One Piece Chapter 1134: The Mysterious Owl Library

Luffy sits cross-legged in a large fur cloak, hands extended in greeting. He says, "I REALLY APPRECIATE IT. WE'RE IN YOUR DEBT." A large "N!!" sound effect appears. Another voice calls out, "OLD MAN SAUL! I HEARD YOU HELPED ONE OF OUR FLEDGLINGS BACK IN THE DAY." Luffy responds, "ALLOW ME TO INTRODUCE MYSELF." Narration notes the upward palm gesture is an anarchic greeting using Edo-era yakuza talk. In the next panel a bearded giant with tattoos performs the same palm gesture and shouts, "DERESHI SHI SHI! I KNOW! THE FELLA'S WORLD FAMOUS!!" while Luffy stands small in the background. A voice asks, "THIS IS LUFFY." Another replies, "NOBODY." A third questions, "WHO THE HECK TAUGHT YOU THAT ROUTINEI" The giant's face fills the bottom panel as he yells, "ROBIN!!" and continues, "BUT HEY! LOOKS LIKE YOU FOUND THEM AFTER ALL..."

A young girl smiles warmly as she declares, "TRUE FRIENDS." She continues, "PEOPLE WILLING TO ACCEPT AND PROTECT SOMEONE LIKE ME..." In a vast landscape, a giant hand gently holds a small figure while voices remark, "I ACTUALLY FOUND THEM!" "JUST LIKE YOU SAID." "YEAH." A question mark floats nearby. The scene erupts with a massive giant roaring, "YOU KNOW WE'D DIE FOR YOU!!!" Smaller giants cheer wildly, one yelling "HE HE HE! YOU BETCHA!" while others react with shock and excitement. On the shore of Elbaf, an adult Nico Robin stands with Jaguar D. Saul and others. Saul apologizes, "AND SORRY FOR SPOOKING YA EARLIER!" Robin replies, "ME AND MY ASSISTANT, ANGE, WERE OUT HERE REHEARSING THAT BIT FOR A WHILE." Saul adds, "IT'S GOOD TO MEET ROBIN'S FRIENDS. SERIOUSLY, YOU'VE DONE GREAT MAKING IT ALL THE WAY TO ELBAF!"

Amid the giant trees and cheering crowd, a voice shouts "SHI SHI SHI!!! NO PROBLEM!!" while another says "PLEASE KEEP IT UP!" and "THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR PROTECTING ROBIN!!!" A former Marine giant exclaims, "I USED TO BE A MARINE, SO I KNOW HOW IMPRESSIVE IT IS TO BE RECOGNIZED AS AN EMPEROR!" Monkey D. Luffy stands proudly with arms crossed. A giant questions, "AND HOW THE HECK ARE YA FLYIN'I!" while Saul reacts with surprise. Elsewhere, a figure plummets yelling "HUHI!" as a young blonde declares, "I'M VEGAPUNK!!" and another voice answers, "IT'S ME!" with sound effects of impact. Saul stares in shock, asking "HMI HAVE WE METI"

Vegapunk explains the device, "WHY, IT'S ONE OF ME!!" while holding a large machine labeled "VEGA". A woman says, "HERE... ALLOW ME." and "YEAH, SORRY FOR THE TROUBLE. YOU SURE YOU WANT IT NOWI" Saul reacts with "II" as Vegapunk continues, "I USED IT TO VISIT THIS ISLAND 20 YEARS AGO!!" Another voice notes, "YEAH, BUT THIS CLONE'S DIFFERENT FROM US SATELLITES. IT'S A PERFECT COPY." Luffy yells in shock, "ANOTHER VEGAPUNKI!" Vegapunk adds, "STELLA COULDN'T EXACTLY LEAVE THE LAB FOR MONTHS AT A TIME WITHOUT THOSE GOVERNMENT DOGS NOTICING." Pointing at a new lab, Vegapunk declares, "THAT'S WHY I INTEND TO BUILD A NEW LAB RIGHT HERE! NOW THEN, LET'S STOP DILLY-DALLYING AND GET TO IT!!"

