Eiichiro Oda’s master class always leaves the fans speechless.

SUMMARY

One Piece creator Eiichiro Oda might have been inspired by an upcoming real life astronomical event and use that concept during the climax of the Egghead Island arc.
Jupiter and Mercury will be absent from the astronomical event, and since these planets matches two of the Gorosei, it might mean that they will meet their end on Egghead.
Few days later, there will be a solar eclipse, which signifies Luffy not being harmed since he is the Sun God Nika.

Every anime fan knows that Eiichiro Oda is a genius. He understands the importance of catching the audience’s attention, and then dropping the biggest surprise to make them jump out of their seats. He never leaves loose ends and always finds a way to connect the missing dots. With the Egghead Island arc coming to its end, the fans might be in for another master class by the mangaka.

Currently, Monkey D. Luffy is busy fighting a tag team of Saint Jaygarcia Saturn and Admiral Kizaru, while Roronoa Zoro is fighting Rob Lucci. The rest of his crew members are trying to find an escape route on their captain’s command. Jaygarcia Saturn is going to summon the rest of the Elders, and Eiichiro Oda gave a subtle hint after getting inspired by a real-life event.

Eiichiro Oda Is Looking To Blow Everyone’s Mind

The latest One Piece chapter revealed that Monkey D. Luffy is dominating the tag team of Admiral Kizaru and Saint Jaygarcia Saturn. While the former is on the verge of getting knocked out, the latter, due to his regenerative abilities, is barely showing weakness despite getting hit by multiple punches. On top of that, Saturn is likely to summon the other Elders to aid him in his fight and finish everyone on that island, especially Dr Vegapunk.

While the fans were worried, thinking it would be a massive task for Luffy to take on all the Five Elders, Eiichiro Oda took a real-life reference and hinted at the result of the battle. In the series, on April 4, 2024, Venus, Mars, Saturn, and Neptune will align on the Earth’s side and will be visible from Earth. Coincidently, these three names match three of the Five Elders – Ethanbaron V. Nusjuro, Saint Marcus Mars, and Saint Jaygarcia Saturn.
The Gorosei
Four days later, on April 8, 2024, there will be a solar eclipse. The solar eclipse signifies Monkey D. Luffy since he is Sun God Nika. Earth is considered to be Imu-sama. It shows that Luffy will be safe from Imu since the solar eclipse signifies the Moon coming in between the Sun and the Earth. According to this logic, two of the Gorosei, Topman Warcury, and Shepherd Ju Peter might die on Egghead Island, considering their name were missing from the astronomical event.

Egghead Island Arc Is At Its Climax

The Gorosei are Imu-sama’s personal guards and have monstrous abilities. If two of them meet their end at Egghead Island, it will be the most interesting turn of events and greatly weaken the World Government, especially the Gorosei. Moreover, Imu-sama will have fewer people under his command. The Gorosei might be linked through some power, and two of them dying would greatly harm that link.
Saturn Summoning The Rest of the Five Elders
The solar eclipse signifies Luffy’s safety, but it also means that the Moon will come between the Sun and the Earth. In One Piece, the Moon is often related to Blackbeard, so there is a chance that he might make an appearance on the Egghead Island. Eiichiro Oda has found another breakthrough in his magnum opus, and it places him above the other mangaka.

His focus, dedication, and sheer will to bring out the best makes him a genius mangaka. Even though it is just a theory, considering his past, he is the only one capable of pulling something so epic. The next few chapters will decide whether the fan theory is true.

One Piece Creator Ends Nearly Decade-Long Streak With Stunning New Artwork

Nearly a decade on, Eiichiro Oda delivers a stunning double-page spread worthy of a monumental reveal in One Piece Chapter 1110.

The Five Elders in their human forms in One Piece.

One Piece Chapter 1110 includes a monumental development in the "Egghead" story arc -- and an impressive two-page art spread by series creator Eiichiro Oda to go with it.

The latest chapter of the One Piece manga is now available in English on the Viz Media app, as well as the Manga Plus app. As shared by social media X (formerly Twitter) user @/OnePieceDefend, the latest installment in the "Egghead" storyline features a shocking revelation regarding The Five Elders, also known as the Gorosei. In a rare double-spread page, the power-hungry seniors reveal their true monstrous form to Monkey D. Luffy.

To illustrate how rare this illustrated technique has been used in One Piece, the last time Oda drew a double spread was nine years ago in Chapter 800 of the "Dressrosa" story arc (Sept. 19, 2015).

The "Singer of the New Era" will soon be available as a highly-detailed model in this stunning Uta figure based on the One Piece Film: Red anime film.

