THIS MAKES TOO MUCH SENSE!!

Oda may have just given us our biggest clue about the mysterious first world of the sun god Nika. Ever since Biblo's introduction, fans have known there is more to this our librarian than meets the eye. And this has ramped up by the bucketloads since Biblo's urgent request that this chest, a secret tool and letter that has been passed down from the Al's grandfather's generation, must be opened now. So, what is it? admits this chaotic battle between Imu and his minions against the brave but struggling warriors of Elbath that is so important, so imperative to open now. What secret law does Biblo's grandfather have to share? And how is it relevant to what's happening currently at Elbath? Or better yet, how is it relevant to the sun god Nika?

It is September and I would really appreciate your help in getting to 100,000 subscribers. In return, I promise to give you more One Piece content because who doesn't love diving deep into our lore mystery. Okay, first up, we need to establish who Biblo is, why Biblo is, and how Biblo is. All of which remain shrouded in enigma. Obviously, for very specific purposes. Oda has intentionally made this owl librarian a very cryptic figure. We were introduced to the owl library in chapter 1134 where Biblo was present although he didn't say a hoot. But it was here we found out that books somehow turned giant size as it entered the library. It was soon explained in chapter 1135 that this magical ability was none other than the workings of Viblo, the chief librarian who is somehow turning the book's giant size, which Lilith theorized to be possible through the iku ekonomi or the grow fruit that can turn objects larger. Saul also told us that there is not much known about Biblo except for his book gigantification powers as well as the fact that he has been around in the library for centuries. just how many centuries? Well, let's think about it this way. If Saul hasn't been told much about Biblo except for his role in the library and the fact that he is very old, then that likely means that the rest of Albarafians don't know much about Biblo either. possibly the result of a mix of reasons like a the fact that Biblo can't seem to communicate with the giants or humans directly needing an intermediary like Chopper to translate and Biblo has been around for even longer than the giants presently alive today. And over the generations the Albafians have simply forgotten who Biblo is. In which case, Azure is currently the oldest giant at 408 years old. That means Biblo is at least as old as or more likely even older than Yuru. One could even say much much older than Yuru. So much so for the Albafians to now have little knowledge about this enigmatic owl. Because otherwise, if he was closer to Yuru's age, surely the Albafians would have greater recollection about Biblo. So dare I say, Biblo could even be 8 to 900 years old. Biblo could very well have been around since the void century. In which case, how long ago was Biblo's grandfather's generation? I'd likely say not just centuries ago, but millennia ago, to be exact. Perhaps three millennia ago, because we have to remember that within the same Elbath Ark, we came across an ancient laboratory that was built into the treasure tree at least 3,000 years ago. Something that the Elbafians, yet again, have very little knowledge of. And of course, this tracks very well with even more ancient lore that we have found out in this same Elbath arc, the history of the three worlds. Prior to the present day, prior to even the age of the void century, there was an even ancient era depicted as the first world in the Harley text. And just as we know that there was a great battle around 8 to 900 years ago between Joy Boy and Imu, which is likely the second world recorded in the Harley, there was a similarly giant war at the end of the first world involving another sun god. And if we piece all of this together with the mystery before us today, the mystery of the treasure chest, the tool and letter that has been around since Biblo's grandfather's age, even if we don't know exactly what this treasure is, I think we can fairly confidently say this has been left for us since the first world, which then can give us a greater clue as to what this tool is. Because when I first came across this panel in chapter 1193, I immediately thought that this treasure is likely from the void century. I mean, the treasure chest seems to be perfectly square. So, when someone suggested that inside there could be a pornoglyph, I considered that fairly plausible initially. In the same way that Joy Boy has left letters to the world in the form of the pornoglyphs, indestructible stone that can relay messages well into the future. Perhaps the letter that has been left behind since Biblo's grandfather's age has taken the form of a pornoglyph. And perhaps just as Joy Boy left Emmett with a hockey knot that could come of use in a moment of despair, there is another tool from Joy Boy he knew that would come in handy when Emmu resurfaced at Elbuff. Whereas now, if we take Biblo's likely age into account, this treasure is unlikely to be a pornoglyph or something left behind by Joy Boy at all. Instead, this could be something left behind by the original sun god Nika himself. After all, the sun god Nika is a woripped sacred important being within Elbath mythology. In which case, I love the idea