The Connection Between Ace’s Tattoo and Oz the Great and Powerful

In the latest developments of the Elbaf arc in ONE PIECE, there seems to be a fascinating connection to the elements of “The Wizard of Oz.” If this is indeed the case, what could it signify? Let’s delve into the details…

The Wizard of Oz

In “The Wizard of Oz,” the protagonist Dorothy is transported to the magical land of Oz, where she meets three key characters: the Scarecrow, the Tin Man, and the Cowardly Lion. Each of these characters represents a specific trait that they seek to obtain: the Scarecrow desires a brain, the Tin Man seeks a heart, and the Cowardly Lion wishes for courage. Together, they journey to the Emerald City in hopes of finding what they lack.

Brain, Heart, and Courage

• In ONE PIECE Chapter 1118, Dr. Vegapunk (Stella) and Bartholomew Kuma are transported to the “Great Eirik” ship after their respective states of being are compromised.
• In this arc, Usopp’s aspiration to become a “brave warrior of the sea” parallels the Cowardly Lion’s quest for courage.
• Each of these three characters may represent the trio from “The Wizard of Oz” in their journey through Elbaf.

Dr. Vegapunk, who has had his brain separated, corresponds to the Scarecrow, while Kuma, who has lost all thought and self, represents the Tin Man. Usopp, who wishes to become a brave warrior, aligns with the Cowardly Lion. This suggests that the characters in Elbaf may find what they seek during their adventure.

Over the Rainbow

One of the most famous songs from “The Wizard of Oz” is “Over the Rainbow.” In Chapter 1132 of ONE PIECE, the characters cross a rainbow to enter the island of Elbaf, which may symbolize their journey towards their dreams.

The Emerald City

Could the Emerald City be located in Elbaf? If the story of the Emerald City is indeed referenced in the Elbaf arc, it could lead to the next adventure for the characters. Perhaps Laugh Tale itself is the “Emerald City” where dreams are realized.

Conclusion

The Elbaf arc appears to weave together elements from “The Wizard of Oz,” suggesting that the characters will embark on a journey of self-discovery and growth. As they seek courage, heart, and brain, they may find that these qualities have been within them all along. Keep an eye on the developments in Elbaf!