One Piece Chapter 1110 Reveals The Five Elders' Beast-Awakened Forms to Luffy

The beast-awakened forms of The Five Elders appear to be based on the Japanese folklore of spiritual creatures known as yokai. Saint Jaygarcia Saturn transforms into the spider-like bull creature known as the Gyuki (which also goes by the name of Ushi-oni).

Saint Marcus Mars can transform into an "eerie bird" called the Itsumade. Saint Topman Warcury becomes a Houki, a gigantic boar with four tusks. Saint Ethanbaron V. Nusjuro is a skeleton horse called the Bakotsu. Last but not least, just in time for the release of Dune: Part Two, Shepherd Ju Peter can transform into a giant sandworm.

While it would be easy to assume that these supernatural transformations are the work of the Zoan-type Devil Fruit, the chapter doesn't confirm their suggested use by The Five Elders. That doesn't necessarily rule out The Five Elders possessing Zoan abilities, but it does open up the possibility that their yokai transformations are the work of something greater and far more dangerous than Gear 5 Luffy -- a fitting declaration of power for the hierarchy that's currently being presented as the final baddies of the One Piece series.

The life and times of Straw Hat chef Sanji are explored in the upcoming manga release of One Piece: Shokugeki no Sanji by the creators of Food Wars!.

One Piece, Jujutsu Kaisen and My Hero Academia Are Approaching Their End Games

The unveiling of The Five Elders' monster forms is an exciting but also painful reminder that the One Piece manga is sailing toward its final destination. Interestingly, One Piece isn't the only big Shonen Jump series preparing for its endgame. Jujutsu Kaisen, which recently celebrated its sixth anniversary, is expected to end in 2024. The recent chapter releases of My Hero Academia also indicate that the superhero series is reaching its inevitable conclusion.

Lionel Messi had a goal and an assist in his return to Inter Miami’s lineup Wednesday night, leading the way in a 3-1 win over Nashville in the second leg of the CONCACAF Champions Cup round-of-16 matchup.

Messi found his former Barcelona teammate, Luis Suárez , in stride for a goal that opened scoring in the eighth minute. The eight-time Ballon d’Or winner then added a first-half goal to give Inter Miami an early 2-0 lead.

Inter Miami vs Nashville SC, CONCACAF Champions Cup: Final score and highlights from Round of 16 second leg

The Argentine superstar checked out of the match in the 50th minute. It wasn’t immediately clear why Messi subbed out — he had rested in Sunday’s 3-2 loss to Montreal, which is the only game he has missed this season.

Messi was replaced by Robert Taylor, who scored in the 63rd minute to give Inter Miami a 3-0 lead.

Inter Miami advanced to the CONCACAF Champions Cup quarterfinals with the win and 5-3 advantage in aggregate goals in the total-goals series.

The teams had tied in the first leg in Nashville last Thursday. Messi scored in regulation, and Suárez scored the tying goal in stoppage time to rally Miami to a 2-2 draw. Messi went down late in regulation of that game when Nashville defender Lukas Macnaughton stepped on his left calf. A trainer checked on Messi, who remained on the pitch.

He had been listed as questionable with a shin injury entering Sunday’s game against Montreal, but head coach Gerardo “Tata” Martino said after that match that the plan was always to rest Messi for that game.

The rest seemed to bode well for Messi’s performance Wednesday, as he wasted no time making an impact.

He earned a free kick after a foul by Nashville’s Aníbal Godoy just four minutes into the match, but had his attempt blocked. The 36-year-old seized his opportunity a few minutes later, using his impressive vision to fit a pass to a streaking Suárez, who sent the ball into bottom right corner of the net.

Messi then used a pass from Diego Gómez to score from inside the penalty area as fans started chanting his name. Taylor later got on the board with a header off an assist by Suárez.

Nashville had a chance late in the second half when Hany Mukhtar got past Miami’s defense and sent a shot into the back of the net. Officials overturned the goal after a lengthy review, ruling that Mukhtar was offside.

Miami goalkeeper Drake Callender, coming off a disappointing performance against Montreal, had two saves before giving up a goal to Sam Surridge in stoppage time.

Wednesday was the fourth time that head coach Gary Smith’s Nashville club has faced Messi since he joined Inter Miami and MLS last summer.

They’d played to three draws before Wednesday — the first of which Miami won 10-9 on penalty kicks in the 2023 Leagues Cup final. Messi scored early in regulation and converted the first shot in penalty kicks as Miami won its first trophy.

“It’s a never-ending conundrum,” Smith said ahead of Wednesday’s match. “You try and set up a group to try and limit what he’s able to do. He’s proved throughout his career at the very best levels that no matter how good you are defensively, or how well-organized, the caliber of the individual will always find a way.”
