One Piece's Newest Big Mystery Explained: Who is Louis Arnot?

In the latest One Piece arc, "Elbaph," the land of giants is finally being explored. The current chapter sees the Straw Hat Pirates reunited, paving the way for an uninterrupted exploration of this mysterious land. The upcoming chapters will likely delve into one of the important themes established thus far in this arc. However, the mention of Louis Arnot at the end of chapter #1132 has sparked new excitement and once again highlights Eiichiro Oda's skill in weaving subtle details into the story.

After the Straw Hat Pirates reunite and marvel at the true nature of Elbaph, the chapter concludes with a narration describing the land's secrets and beauty. It's revealed that the text is from Louis Arnot. Of course, One Piece fans are familiar with him. But what makes Arnot's poetic description of Elbaph even more fascinating is how closely it resembles his previous mentions in the series.

Louis Arnot Was First Mentioned Over a Thousand Chapters Ago in One Piece

The Explorer of Elbaph and Little Garden Was First Mentioned in Chapter #115 of One Piece

Louis Arnot is one of the most enigmatic figures in One Piece. So far, he has never appeared directly in the series. His name is mentioned repeatedly, but his identity remains a mystery. He first appears in chapter #115, titled "Little Garden of Adventure," when the Straw Hat Pirates arrive on their second island in the Grand Line. When Nami hears the name "Little Garden," she mentions reading about the island in a book called "Brag Men." This is where Louis Arnot is first mentioned as an explorer and author.

Brag Men is a book where famous explorers recount their adventures on the Grand Line. The book is known for its stories being quite exaggerated and boastful. They often sound so extraordinary that they're almost unbelievable. This is likely why the book is called "Brag Men."

One of these adventures is Louis Arnot's poetic description, where he names the island "Little Garden." He was inspired by the two giants, Dorry and Brogy, who had been fighting a duel against each other there for nearly a hundred years. Now, a thousand chapters later, Louis Arnot is mentioned again, in a similar context as before. This suggests that he plays a significant role in the One Piece story.

Louis Arnot's Mentions in One Piece Suggest a Significant Role for the Character

An Ominous Warning Signals Trouble for the Straw Hats in Elbaph

The similarities between Louis Arnot's initial introduction and his latest mention are too striking to dismiss as coincidence. The connection begins with the chapter titles, which reference him and his stories. Chapter #115, titled "Little Garden of Adventure," and the latest chapter, "Adventure in Elbaph," both emphasize his adventurous spirit. It's especially notable that Louis Arnot is exclusively mentioned in connection with giants and the islands associated with them. This suggests that he could be one of the most famous explorers and writers in Brag Men, with a particularly strong connection to the giants.

The fact that only Louis Arnot's stories from the book are quoted in the present narrative underscores his importance and the potential role he will play in the ongoing plot. Although Brag Men is known for its exaggerated tales, one of Louis Arnot's stories has already been confirmed as true. This raises exciting questions and concerns for the Straw Hat Pirates' latest adventure.

Chapter 1132 of One Piece ends with Louis Arnot's poetic description of the land of giants. In his writings, he primarily praises the beauty and wonders of Elbaph, but in the end, he warns adventurers against staying too long in this vast land. While he issued this warning, the chapter also showed the silhouette of a mysterious figure walking across the island. It's clear that this is the same person who was already waiting for the Straw Hats' arrival in chapter 1124.

It's almost impossible to determine the exact meaning of Louis Arnot's warning, but the presence of the mysterious figure alongside the warning suggests a possible connection. Rumor has it that this person could be "Golden Lion Shiki," but Louis' warning could also mean something entirely different. Regardless, it's becoming increasingly clear that Louis Arnot's story plays a central role in unraveling the mysteries surrounding the giants' knowledge in One Piece, and that his experiences could help the Straw Hat Pirates learn more about this mysterious land.
