As One Piece Chapter 1138 comes to an end, fans are left in awe at an ancient mural that may hold the key to the world’s biggest mysteries. This grand illustration, discovered in Elbaf inside the Adam Tree, depicts two major moments from the past: a time of prosperity and a time of war.
A Civilization That Touched the Stars
On the right side of the mural, a majestic civilization is seen thriving under a watchful king. The people seem to be offering glowing orbs—perhaps symbolic stars—toward the sky, seemingly in worship or communication with the moon. This could hint at a deep connection between this ancient civilization and the Lunarians, a race known for their celestial associations.
A massive, fire-breathing serpent coils through the scene, possibly representing an important figure, a guardian deity, or a dangerous force within this civilization. Could it be linked to Imu or even Uranus, one of the legendary Ancient Weapons? The king standing above it all seems to rule with wisdom, hinting at a time of harmony before everything fell apart.
The Great War of the Past
The left side of the mural tells a different story—one of destruction and chaos. A towering, horned, and winged demon looms large, holding a blazing sun in its grasp. The imagery is striking: is this entity a god, a tyrant, or something beyond human comprehension?
Facing this monstrous being is an army of diverse warriors—giants, Lunarians, and other powerful figures all standing together in battle. Among them, a familiar silhouette emerges. Is it Joy Boy? Nika? The leader of the rebellion? Whoever they are, they stand at the forefront, carrying the will of those who fight against oppression.
The contrast between the two sides of the mural suggests a tragic history—one where a once-prosperous civilization fell into ruin after a devastating war. This could be a direct depiction of the Void Century, an era erased from history, leaving behind only clues like this ancient artwork.
A Glimpse into the Future?
With the Straw Hat crew now uncovering pieces of the past, the question remains: will history repeat itself? If this mural shows a past war between freedom and tyranny, does it foreshadow a future battle where Luffy, like Joy Boy, will have to unite the world once again?
As fans eagerly await the next chapter, one thing is certain—the mysteries of One Piece are only just beginning to unravel.
