The Elbaf arc is set to be a game-changer, with the Straw Hat Grand Fleet’s involvement being crucial to shape the series’ future trajectory.

One Piece is about to enter one of the most revolutionary chapters of the manga following the events that are unfolding in Elbaf. First introduced during the Little Garden Arc, both Luffy and Usopp had wished to reach this Island of Giants. According to speculations, this arc is set to question the Straw Hat crew, what is the real definition of courage, and what really makes a true brave warrior.

Moreover, the Straw Hat Grand Fleet’s involvement in this arc would be very crucial, which will most likely decide the series’ future narrative. The setting has already been laid for a dramatic entrance by the Straw Hat Grand Fleet to deliver their collective might and strength. This union of giants, to be crafted by Monkey D. Luffy and his crew, promises a great storm to the audience.

The Seven Strongest Crews that make up this mighty alliance known as the Straw Hat Grand Fleet would participate in the latest Elbaf arc with all its might. Some of these formidable captains who govern over their squads are Cavendish, Bartolomeo, Sai, Ideo, Leo, Hajrudin, and Orlumbus. They have proven themselves in real battles already, one such example was when it assisted the Straw Hat Pirates during their war against Doflamingo. With all types of diverse strengths and unique abilities, the Straw Hat Grand Fleet is apt to make a huge appearance in the upcoming chapters.

As the Elbaf arc is on the horizon, it’s fair to assume that the tension between Hajrudin and Loki will rise again to bring about a sharp conflict. Since Luffy already is at Elbaf and sided with Hajrudin, the Straw Hat Pirates would surely ask for the Straw Hat Grand Fleet to back up Hajrudin’s justice battle. This alliance, with Loki’s quick-witted nature and Hajrudin’s relentless resolve, may turn out to be a decisive turn of events to reclaim the island of Elbaf for its rightful leader and change the course of the island. It will be a real electric collision as the forces converge.

Straw Hat Grand Fleet’s Involvement ͏Would Undoubtedly be Huge in The Elbaf Arc

The Straw Hat Grand Fleet already has a whooping number of 5,650 members. This is such an enormous size and strength that it can almost be unbeatable even within the Elbaf borders. Its representatives had already proven themselves as they defeated upper-level executives from the Donquixote Pirates. This kind of excellent talent and the sheer number of members put the Straw Hat Grand Fleet in a great position to play a crucial role in the upcoming war.

Given Hajrudin’s personal connection with Elbaf and his differences with Loki, Luffy’s entry would flip everything for him. But if the Grand Fleet gets drawn into it, that would definitively tip the balance in favor of one side as a sign of showcasing Luffy’s true power.

As the series advances, the Elbaf arc might just be the golden opportunity for the Straw Hat Grand Fleet to cement itself in the larger narrative. The scales will surely topple as the sheer power of the Grand Fleet is realized. It would be impossible to ignore the presence of the Grand Fleet, and they will finally get the chance to shine and solidify their identity as a key alliance, which might reset the whole dynamics of the One Piece universe.
