In the ever-evolving world ofONE PIECE, the intricate connections between characters and locations continue to captivate fans. The latest developments surrounding Bartholomew Kuma and the islands of Elbaf and Fish-Man Island raise intriguing questions about their relationships and the potential for awakening. This article delves into these connections, exploring the technological marvels of Egghead, the significance of the Eve Tree, and the implications of Kuma’s awakening.

The Connection Between Elbaf and Egghead

The recent chapters ofONE PIECEhave sparked intriguing theories about the connection between Elbaf and Egghead. According to Lilith (Dr. Vegapunk), the climate on Elbaf is perfect, allowing for the coexistence of various technologies such as ‘Island Clouds’, ‘Sea Clouds’, ‘Bubbles’, ‘Rainbows’, and ‘Hover’. This is a significant point as these technologies are also utilized on Egghead.

Technological Marvels of Egghead

• Island Cloud Manufacturing Machine: Known as ‘Kumo Futo’, this device creates ‘Island Clouds’ to float the research layer.
• Perfect Climate Control: Dr. Vegapunk’s ‘Soil Air Conditioner’ regulates the temperature of the island, enabling the use of various technologies.

Egghead has successfully created an artificial perfect climate, which is a stark contrast to Elbaf, where the natural power of the Adam Tree controls the climate. This raises questions about the relationship between the two islands.

Elbaf and Fish-Man Island

Upon entering Fish-Man Island, Luffy and his crew were surprised to find ‘sky’ and ‘clouds’ in the deep sea. This phenomenon is attributed to the roots of the Eve Tree, which brings sunlight to the ocean floor. The bright waters create an illusion of sky, while the clouds may actually be ‘Island Clouds’ or ‘Sea Clouds’ formed by the island’s climate.

Significance of the Eve Tree

• Connection to Adam Tree: Usopp speculated about a connection between the Adam Tree, which built the Sunny, and the Eve Tree.
• Shared Climate: Both Elbaf and Fish-Man Island may share a perfect climate created by their respective trees.

This connection suggests a deeper relationship between the two islands, with both revering the sun in their own ways.

The Light of Fish-Man Island

The brightness of Fish-Man Island is due to the Eve Tree’s roots transmitting sunlight. When the sun shines above, the ocean floor is illuminated, and when night falls on the surface, the island also experiences darkness. This raises questions about the visibility of the Eve Tree above Fish-Man Island, especially considering the Holy Land Mariejois is directly above.

Potential Connections to Mariejois

• Absence of Natural Trees: Despite various depictions, there are no natural trees shown in Mariejois, suggesting a lack of natural vegetation.
• Historical Significance: The Lunarians, known for surviving in harsh environments, once inhabited the area, hinting at a complex history.

Could the roots of the Adam Tree in Elbaf connect to the Eve Tree in Fish-Man Island, allowing sunlight to reach the ocean floor? This possibility opens up new avenues for exploration in the narrative.

The Awakening of Bartholomew Kuma

As the story progresses, the focus shifts to Bartholomew Kuma and the potential for his consciousness to return. The ‘Rhythm of Liberation’ may play a crucial role in this awakening. The conversation between Dragon and Ivankov hints at the idea that if Kuma’s ‘fragments of instinct’ are triggered, he may instinctively move towards a specific goal.

Instincts and Memories

• Fragments of Will: The term ‘fragments of instinct’ suggests that Kuma retains some form of will or memory, possibly linked to his past.
• Connection to Bonney: Kuma’s actions may be driven by a desire to protect or reunite with his daughter, Bonney.

As Luffy prepares to awaken, the ‘Rhythm of Liberation’ could resonate with Kuma, potentially leading to a significant moment of realization and action.

Conclusion

The unfolding events inONE PIECEhint at a profound connection between Elbaf, Fish-Man Island, and the awakening of Bartholomew Kuma. As the narrative progresses, fans eagerly await the moment when the ‘Rhythm of Liberation’ may bring Kuma back to consciousness, intertwining the fates of these characters and locations.
