Emet Unleashes His Power
Emet Finally Revealed His Trump Card And It Was Joy Boy’s Haki
Quite easily, the most anticipated part of One Piece chapter 1122, and perhaps the entirety of the climax of Egghead Island, was Emet’s true power. Ever since Emet woke up, fans had been waiting to see what he would be able to do against the Five Elders. Emet was clearly injured by the Elders previously, but fans were made aware of the fact that he had a trump card. In One Piece chapter 1122, Emet sustained more damage from the Elders, but kept getting back up. This time around, Emet knew that he had to pull out his trump card and save the Strawhat Pirates.
I’ll seal my strongest Haki in you, Emet!
Before utilizing this power, fans got to see Emet converse with Luffy. He clearly mentioned that he knows that Luffy is not Joy Boy, but his appearance and his nature are so similar to Joy Boy that he couldn’t help but reminisce about that one day he has fond memories of. Clearly, Luffy realized that he was being mistaken for someone else.
However, he has no idea of who the Joy Boy person that Emet is talking about truly is. Emet then went on to apologize for not being able to make Joy Boy King. This is very important and tells the fans that Joy Boy wanted to be king of something In the past. Of course, it could not have been the King of the Pirates, because the concept of claiming the One Piece did not exist back then, at least as far as fans know.
After that conversation, Emet finally got a chance to showcase his true power. By tugging a rope inside of him and opening a knot, he was able to unleasha powerful blast of Conqueror’s Haki.This did not happen before he found out who Luffy truly was, and what his dream was. In order to protect Luffy and his dream and aid him in becoming King, something he couldn’t do for Joy Boy, Emet finally took a stand. He unleashed this powerful bolt of Haki and it was quite easily the strongest showing of Haki that fans have ever seen in One Piece. This bolt of Haki knocked out just about every Marine surrounding Egghead, and even the Five Elders could not sustain this blast. They were knocked out of their beastly forms, and most of them were sent back to Marijoa. This Haki blast paved the way for the escape of the Strawhat Pirates from Egghead, and it was truly glorious to see.
The Straw Hats Escape Egghead
With Emet Using Haki, The Straw Hats Finally Leave Egghead
The Straw Hat Pirates were seen jumping down from the Labophase and were finally able to set sail as well, and much of that was down to Emet, whose Haki got rid of Nusjuro. At the same time, the Giants, who were waiting for the Hats, set sail too. Finally,the Straw Hat Pirates are now out of Eggheadand sailing to safety. On Egghead, fans only saw the remains of the Giant, who was now collapsing, and in front of him, St Saturn, who will see to it that the Iron Giant is now dismantled for good.
The chapter concluded with fans finally getting their very first glimpse of Joy Boy, although it was in a silhouette. Fans got to see Emet’s last memories before he shut his eyes forever, and in this memory, Oda portrayed why Emet unleashed the powerful strike against the Elders. Back in the day,Emet was being protected by Joy Boyat all times. These two shared a very close bond with each other, but, Joy Boy acknowledged that he is going to die one day and won’t be able to protect Emet forever. As such, he sealed his most powerful Haki inside of him, only to be used when the time was right.
Whenever the Iron Giant needed help or wanted to protect someone, he would use it. At the end of the day, Emet gave his life to protectthe Straw Hat Piratesand with that, shut his eyes forever. This was quite an emphatic chapter of One Piece and the perfect way to end this exciting arc and pave the way for bigger things that are to come in the Elbaf Arc.
