One Piece's Elbaph Arc may reveal Nami as a Celestial Dragon and more
The mysteries in the Elbaph arc of One Piece keep piling up given how many silhouettes this arc alone has teased. However, the fans are still adamant about the reveal of mysteries and the biggest one of these mysteries might be the canonization of the villain of the Strong World anime film. Moreover, the reveal of Shiki as a canon villain might also involve a Straw Hat Pirate.
Nami is a target of the fandom's theories given how the fans speculate that she might be a Celestial Dragon. However, she might also be a giant given her relationship with Shiki from the anime film. Shiki's speculated presence on Elbaph Island might also reveal why Louis Arnot didn't want humans to linger on the island too long.

One Piece: Exploring the link between Nami and Shiki that might get unveiled on Elbaph
One Piece chapter 1132 saw the Straw Hat Pirates reunite on Elbaph Island after they were separated, just like during the Egghead arc. Their reunion was backed by the narration from Louis Arnot, who explained the beauty and aesthetic nature of the island. However, he ended his talk by stating that humans shouldn't linger on the island for too long.
Louis Arnot's quotes have proved crucial, as he might be a true explorer who ventured into the Grand Line before any pirate. Surprisingly, he was also the one who named Little Garden its name. So, what could his recent quote signify, given the current development in the series? All of this might be related to Shiki the Lion and the movie where he was introduced, the Strong World anime film.
In One Piece: Strong World anime film, Shiki's ultimate goal was to raid the world with gigantified animals and show everyone his terror. However, the drug he used to amplify the growth of these animals, the SIQ formula, proved fatal. In chapter 1132, a silhouette was teased, which proved that Shiki might be at Elbaph Island.
However, a bigger detail confirmed through this might be that the thing Louis Arnot warned humans about Elbaph might also be from the threat of becoming a giant. Shiki invaded Elbaph after the Strong World and since then, he has been living on the outskirts of the island, which could be why he is still the height of a human.
The last reveal, which might be the most shocking but expected for the theorists, is Nami's revelation as a goddess. It all goes back to the mysterious origins of the navigator of the Straw Hat Pirates when Bellemere adopted her (and Nojiko) from the Oykot Kingdom.
This became the reason for her being the daughter of a Celestial Dragon and her relationship with Shiki might make her a giant. This might make her an Aesir Goddess, who can change their body size from a human to a giant. This might explain how she is currently the size of a human and could become a giant once she learns about her abilities.
Analysis and Final Thoughts
This theory is a lot to take in given how it is hardly supported by a little bit of evidence. However, there might be some hints that might relate to the main storyline, especially the ones that relate Nami to the Aesir Goddess.
Sanji has mostly recognized Nami as a goddess. Moreover, her having the powers of thunder (Zeus) in her hands might also hint that she might be a goddess. However, please take this theory with a huge grain of salt, given that it is based on speculations, not canon information.
