Analysis of Chapter 1138 - A Thread 🧵

The first part of the mural most likely shows the Void Century War where Joy Boy's faction faced Imu and the Founder Kings.

The second part most likely shows Nika's war against the Earth God and the Great Serpent of Fire.

In the first world, humans were greedy and touched the forbidden flame (Eternal Flame). They exploited the flame and enslaved people in factories, who prayed for the Sun God.

The Earth God was enraged and they destroyed the world with the Serpent of Fire.

The Great Serpent of Fire was then soaked in blood. The Serpent became the Red Line that sank Pangaea.

Pangaea (One Piece) was split it into multiple continents and the All Blue was split into four oceans. "They would not meet again."

In the second world, the Forest God created Devils (Devil Fruits) (credit to @WorstGenHQ).

However, this evoked the wrath of the Sea God.

The Earth God fought in the first and second wars. The Earth God is most likely Imu. Imu adopts the same pose than Greek Goddess of Planet Earth Gaea.

Fittingly, Pangaea is also derived from Gaea.

The Earth God "Imu"
- Earth is at the center of the 5 Elder Planets
- In Genesis 1:2, Earth was void and without form
- Mu (ムー) means void in Japanese
- Mu is at the center of the Gorosei
- Garling, the Moon, is now orbiting around Earth

The third world evokes how the Sun God shall rise again, guiding the world to its final act and a new dawn will break.

Luffy will complete the cycle of the Sun and end the Sun God's struggle.

Roger was probably aware that the Sun God would rise again, explaining why he laughed and why he knew that he was too early.

The Harley's text is a poem that is very similar to the Voluspa, the best known poem of the Poetic Edda.

The Voluspa tells the story from Norse Mythology of the creation of the world, its coming end, and its subsequent rebirth.

Shamrock and Shanks are confirmed to be Twins, they only differ by their lives. One is allied to Imu (Earth God), the other is allied to Luffy (Sun God).

Shamrock and Shanks embody the eternal struggle between the Earth God and the Sun God.

Shamrock says Shanks returned to the Holy Land once, but he preferred to live in this filthy world.

Shanks may have returned to Marie Geoise after learning about his family from Roger.

Shanks' sword is the Gryphon (Griffin), while Shamrock's sword is the Cerberus.

Shanks' sword, Gryphon, symbolizes the divine, nobility, and protection. Shanks did a Divine Departure.

Shamrock's sword, the Cerberus, embodies destruction and the underworld. - Shamrock did a Demonic Arrival.

Shamrock's sword may have been grated power by Imu.

Black clouds surround the Cerberus neck, like with the Gorosei. Cerberus is also mentioned without "Devil Fruit", like for the Gorosei.

- A Shamrock is a Three Leaf Clover
- A Cerberus is a Three-Headed Dog

Shamrock's sword has the Cerberus Fruit, a three-headed dog that guards the gates of the underworld.

Zoro has three swords and wants to be the King of Hell.

Finally, the mysterious man of Elbaph is revealed from the back and we can see that he looks exactly like the man who spoke to Crocus.

This man could be Scopper Gaban as Roger's crew is discussed on the same panel.

This may explain why Gaban fights with axes. He may have learned this from the Viking Warriors in Elbaph or aspired to fight like them.

There is still a chance that the mysterious man is Shiki.

The kasa hat and the clothes are part of the same Japanese attire that Shiki was wearing in God Valley.

Thank you for reading, I hope you enjoyed this weekly analysis 😄 What did you think of the chapter?
