The latestOne Piecearc, Elbaph, takes a significant step toward exploring the long-anticipated land of the giants. The recent chapter sees the Straw Hats united, setting the stage for an uninterrupted dive into this mysterious land. The upcoming chapters of the manga are likely to focus on one of the key elements the arc has been building up to so far. However,the mention of Louis Arnot at the end of chapter #1132has sparked fresh excitement, once again highlighting Eiichiro Oda’s masterful ability to weave small details seamlessly into the lore.
After the Straw Hats reunite and marvel at the true nature of Elbaph, the chapter concludes with a narration capturing the mysteries and beauty of the land. At the end of this description, it is revealed that the description originates from Louis Arnot. TrueOne Piecefans may have already recognized the renowned explorer. What makes Louis Arnot’s poetic description of Elbaph even more captivating, however, lies in the striking contextual similarity between the character’s first mention and this latest revelation.
Louis Arnot Was First Mentioned Over a Thousand Chapters Ago inOne Piece
The Explorer of Elbaph and Little Garden Was First Mentioned in Chapter #115 ofOne Piece
Louis Arnot, the latest mysterious character inOne Piece, has never appeared directly in the series, with only his name being mentioned.He was first introduced in Chapter #115, titled “Little Garden of Adventure,“which depicts the Straw Hats arriving at their second island since entering the Grand Line. Upon hearing the name Little Garden, Nami reveals that she had read about the island in a book called Brag Men, where the explorer and author Louis Arnot was first mentioned.
Brag Men is a book filled with adventurous tales of the Grand Line, penned by famous explorers. The book gained a reputation for being exaggerated and boastful, as its stories often feature details so grandiose they seem almost unimaginable, likely the origin of its name. Among its accounts is a poetic description by Louis Arnot, who named the island Little Garden. He drew inspiration from the island’s inhabitants, two giants,Dorry and Brogy, who had been locked in a duel there for nearly a century. Now, a thousand chapters later, Louis Arnot is once again mentioned, in a similar context to how he was first presented, suggesting his significance inOne Piece’s lore.

The parallels between Louis Arnot’s initial introduction and his most recent mention are too significant to dismiss as mere coincidence. The connection begins with the titles of the chapters referencing him and his tales. Chapter #115, titled “Little Garden of Adventure,” and the latest chapter, “Adventure in Elbaph,” both highlight his adventurous spirit. Most notably,Louis Arnot is mentioned exclusively in the context of giants and the islands associated with them. This suggests he may be one of the most prominent explorers and authors from Brag Men, with a particularly profound connection to giants.

One Piece is about to hit a paywall at Crunchyroll, leaving streaming fans distraught and confused.
The fact that only Louis Arnot’s stories have been referenced from the book in the current narrative further underscores his importance and the potential impact he may have on the unfolding story. Although Brag Men is known for its reputation as a collection of exaggerations, one of Louis Arnot’s accounts has already been proven true, raising intriguing questions and concerns about the Straw Hats’ latest adventure.
One PieceChapter #1132concluded with Louis Arnot’s poetic description of the land of the giants. While his notes primarily praised the beauty and wonders of Elbaph, they ended witha warning to adventurers not to overstay in this vast land. As these cautionary words appeared, the chapter also depicted a silhouette of a mysterious figure walking across the island. It is clear from this silhouette that the individual is the same person shown awaiting the Straw Hats' arrival at Elbaph in Chapter #1124.
While it is nearly impossible to determine the exact meaning of Louis Arnot’s warning, the presence of the mysterious figure during its delivery suggests a potential connection. Though therumors surrounding how this person might be the “Golden Lion Shiki"could also be true and Louis' warning might indicate something else altogether. Whatever it may be, it is becoming apparently clear that Louis Arnot’s tale is central to unraveling the mysteries of the giants’ lore inOne Pieceand his involvement could take the form of aiding the Straw Hats through his tales of this enigmatic land.
