One Piece's latest silhouette character from Elbaph might be connected to Urouge
The latest events in One Piece have sparked new fan theories, especially about the mysterious silhouette in chapter 1124 during the Elbaph arc. While many believe this figure could be famous pirates like Scopper Gaban or Shiki, there’s an interesting link to Urouge’s crew from chapter 795.
In that chapter, Urouge and his crew were shown on a Sky Island, where one crewmate wearing a kasa hat and holding a bottle stood out. With Oda’s skill for foreshadowing, this detail might hint at Urouge’s role in Elbaph, connecting the giants, Sky Islands, and deeper mysteries of the One Piece world.
Revisiting One Piece chapter 795: Urouge and his crew witness Kaido jumping off a Sky Island
Chapter 795 opens with Fujitora gambling with dice, leaving the Straw Hats' fate to chance. The story progresses to the introduction of the Mink Tribe's homeland, Zou, where Jack’s faction from Kaido’s Beast Pirates wreaks havoc while hunting for a samurai.
This chapter draws interesting parallels between Zou and Elbaph, particularly through the presence of unique, larger-than-life animals. Fans have speculated that these parallels could hint at giant minks residing in Elbaph, which ties into the lore of giants and their long-standing connections to the series.
However, the biggest highlight of chapter 795 comes when we witness Kaido’s dramatic fall from a Sky Island, crashing near Eustass Kid’s hideout. Before Kaido’s fall, we briefly see Urouge and his crew resting on the same Sky Island.
It’s during this moment that one particular crew member stands out: a mysterious figure sitting on the far right, donning a kasa hat and holding a bottle. At the time, this crewmate did not receive much attention, but with the silhouette character now shown in Elbaph, their appearance feels oddly similar and significant.
The Kasa hat and bottle are near-identical to the traits of the silhouette in chapter 1124. While this may seem like a coincidence, One Piece creator Eiichiro Oda is known for his meticulous attention to detail, often planting clues far ahead of time. Given that Urouge’s crew has connections to the Sky Islands, it would not be far-fetched for them to also appear in Elbaph.
Urouge's possible role in Elbaph and the silhouette theory
The possibility that Urouge or his crew might be in Elbaph is exciting for several reasons. Urouge has remained one of the most enigmatic members of the Worst Generation, and his backstory, crew, and motivations have yet to be fully explored.
With Elbaph being teased as the next major arc, it would make sense for Oda to bring Urouge back into the spotlight. Many believed the silhouette figure to be someone like Scopper Gaban or Shiki due to their perceived connection to the old generation of pirates, but it might instead be a simple yet clever misdirection.
If this silhouette turns out to be Urouge's crewmate, it would perfectly align with Oda’s storytelling style. Additionally, Urouge's potential presence in Elbaph could be a major narrative link between the giants, the Sky Islands, and the ancient mysteries of the One Piece world. This would make Urouge and his crew pivotal in the unfolding story while giving fans more insight into the rarely-seen monk pirate.
Final thoughts
The silhouette character in Elbaph from chapter 1124 could be connected to Urouge’s crewmate, first seen in chapter 795. Oda’s clever storytelling might make Urouge and his crew key players, tying together the Sky Islands, Elbaph, and the giants’ ancient history in One Piece.
