Warning: This article contains significant spoilers regarding the Elbaf arc of One Piece.
Overview of Key Points
- Luffy’s potential extraterrestrial origins are hinted at, suggesting he is not originally from the planetary setting of One Piece, known as Blue Star.
- Eiichiro Oda discloses pivotal details involving the destruction of two worlds during the Elbaf narrative.
- There are strong implications that Luffy’s ancestry may trace back to individuals from the moon.
The Elbaf arc of One Piece has captivated fans by unveiling astonishing revelations over the past few months, and it’s evident that creator Oda has just begun to peel back the layers of this complex narrative. Elbaf, with its deep ties to the Sun God Nika and the historical fabric of the world, serves as a repository for numerous secrets since its inhabitants represent the longest-living race in the series.
The implications of Oda’s recent revelations may sound unbelievable, yet they hold significant weight within the story framework. One of the most striking hints made during the Elbaf arc is that Luffy may actually be an alien within the context of the world of One Piece.
The Harley Texts and the Mystery of the Moon People
- Harley unveils significant truths about the One Piece universe.
- It is revealed that the world faced two cataclysmic destructions.
Oda’s unexpected disclosure about the dual world destructions within the Elbaf arc has left fans astounded since it was first introduced. This complex narrative emerged from insights provided by characters including Jarul, and later, the details were fleshed out further with the unveiling of the Harley texts.
This scriptural document is segmented into three distinct eras, with the final portion alluding to forthcoming events. As Nico Robin peruses this text, Franky is depicted observing a mural that complements the narrative. The verses of the Harley texts express the dire histories of the world:
First World
In a blaze, the land fell prey to human desires, reaching for the forbidden Sun. The enslaved populace called out for solace, prompting the appearance of the Sun God. Enraged by this defiance, the Earth God, together with a fiery serpent, cloaked the world in death and despair. Those deities would never unite again.
Second World
The void stirred with life as the Forest God unleashed monstrous beings. The Sun merely ignited the flames of conflict, while the inhabitants of both the half-moon and full-moon engaged in their dreams. Eventually, humanity rose against the Sun, assuming godlike powers and enraging the Sea God. Once more, they would never unite again.
Third World
From chaos emerged a void, with shadows recalling promises unfulfilled, resonating with echoes from the fractured moon. The Sun God dances and triumphs amidst impending destruction, heralding a return of light, paving the way for a new dawn, where meeting again seems a possibility.
The texts narrated by Robin elucidate the catastrophic events that led to the destruction of the world across two instances, while the third iteration, where Luffy is recognized as the Sun God, is poised to instigate profound transformation. Pertaining to Luffy’s hidden lineage, the clues lean heavily on the implications drawn from the Second World. Oda scarcely touches upon any peculiar races in the First World, suggesting these complexities unfolded later in the timeline.
Why Luffy is Considered to be from the Moon
Potential Lunar Lineage of Luffy
Diving into the Second World of One Piece reveals the crux of the Harley texts. This section discloses that the creation of Devil Fruits originated from the Forest God, spreading across the realm. Additionally, it recounts how humans obliterated the Sun, seizing divine power for themselves. However, the Second World unfolds layers beyond this central narrative.
As Jarul emphasizes, our own world has faced destruction not once, but twice! Within the Second World, Oda introduces the inhabitants of the Halfmoon and Fullmoon. This categorization becomes particularly intriguing, suggesting that those from the full moon might be descendants of ancient moon dwellers. This revelation aligns with existing lore regarding the Winged races, including Skypeians, Shandians, Birkans, and potentially Lunarians. If the full moon populace hails from the moon, what does that imply for the half-moon people?
The conclusion becomes evident: those with a lineage bridging the Fullmoon and Blue Star would represent the half-moon individuals. This raises the possibility that if a Fullmoon descendant partnered with someone from the Blue Star, their offspring would be classified as half-moon. Notably, the half-moon symbolically resonates with the letter “D,”suggesting that all individuals bearing this initial may possess lunar ancestry. This lineage potentially includes our focal character, Monkey D. Luffy, whose most plausible ancestors seem to be the Shandians, known to have settled in the Blue Sea.
To put it simply, Luffy is portrayed as an extraterrestrial entity, further complicated by the correlation of his Sun God Nika abilities to the moon’s influence, reminiscent of the Sulong transformation that draws power from lunar energy. Despite how incredible this narrative may seem, it aligns with the portrayal of Luffy as an alien being, reinforcing his suitability as the Sun God.
Anticipation is growing for One Piece chapter 1145, scheduled for release this upcoming Sunday. In Japan, the chapter will debut at 12 AM JST on Monday, coinciding with an international drop on April 6, 2025.
