One Piece chapter 1131 is set to be released on November 11, 2024, but the raw scans for the chapter have already been released. After the spoilers revealed the special bounty of Loki and the name of the place to which he was bound, the raw scans added a key detail confirming the presence of Adam Tree. This hinted at the return of two pirates who drowned near Elbaph Island.

Loki was bound to the Adam Tree, the same tree out of which the Straw Hats' Thousand Sunny was built. This could mean that Trafalgar Law and Eustass Kid, whom Blackbeard and Shanks defeated, might reemerge and continue their journey on the Grand Line by building their new ships from the same wood as Thousand Sunny.

One Piece chapter 1131 raw scans started with where the series left off in the previous chapter as Luffy was seen happy over entering Elbaph Island. Soon, Loki grew annoyed with his jumping and started asking him questions. He revealed that the area they were standing on was titled the Underworld.

Loki added that he was the strongest person on Elbaph Island and the tree he was bound to was titled the Treasure Tree Adam. Moreover, the chains he was tied to were made of Seastone due to which he couldn't move, which was why he was asking for Luffy's help.

The Treasure Tree Adam was mentioned before during the Post-Enies Lobby arc after the Straw Hat Pirates saved Nico Robin and gave a farewell to the Going Merry. With the Straw Hat Pirates now with no ship, Franky offered to build them a new ship with the money he stole from them.

He claimed that the new ship for the crew would be built from a special wood retrieved from the Adam Tree. Moreover, this wood was also the one used to build Oro Jackson, the Roger Pirates' ship. With all of this lore all but confirmed with chapter 1131, this could mean the return of Law and Kid.

After the Wano arc, the Worst Generation Trio went in different ways. Law was on his way towards the Lodestar Island but encountered Blackbeard Pirates. After a heated battle, Law was defeated and was saved only due to Bepo's Sulong form. On the other hand, Eustass Kid went straight to Elbaph Island and was defeated by the Red Hair Pirates.

Both of them had their ships destroyed after their defeat. With the confirmation of Treasure Tree Adam on Elbaph Island, Law and Kid might return to the series by building new ships out of the Treasure Tree Adam (as both of them drowned near Elbaph Island).

Analysis and final thoughts

With the confirmation of the existence of the Adam Tree on Elbaph Island, the return of two pirates from the Worst Generation might actually be possible. While the return of these pirates might seem trivial due to the confirmation of a tree, it does seem like the perfect way for them to make a return. So, for now, it is advised to see how the plotline unfolds and their fates play.
