The mysterious mural revealed at the end of One Piece chapter 1138 has sparked a wave of fan theories. Not only does it depict the history of the Second World during Joy Boy’s era, but this ancient artwork also seems to prophesy eight supreme allied forces who will stand alongside the Sun God Nika, Luffy, in the upcoming great battle. Let’s take a look at who they are!
1. The Samurai and Ninja of Wano
The mural clearly shows warriors wielding samurai swords and ninja techniques. Wano owes Luffy a deep debt after he toppled Kaido. The key to this force lies in uncovering why Oden was so determined to open Wano’s borders despite the risks it posed to the nation.
2. The Giant Army of Elbaf
The presence of giants on the ancient cliff is undeniable. Notably, the giant warrior wearing a horned helmet immediately brings to mind Loki. While the children who painted this mural long ago may have simply depicted the ancient giants, in the current era, this design perfectly matches the infamous prince of Elbaf.
3. The Lunarian Race and the Seraphim
The figure with black wings and blazing flames on its back represents the Lunarian race. Fire Fist Ace has great potential to become Luffy’s ally once he realizes that Luffy is the savior Joy Boy he has been waiting for.
Even more intriguing, the Seraphim clones (carrying Lunarian genes) like S-Snake might switch sides to support Luffy thanks to the “love charm” inherited from Boa Hancock.
4. The Ancient Weapon Poseidon, Shirahoshi
The painting of a crowned mermaid is the embodiment of the Ancient Weapon Poseidon. So far, Princess Shirahoshi has yet to fully awaken and master this destructive power.
The final battle will be the stage for her to realize her potential and lead the Sea Kings (symbolized by the whales in the mural) to aid the Straw Hats.
5. The Mink Tribe
The humanoid animal figures on the mural are undoubtedly the Mink tribe. With former rulers Inuarashi and Nekomamushi staying behind to protect Wano, the Mink tribe is now led by the young queen Carrot. Like Wano, the elephant-back kingdom of Zou will surely give their all to repay the Straw Hats’ kindness.
6. Emet Robot and Ancient Technology
A giant robot resembling Emet, Joy Boy’s companion from the Second World, is carved on the cliff. Although Emet’s energy was depleted after the Egghead arc, the question remains whether another ancient robot lies dormant. Alternatively, in this Third World era, technology might be represented by Vegapunk’s genius mind and Franky, the Straw Hats’ cyborg.
7. Alliance of Human Kingdoms
Alongside Wano, the human figures on the mural represent allied nations scattered across the Grand Line, including Alabasta, Dressrosa, and Fish-Man Island. This force, combined with the Straw Hats’ Grand Fleet, will form the largest army in history.
8. The God Enel and the Maxim Airship?
At the edge of the mural, between the First and Second Worlds, a flying ship hovers beneath the moon, resembling Enel’s Maxim warship. Could it be that after reading the history on the moon, the God Enel will return as an unexpected ally to Luffy?
