With the Weekly Shonen Jump magazine on break this week, fans are clamoring for any and all One Piece Chapter 1057 information they can get prior to the August 21 official release date. Thankfully, as is the standard procedure with publication breaks, it seems that hints, leaks, and spoilers are being released this week rather than in the actual week of publication.
One of the most significant pieces of information related to One Piece Chapter 1057 that has been released thus far is the editor’s note, which is usually a teaser. The editor’s note for the upcoming issue is no different, teasing a major adventure on the horizon for the Straw Hats while the rest of the world is allegedly in chaos.
Follow along as this article fully breaks down the One Piece Chapter 1057 editor’s note, and covers the fan reactions to the tease.
One Piece Chapter 1057 editor’s note suggests an epic adventure on the horizon for the Straw Hats as the world succumbs to chaos
One Piece Chapter 1057 spoiler information has thankfully begun releasing during the publication break week rather than the official week of release. While this has historically been the approach in previous similar situations, there’s no telling when Shueisha will adjust their protocol for publication break weeks.
Nevertheless, this has led to the editor’s note for Chapter 1057 being leaked quite early on Sunday, August 14, seemingly teasing a major adventure in the near future for the Straw Hats. The exact translation of the note reads:
"A chaotic world! Where are Luffy and co heading to next?"
Most likely, this teases their final departure from Wano in the upcoming issue, which may even reveal which island is next.
Fans are debating as to whether Elbaf will be the next island destination for the crew since it will be the most suitable given the current story. Many suspect that the final Road Poneglyph also lies on Elbaf, adding further credence to the theory that the land of Giants is indeed next up for the Straw Hats' adventure.
One fan makes a particularly strong case for Elbaf by citing recent spoilers from Film: Red, which seemingly portrays Yasopp as having Observation Haki superior to Katakuri’s. The Big Mom Pirate was formerly thought of as having the strongest Observation Haki in the series, but if the Yasopp scenes of the film are revealed to be canon, this obviously isn’t the case.
There’s also the general idea that Elbaf has been long-teased via Usopp’s aspiration, which is to become a strong warrior of the sea like the giants of Elbaf. Many hope that the island’s arc will focus on Usopp, giving him a treatment similar to that of Sanji in Whole Cake Island.
Others, meanwhile, are arguing against the next island being Elbaf for a variety of reasons. One common idea is that Shanks and Luffy will reunite on the island upon its introduction, and some fans feel that this reunion would happen too soon if Elbaf is indeed next. Some are simply arguing that they don’t want Elbaf to be a random island the crew goes to, likely implying that the destination should have more build-up.
Regardless of what ends up happening in One Piece Chapter 1057 or where the Straw Hat crew goes next, it’s clear that the stakes will be raised in the coming arc. With the “chaotic world” teased in the editor’s note raging as Luffy nears the end of his journey, fans can no doubt expect an epic final saga to finish out the series.
Be sure to keep up with all One Piece Chapter 1057 news as the week progresses, as well as series anime, manga, film, and live-action news throughout the year of its 25th anniversary.
