In Chapter 1124, the Straw Hats begin celebrating with the giants. Analyzing this scene, we are able to see that everybody is ingesting from a mug, with out exception.
Two chapters later, in Chapter 1126, the social gathering continues. Sanji asks a large if the drink may be very robust. The large replies that it’s referred to as “Absinthe: The Inexperienced Fairy” and that in the event that they’re not cautious, it might probably trigger hallucinations.
Nevertheless, one thing very unusual occurs after the social gathering: the unique formation of the 5 Straw Hats—composed of Luffy, Zoro, Nami, Usopp, and Sanji—has disappeared from the ship. However why solely them?
I imagine the reply lies in Chapter 1126 itself. Within the panels the place they’re celebrating, the one Straw Hats nonetheless ingesting absinthe are Luffy, Zoro, Nami, Usopp, and Sanji. Oda made some extent of drawing every of them with the absinthe mug in hand twice on this chapter.
The others—Chopper, Robin, Franky, Brook, and Jinbe—usually are not ingesting absinthe on this chapter. Once more, Oda made some extent of drawing them twice, however this time to focus on that there’s NO mug of absinthe in his arms.
I believe that solely the unique 5 Straw Hats drank an excessive amount of absinthe at this social gathering to the purpose of inflicting hallucinations, which finally led them to the mysterious island the place Elbaf “begins.”
However wait… there’s nonetheless one thing unusual. Luffy is NOT ingesting absinthe in Chapter 1126. The one second Oda attracts Luffy with a mug in hand is in Chapter 1124, and proper after that, he occupies each arms with big meats. So, Luffy didn’t drink sufficient to hallucinate.
As we see in Chapter 1127, there are a collection of “continuity errors” in Oda’s drawings, like a sword that transforms into an axe, and so forth. However essentially the most curious “error” is Luffy utilizing a easy Gear 3 whereas calling it Gear 4. However the greatest thriller of this chapter is: the place is Luffy’s straw hat?
I imagine that is NOT LUFFY. Zoro has already seen this, as within the remaining panels he doesn’t take his eyes off Luffy, as if he’s suspicious of one thing. May this Luffy be Prince Loki?
Luffy may be very lucid and separated from everybody else.
