Recent teasers and raw scans for One Piece chapter 1071 have shown a pirate crew making landfall on Elbalf, the fortress island inhabited by the warrior Giants. Because they are not a fan-favourite group, the news comes as a shock. Spoilers for One Piece chapter 1071 reveal that Eustass Kid’s pirate gang has arrived on the island of Elbalf while the Straw Hats are engaged in battle with the CP0 and the Heart Pirates are engaged in battle with the Blackbeard Pirates. Unfortunately, it seems that their arrival is just as shocking to them as it is to everyone else, as this was not where they intended to go. According to raw scans for One Piece chapter 1071, Eustass Kid accidentally makes it to Elbalf.
When Kid finally reaches Elbalf, what can we expect?
Spoilers for One Piece chapter 1071 reveal that before Kid is roused by Killer, the reader will watch Kid dreaming about gigantic fish. As soon as they get close to an island, the crew will send a message to the captain to let him know that they’re there and waiting for his command. Even when Killer explains that this is not just any island, but Elbalf, he would not comprehend why they should think twice about landing there. Spoilers for One Piece chapter 1071 suggest that the audience will next witness Kid’s ecstatic expression against the backdrop of the island’s silhouette. Kid is a formidable pirate who joined forces with Luffy and Law to take on Big Mom.
The fact that he lost against Shanks and didn’t become Yonko doesn’t change the fact that he’s on par with Law and a potential threat to Straw Hat. He has been chiefly unseen up until now, but it seems like mangaka Oda aims to change that and make him a contender for the title of Pirate King. Fans, on the other hand, are shocked that the conflict between the Kid Pirates and the Giants will play second fiddle to everything else. The fact that the showdown between Law and Blackbeard was off-screen was also a source of disappointment. But it’s a tried-and-true Oda manoeuvre, familiar to viewers.
The importance of Elbalf in One Piece, and why
Elbalf is a New World island kingdom ruled by giants, and its military is widely regarded as the most formidable in the world. The kid’s crewmates’ reluctance to land is understandable. The Marine Corps avoids this island at all costs. Besides being Usopp’s ideal destination, Elbalf is thought to be red-haired Shanks’ home and the site of the elusive last Road Poneglyph, which holds the secret to locating Laugh Tale’s locations. If Kid is successful in his search, he will have beaten off his rivals and claimed a significant advantage in the battle for the One Piece treasure.
