At New York Comic Con 2025, the One Piece anime team gave fans a special treat by revealing the first official look at the Elbaf Arc.
The key visual shows the Straw Hat Pirates dressed in their Elbaf outfits, designed to match the giant-themed setting of the Land of the Giants. The colors for each character’s outfit, like Luffy’s red cape, Sanji in blue, and Zoro in green, were first hinted at in the manga’s Volume 111 cover released in March.
The new visual quickly spread across social media, with accounts like @pewpiece sharing it for fans around the world.

The episode adapts Chapter 1112 of the manga and highlights one of Luffy’s signature techniques during his battle with the Five Elders. These Elders have arrived on the island with the goal of stopping Luffy and capturing Vegapunk.
As the Straw Hats find their escape blocked, the Giant Pirates, led by Dorry and Brogy, make a surprise return to help them. Luffy and the Giants first met in the Little Garden Arc and had promised to reunite in Elbaf, which makes their arrival a long-awaited moment for fans.
While the Egghead Incident Arc is still wrapping up, the anime is moving into its final phase, with Episode 1147 marking the start of Vegapunk’s broadcast. The Elbaf Arc itself is expected to begin next year, and fans have been eagerly anticipating it ever since Luffy first encountered the Giants.
Elbaf is packed with mysteries, powerful enemies, and high-stakes battles, making it a pivotal part of the Final Saga.
The series continues to raise the excitement and expectations for what’s to come. One Piece is clearly setting the stage for some of the most intense and dramatic moments yet. Fans, what are you most excited to see in the Elbaf Arc? Share your thoughts in the comments.