that the tool left behind is something very closely related to Nika. And in which which case, I love the idea that the tool is an instrument or more specifically the literal drum of liberation. This of course goes back to the real life legend of Joy Boy which Oda seems to have been inspired by. A West Indian figure who traveled to the Caribbean with an early shipment of slaves from West Africa. This figure is known to be perpetually smiling, curing human suffering by tapping an irresistible rhythm on his drum. A beat that compels all who hears his music to sing or dance until the black cloak of despair is shaken off their shoulders. And I think that there is a really, really good chance that this drum is exactly the tool left behind. I mean, think about it. Biblo is insisting that this treasure chest be opened now during the battle and not after things have settled down as Robin suggested. That suggests that this is a tool that can and should be used right now, which just so happens to coincide with Luffy currently struggling to maintain his Nikico form. Whereas should the drum of liberation appear, it is very possible that this could be what sustains Luffy's gear fifth form, a form that Luffy called in chapter 1134 his free form, or in other words, his liberated form, the same form of the original sun god of the first world, who just happened to leave behind his drum at Elbath. Not to mention that it is in that chapter 1134 that we actually first see Biblo as well. Coincidence? I think not. And then in that case, this works perfectly in so many ways. The idea that the tool left behind, this tool that is going to come as saving grace in a moment of need for Elbar is not some typical warriors weapon. We know all too well that One Piece is not a traditional combat story. I mean, I'm sure I don't need to remind you of Luffy's ultimate form. His gear fifth nicer form takes on the aesthetics and abilities of cartoonish Looney Tuni powers. But then even more importantly, this could tie into Brook's backstory that we also found out within this Elbarth arc. The backstory that predates his Rumba pirates backstory, his backback backstory. We found out within this arc that Brooke originally came from a kingdom called Isperia, a land of instrument makers, famous for not only producing musical instruments, but also for its music itself. We know that the kingdom now no longer exists, having been invaded and destroyed by the world government 62 years ago, ostensibly because the kingdom failed to pay the heavenly tribute. Really, the true reason was because Princess Shuri, the supposed daughter of Queen Kandell and King Ruven, is actually the daughter of Kandell and God's knight Menare Guru. And the world government came to collect when they discovered Shuri had the gift of heterocchromia. And although this is the extent of the history told, I think there is a lot more to the story than Oda has told us. For one, why did the world government visit Esperia in the first place? And it wasn't just a visit by any of the celestial dragons either. This was a visit by the gods knights. What was a member of the gods knights doing in Esperia of all places? Seemingly a lowly west sea island because I can't help but be reminded of another event that we'd witnessed in another flashback shown within the Elbath arc. And by that I am referring to the happenings of Saint Figurland Garling at God Valley. Garling was supposedly on another mission when he happened to moore at this Westy Island, the God Valley. Similarly impregnating a local only to kill her whilst coming to collect his offspring. Sound familiar? That sounds exactly like what happened between Manmare and Kendelle. Although even more horrifically in Kendelle's case, because I don't think this relationship was consensual. But in the same way that Garling seemed to be on a mission nearby, was St. manmare guru on a special mission when he visited Esperia because perhaps Esperia 2 is a lot more special than we realize. And I say this because the name of this kingdom seems to have been inspired by the classical mythological term Hisperia. In ancient Greek and Roman mythology, Hisperia was the magical western lands, also known as the land of the setting sun. And so, ever since we found out about Esperia, I've often wondered whether Nika himself may have originally come from this island. I mean, there is just no way that Oda drew this glorious panel of Brooke in an uncanny Nika pose at first sunlight as a mere coincidence. And come on, the land of the setting sun. Perhaps a reference to the fact that Na was defeated. Whereas Luffy, a boy of East Blue origin, where the sun rises, will be the one to bring about a new dawn. And in the same way that the world government continues to persecute those who are affiliated with Joy Boy, such as the Buccaneers or the Davy D family for their ancestry to Davy Jones. Perhaps Esperia was targeted or at least kept a close eye on because of its links to Nicar. Why else has Oda chosen to include Brook's backstory in an arc that is already jam-packed with so much lore? The fact that Luffy instinctively knew that Brooke must join his crew even at first meeting straight off the bat. I think that this is all pointing to the fact that inside this treasure chest, one that has been kept hidden deep within Elbar for hundreds, nay thousands of years, is none other than the drum of liberation.
