The One Piece manga will soon begin the highly anticipated Elbaf arc.
As expected, the journey to the legendary Giant Kingdom was not easy. One Piece chapter 1126 revealed that two days after the Egghead incident, the Straw Hat crew was split up.
Luffy, Zoro, Sanji, Nami, Usopp, and Chopper are separated from everyone else. Nami is seen wearing a Viking outfit and wakes up in a room that looks like Lego. However, the reason behind this is still unknown.
Many fans believe it was caused by the Man Marked by Flames. To this day, the identity of this character remains unknown, but he is the possessor of the fourth Road Poneglyph, the final piece of the puzzle the Straw Hats need to solve in order to reach the final island of Laugh Tale.
Kid once said: “The 'Marked by Fire' or otherwise known as the man with the burn scar, is the final key to reaching Laugh Tale, where One Piece is kept.”
According to Laffitte – one of the 10 captains of the Blackbeard Pirates, the “Marked by Fire” was on a pitch-black ship. Those who sailed near him would be swallowed by giant whirlpools, so he might possess the power of a devil fruit.
The plot revelations of One Piece chapter 1126 have left fans with many questions, as many have hypothesized or speculated about this confusing series of events.
One fan theorized: “The separated Straw Hat crew members are exactly the ones with the X tattoos. Vivi will definitely meet the 6 Straw Hats in a few more chapters! Also, the whirlpool created by the 'Man Marked by Fire' is probably what separates the ships.”
“Maybe Sunny disappeared because the 'Marked by Fire Man' swept them into a mini tornado,” another said.
One excited fan guessed: “The six Straw Hats were taken away by the 'Man Marked by Fire'. And the room Nami woke up in was a room with a Poneglyph. The last Poneglyph.”
