The recently released chapter #1113 of One Piece’s manga finally unveils why most of the series’s world is covered in so much water.
The world of One Piece boasts a truly unique topography, with islands not only dotting the ocean’s surface but also suspended in the sky and hidden beneath the waves. This diverse landscape is home to an array of races, from the Fishmen dwelling beneath the sea to the Minks inhabiting Zou, a living land. Despite this rich world-building, the origin of the series’ world and how it came to be in its current state was a tantalizing mystery for fans. Now, One Piece’s latest chapter finally gives fans a glimpse at why One Piece’s world is the way it is.
In chapter #1113, “Stalemate“, Dr. Vegapunk finally delivers his message with a bombshell reveal stating that the world of One Piece will sink into the ocean in the future. However, this revelation isn’t entirely surprising, given the observed rise in water levels across various parts of the One Piece world. In chapter #1089, the catastrophic destruction of the Lulusia Kingdom resulted in a global-scale earthquake. One of the significant consequences of this devastation was the sea level rising by a staggering meter.
This resulted in many islands being flooded, forcing citizens to flee their homes. While it is a disaster, Vegapunk’s statement in the latest chapter hints that it is only a sample of what will come. Vegapunk’s statement, coupled with the catastrophic events witnessed in Lulusia, suggests a deeper connection to the existence of a mysterious Ancient Weapon in the world of One Piece. This weapon’s potential activation or involvement may hold the key to understanding not only the current state of the world but also its very origins.
The Ancient Weapon, Uranus, Explains One Piece’s World
The Weapon Imu Used on Lulusia is Most Likely Uranus Powered By Mother Flame
The sea level’s rise by a meter was caused due to Lulusia being wiped out of the map. Though undisclosed, the ability to annihilate an entire island implies the use of an ancient weapon. Given Uranus is potentially in government possession, it’s plausible that Imu utilized it to eradicate Lulusia. However, evidence scattered throughout One Piece suggests that the use of Uranus to wipe out Lulusia may not be an isolated incident, hinting at its broader historical utilization.
it’s likely that Imu or their allies deployed Uranus to halt the Ancient Kingdom and establish the World Government, reshaping history in their favor
After Lulusia was allegedly destroyed by Uranus, it created a hole in the sea reminiscent of events shown during the Enies Lobby arc. This revelation confirms Uranus’s historical usage, potentially during One Piece’s mysterious Void Century, shaping the current world. Given everything fans know, it’s likely that Imu or their allies deployed Uranus to halt the Ancient Kingdom and establish the World Government, reshaping history in their favor.
Why Imu and the Five Elders Are So Intent On Sinking The World?
The Straw Hats’ Actions Have Made the Government Afraid, as They Perceive the Potential for a New Rebellion
The emergence of Nika, the Sun God at Wano, coupled with the small rebellion during Reverie, likely has Imu and the Five Elders fearing potential rebellion. They may seek a cleansing of the world to maintain their dominance, as hinted in chapter #908 of One Piece. Uranus, the ancient Weapon, could play a pivotal role in quelling rebellions, akin to its alleged involvement in the destruction of Lulusia Kingdom.
The unfolding events suggest that the World Government is seeking a transformative shift, where they stand at the pinnacle of power, shaping the world according to their desires once again. This echoes a historical event during the Void Century where the World Government likely emerged victorious, reshaping history in their favor. As the story progresses, it’s plausible that One Piece will delve deeper into this narrative, possibly culminating in a final arc where Luffy leads a rebellion akin to Joyboy’s defiance during the Void Century.
