„Do not overstay your welcome here.” One Piece might get another time skip
One Piece may soon introduce a second time skip. A mysterious hint has appeared in the manga suggesting that the Straws may soon be surprised by what they find.
Warning! Below are spoilers from One Piece manga.
The Straw Hat Crew has finally arrived at Elbaph, which is supposed to be a big stop on their journey. The characters are only at the beginning of their adventure in this place, but they have already managed to complete one important point - Robin met her old friend. Their touching meeting, however, is not the only thing awaiting the Straw Hats on the island of giants.
There have been hits that in the near future there might be a second time skip in OP. When we look at the ending of chapter 1132 in the manga, we will find a subtle message from the explorer Louis Arnot, which may suggest that time in Elbaph flows slower than in other places.
Adventurers, do not regret your lost time here. However, if there is one message you take away from my account of the gigantic and mystical land of Elbaph, let it be this word of warning. Do not overstay your welcome here.
The key words here are "wasted time" and "don't overdo your welcome here." which may mean more than meets the eye. Exploring Elbaph may seem like a time-consuming challenge, given the island's size and uniqueness, which warrants a closer look at this place. We might get the impression that Arnott's words imply something more.
Arnot may be warning future adventurers not to spend too much time on Elbaph, as they could lose a lot more time off the island if it is true that time passes much slower there. This could imply that the Straw Hat Crew might be surprised by the situation they encounter after leaving Elbaph, as the pursuit of One Piece could be much further along at that point, leaving them behind.
A time skip at this point in the story seems highly likely, as it will allow players to calmly settle into the final showdown, which is fast approaching with the ending of One Piece announced by Eiichiro Oda.
If there is indeed a time skip, it will likely be shorter than the first one. At this stage in the story, the Straw Hats cannot afford to lose as much as two years, which could push them away from the race for One Piece, which is their goal.
