One Piece Elbaf Arc: Pre-Timeskip Humor Returns!

The world of One Piece is known for its action-packed adventures and iconic characters! But the series also has an amazing sense of humor!

Elbaf Arc: A Nostalgic Return

The Elbaf Arc is bringing back something that many fans have missed! The return of a special charm that was super popular in early parts of the series. The latest chapter, #1128, shows just how well this works, and is really refreshing after the intense events in the Egghead Arc.

Luffy, Zoro, Sanji, Nami, and Usopp, have reconnected for this big adventure, and now viewers will be thrilled at this fresh, engaging content.

Pre-Time Skip Humor

Long time fans might agree on one thing: The best part about One Piece before the timeskip was the humor. This was most seen in arcs like Thriller Bark and G-8. But things seemed to shift after a pivotal moment in One Piece- the Summit War and the death of Ace.

The series wasn't devoid of fun, but that distinctive humor seemed to change. Sanji's jokes, for instance, didn't quite hit the same way. The timeskip, while pivotal for the plot, contributed to a somewhat darker tone as the Straw Hats took on new adventures. The change impacted those iconic gags.

The new arc's chapter shows Nami smiling cheekily, just like in the older days! There are more than these moments of laughter for viewers as they got some amazing reactions!

  • Zoro, Sanji, and Nami did Luffy's poker face.
  • Nami pursing her lips like Luffy.

Sanji's funny antics also return, with better timing! These scenes with the Straw Hats are well-timed! There are lots of laughs in the Egghead Arc, but this new approach adds something extra.

And it shows the final battles may surprise audiences. The series’ creator, Eiichiro Oda, stated in 2022 he wants One Piece to stay fun!

Oda made a really cool comment that showed a perspective about how fans were looking for. They want something that isn't so grim. Many other manga go down that serious road, making things too dark!
