ONE PIECE Vol.113 – The Threads of Fate Finally Converge in Elbaf
Long-standing mysteries begin to unravel all at once.
In the long-awaited Volume 113, the stage shifts to the land of giants — Elbaf.
From here, ONE PIECE steps into a new chapter that dives deep into the true history of the world.
The Story So Far: The Holy Knights Invade Elbaf
The giant kingdom of Elbaf is suddenly attacked by the mysterious organization under the World Government — the Holy Knights.
In an unforgivable act, they take the children of Elbaf hostage.
To save them, Luffy and the Straw Hat Pirates rise once again.
Meanwhile, Imu, the highest authority among the Celestial Dragons, manipulates the body of Gunkō, commander of the Holy Knights, using a strange power to control the giants of Elbaf.
Imu’s true goal? To use them as soldiers in an upcoming war.
But where, and against whom, will this war be fought? The new hints only deepen the mystery.
Prince Loki and the Invitation to Join the Crew
In Elbaf, Prince Loki — imprisoned as a historic criminal — encounters Luffy.
Without hesitation, Luffy shouts:
“Hey, Loki! Join my crew!”
This unexpected invitation marks a defining moment, hinting at new possibilities for the Straw Hat Pirates.
What decision will Loki make? It’s a turning point that could reshape the future of the story.
Loki’s past also draws attention — his connection to the Rocks Pirates, and a forbidden Devil Fruit said to be hidden within Elbaf’s legends.
Gunkō and Brook — A Tragic Bond Between Parent and Child
The female warrior Gunkō, leader of the Holy Knights, is revealed through subtle hints to be the biological daughter of Brook, the Straw Hat crew’s musician.
Separated by fate long ago, they now face each other as enemies.
Their reunion injects a heartbreaking human drama into the battlefield — one that sheds new light on Brook’s mysterious past.
The Rocks Pirates — Shadows of the Past Stir Once More
The legendary Rocks Pirates, who once shook the world, return to the spotlight.
Loki’s admiration for Rocks, combined with scenes showing Rocks’ lingering influence in Mary Geoise, suggests that the very balance between the World Government and the pirates is beginning to crumble.
What truly happened behind history’s curtain?
The Elbaf Arc seems poised to reveal the long-awaited answer.
