our protagonist, Monkey D. Luffy, in his Gear 5 form, resembling the “Sun God” Nika! Above him flies King of the Lunarians! Could it be that King will become an ally? To his right, we see a whale that could be Laboon, and further right, a warrior from Shandora. Below them is the ancient robot Emmet, who recently helped us escape from Egghead! Below that is what appears to be Loki from the giant race. With Loki not being a villain in the Elbaf arc, could he join forces with Luffy and the others against the Knights of God?
Summary of Future Allies
Let’s summarize the relationships between the figures depicted in the wall paintings and Luffy’s crew:
- Monkey D. Luffy:The protagonist who awakened the powers of the Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Nika, resembling the legendary Sun God.
- King (Alber):The last survivor of the Lunarian race, who was saved by Kaido and fought against Zoro.
- Laboon:The whale waiting at Twin Cape, who promised to reunite with Luffy.
- Shandora Warriors:Former guerrillas who lost their land to the sky islanders.
- Emmet:An ancient robot who fought alongside Joy Boy during the “Blank Century”.
- Loki:A giant prince who has a shared hatred for the Celestial Dragons with Luffy.
- Samurai:The warriors of Wano, who have a deep connection to the Poneglyphs.
- Fishmen and Mermaids:Historically oppressed, they live in Fishman Island and have a connection to Joy Boy.
- Minks:Allies of Wano, who fought alongside Luffy against Kaido and Big Mom.
- Tontatta Tribe:Small but powerful warriors who joined Luffy’s crew after being liberated from oppression.
As we analyze these connections, it raises questions about whether all these characters will unite in the final battle against a colossal enemy. The wall paintings suggest a gathering of allies, but will they all come together directly or indirectly? For instance, the Tontatta tribe is already part of Luffy’s crew, so if a major conflict arises, they will undoubtedly join the fight. However, will Laboon leave Twin Cape to join the battle? It would be more touching for Brook to reunite with him after a long journey.
Interpretation of the Divine Text
Finally, let’s summarize the interpretations of the Divine Text as discussed in my previous article:
First World
There is fire on the earth, and people succumb to desire, touching the forbidden sun. The enslaved are in sorrow, and the “Sun God” appears. The earth’s god is angry, and with the great flame serpent, the world is enveloped in death and darkness. They can no longer meet.
Second World
In the void, there is breath. The forest god sends forth magic, and the sun only spreads war. The people of the half-moon dream, while the people of the moon dream. People kill the sun and become gods, and the sea god rages.
Third World
In chaos, there is a void. Inconvenient remnants recall the promised day and hear the voice of the half-moon. The “Sun God” laughs and dances, leading the world to its end. The sun returns, and a new morning comes. They will surely meet again.
As we reflect on these interpretations, it becomes clear that the upcoming battles in One Piece are not just about individual conflicts but are deeply rooted in the history and prophecies of the world. The stage is set for an epic showdown that will unite various races and characters in a fight for freedom and truth. Stay tuned for more thrilling developments!
