Chapter 881: Room of Waves


Jinbe: Enter the green room!!
Sunny is able to ride under the wave because of Jinbe’s steering.
Jinbe: We have a good ship and a good navigator!! If the helmsman is good, this ship will probably be invincible!!


Big Mom thinks that the Sunny has sunk




Nami talks to Luffy though the mirror
Luffy: Hurry up and come! Hurry up and get here, I’m sick of waiting for you!! (Luffy is being manipulated into saying that)


Katakuri: Do you have any last words?
luffy: i dont plan on dying here

Over on Reddit, user /miyabiz shared a theory with fellow One Piece fans that has got readers thinking Eiichiro Oda is about to change up Luffy’s game. The fan tracked down evidence of a new power class which Oda has been slowly sneaking into One Piece, and it has nothing to do with Haki or the Devil Fruits. Rather, it has to do with the elements.

As you can read here, the theorist proposes that the series will soon usher in the use of elemental powers that aren’t related to the Devil Fruits. Any hints of the class first appeared in the Fishman Island arc when Brook learned how to use ice with his attacks. From that point on, characters like Kinemon showed their elemental strength by using fire.

Most recently, it has been some of Big Mom’s gang that have made fans lean into the idea of an elemental power class. Zeus and Prometheus proved they could use elemental attacks, and they were even stunned when Brook was able to injure them by using his own ice attacks. And, to make things even more interesting, fans did learn from Jinbe that Haki has no effect on elemental attacks; If you are going to confront the assault, then you have to fight fire with fire.

There’s no telling when (or if) Oda will officially address the growing usage of elemental moves, but fans have their hopes. Some fans have suspected Wano will be the perfect place for Luffy to learn more about the class if Oda is forming a new division. After all, there are only so many ways One Piece can use Devil Fruit and Haki to awaken its fighters’ true potential. For anyone out there like Luffy who dreams of being the Pirate King, they will need a new power to differentiate themselves from the scores of other pirates out there. It seems like elemental powers may just be the ticket to doing that.
