With the release of One Piece chapter 1122, the Straw Hat Pirates have finally managed to escape Egghead Island and also save themselves from the clutches of the Five Elders. Not only that, they have managed to save Bonney, Lilith, and potentially Kuma, giving hope to their fans. But it was not Luffy who helped his crew find a way out of Egghead.
The chapter revealed that a Haki attack from the most enigmatic character in One Piece helped the Straw Hat and the Giants. However, unlike Wano, this time it was not Shanks who stopped the impending doom. It was actually Joy Boy who sealed a large amount of his Haki in a knot within the Iron Giant, Emet.
This attack was so formidable that it transcended any Haki ability used by Shanks or Gol D. Roger, who are considered to be the epitome of the mysterious power in One Piece. Plus, it has opened the narrative for a whole new roster of questions that Eiichiro Oda will have to answer in the upcoming chapters.
The Strongest Haki User in One Piece Revealed
One Piece manga chapter 1122 starts with the reactions of people to Dr. Vegapunk’s final words in his message that is being broadcast to the whole world. As the scientist is about to make a big revelation about Joy Boy, the broadcast is finally stopped for good, and the panel moves towards the Iron Giant being destroyed by Topman Warcury.
On the other side, V. Nusjuro and Ju Peter are moving towards the Thousand Sunny and the Giant’s ship to stop them from sailing away. However, as they are about to attack the ships, the Iron Giant is seen conversing with Luffy and opening a knot that releases a Haki attack that has never been seen before in One Piece.
The power and range of the attack are so big that they are visible from far away, and not only does it knock the Five Elders out of their Yokai forms, but it also sends them back to Mary Geoise. On top of that, the presence of the Haki ability is felt by Imu himself, who is all the way in the Pangea Castle. This attack is stronger than any Haki ability used by heavy hitters like Shanks or Gol D. Roger.
The Strongest Haki Attack Raises A Lot of Questions
The might of Joy Boy’s haki ability stored within the Iron Giant for so long has shaken the entire One Piece world. But it has also introduced a lot of mysteries that Eiichiro Oda needs to answer as soon as possible. The first mystery is: if Luffy is the embodiment of Joy Boy, will he be able to reach the same level of power in terms of Haki?
As of now, Luffy has all three kinds of Haki and their advanced versions, but Joy Boy’s unparalleled attack makes fans question the extent to which this mysterious ability goes. Additionally, if Luffy is able to reach the level of Joy Boy in terms of Haki, will he be enough to challenge the upcoming enemies? This is because, despite having such great power, evidently, Joy Boy lost the war.
And the final question is: how is Joy Boy able to store a Haki attack that has remained equally powerful even after 800 years? Although the concept of storing Haki within objects is not new to One Piece, but the power level and the timeline make it even more difficult for fans to understand it all.
