One Piece teases a major threat in latest spoilers, and it's not Loki

One Piece chapter 1132 is set to be released on December 2, 2024, but the brief spoilers for the chapter have already been released. Although the spoilers this time were pretty vague, the last statement in them revealed a silhouette walking through the woods of Elbaf. This had the fandom thinking, could this be a new threat or one from the past?

Before the Elbaph arc began, a silhouette was revealed calling out the Straw Hat Pirates to Elbaph Island. Most probably, this silhouette has now approached the Straw Hat Pirates. Moreover, this silhouette could also be one of the two pirates whose ships were sunk near Elbaph Island, and they might be emerging after regaining their senses.

One Piece: Exploring the new 'threat' that is approaching the Straw Hat Pirates

One Piece chapter 1132 spoilers revealed that the Straw Hat Pirates were now in the center of Elbaph Island. The spoilers were pretty brief, so no crucial information was revealed in them. The last part of the spoilers made an interesting reveal: a mysterious figure was walking through the forests of Elbaph Island.

Given Loki's location, this mysterious figure could be approaching Luffy. With the reveal of another silhouette, the fandom is questioning what the author might be planning. However, despite this, fans are still adamant about discovering who this new mysterious character might be.

In chapter 1124, after the Straw Hat Pirates escaped Egghead Island and were on their way to Elbaph Island, the series revealed a silhouette that was waiting for the Straw Hat Pirates. The mysterious character walking through the forests of Elbaph might be the same person, given how the silhouette was calling out Luffy and his crew members.

Even if this mysterious person isn't the one revealed in chapter 1124, fans might see the return of two of the fan-favorite members of the Worst Generation who had their ships wrecked before they could reach Elbaph Island.

The first could be Trafalgar D Water Law, whose ship was wrecked near Wiener Island by the Blackbeard Pirates. However, he escaped with the help of Bepo's Sulong form but had to abandon his crew, the Heart Pirates.

The second could be Eustass Kid, whose ship was wrecked at the bay of Elbaph Island by the Red Hair Pirates. He was drowned in the sea alongside his crew, the Kid Pirates. However, given the lore developed around his character, he might still be alive.

Unlike Law, who was away from Elbaph Island, the mysterious character walking through the forests might be Eustass Kid (given how he drowned not too far away from Elbaph Island). As he might be traumatized by his previous experience with Shanks, he could be trying his best to stay hidden from sight (due to which he was seen walking through the forest).

Analysis and final thoughts

Silhouettes have become pretty popular in One Piece, but their reveals remain one of the most questionable aspects of the series. Given how the silhouette of Loki and Kaido didn't match their original appearances, the latest reveal might also surprise the fandom.

However, take this article with a grain of salt and wait for more information through the full summary (or the official release).