Saul reacts with confusion, "BUT I DON'T GET IT... WHY'RE YOU A WOMANI" Vegapunk replies, "IF YOU REALLY ARE VEGAPUNK, THEN I'M THRILLED TO SEE YA AFTER 20 LONG YEARS..." A small girl named Lilith waves, "...FOR YOU TO HELP PAPA, TOOI" while another says, "LILITH! WILL THAT MAKE IT POSSIBLE..." Vegapunk answers, "OH THATI THERE'S A PERFECTLY LOGICAL EXPLANATION. THAT'S THE PLAN, BONNEY!" An assistant named Ange introduces herself, "I'M ANGE, AN ASSISTANT TEACHER HERE. I APOLOGIZE FOR THE BELATED INTRODUCTION..." Saul calls out, "MY BAD, SAUL'S PERFORMANCE." A sign reads "LIBRARIAN (SAUL'S ASSISTANT) ANGE". Children play as Saul laughs, "YAHOOO!!" and Ange notes, "WE HAD THEM HOLD OFF, SO THEY WOULDN'T SPOIL MR. SAUL'S PERFORMANCE."

Gerd waves the Straw Hats onward, telling Robin, "I'M GONNA TAKE ROBIN... STRAIGHT TO THE LIBRARY!" She adds, "SHOW THEM ALL AROUND THE SCHOOL." Luffy beams excitedly, shouting, "I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE HOW ELBAF RAISES ITS MIGHTY WARRIORS!!!" Nami agrees, "THAT SOUNDS FUN!" while Brook offers, "LET ME GIVE YOU A TOUR OF THE PREMISES... WOOO!!" Usopp, Nami, and Chopper tag along, with Usopp noting, "SCHOOLS ALWAYS MAKE ME NOSTALGIC!" and Chopper exclaiming he wants to see the giant library books. Franky and others react with surprise at the massive tree. The group arrives at the enormous Walrus Folk School built into the cliffs and giant trees. Luffy yells, "THIS IS GONNA BE A BLAST!!" as they race toward the suspended walkways and buildings. A sign reads "THIS IS WALRUS FOLK SCHOOL." The Straw Hats run ahead shouting "WOHOOOO!!" while the giants watch, one declaring, "THESE GIANTS ARE JUST KIDS! BE THE MATURE ONE!" and another yelling, "NO, YOU IDIOT! SHOULD I CUT 'EMI" Luffy cheers, "MAN, THIS REALLY IS A COUNTRY OF GIANTS!"

The young giant girls shout angrily, "YOU KNOW WE'RE NOT ALLOWED TO HARM CUTE HUMANS! STOP THAT!!" A giant with goggles yells, "HEY! WATCH IT! YOU CAN'T JUST SAY WORDS LIKE 'BRAT' ANYMORE!" The children retort, "THEY'RE SO LAAAAAME!" and "SORRY..." while being told, "AND DON'T CALL THEM 'SHORTIES' EITHER!" The Straw Hats react with shock as the giants debate old-fashioned language. One giant exclaims, "YOU CAN'T SAY 'BASTARD' EITHER!" Another giant with a mustache roars, "FIGHTERSI NOW WAY! THAT'S DANGEROUS!" and questions, "AREN'T YOU MEANT TO BE WILD FIGHTERS WILLING TO PILLAGE AND BURN THE SEAS THEMSELVESI!" The kids look surprised while the adults argue about modern Elbaf warrior values.

The Straw Hats are startled as a giant woman looms over them. Luffy and others yell, "YOU'RE GONNA GET TOLD OFF!" and "YOU SHOULD PROBABLY MOVE..." The giantess named Ripley lifts Nami effortlessly, saying, "YOU'RE STANDING ON MISS RIPLEY..." Nami apologizes, "WE CLIMBED ONTO A GIANTI! OUR BAD!" Ripley reassures them, "AHA HA! NO WORRIES, YOU'RE FEATHER-LIGHT." She continues, "ANYWAY, I BET THIS IS A CULTURE SHOCK FOR YOU, BUT ALL THOSE LEGENDS OF FEARSOME GIANT PIRATES ARE FROM 100 YEARS AGO, Y'KNOW!" Close-up, Ripley adds, "THOSE ARE RELICS OF A BYGONE ERA NOW!" while the giants discuss old-fashioned words. A sign identifies her as "WALRUS FOLK SCHOOL (BIOLOGY TEACHER) RIPLEY." The group stares in surprise as she questions outdated aggression and war.

The Straw Hats stand before the giant school as a voice says, "DIDN'T YOU JUST SAY WORDS LIKE THAT WERE BEHIND THE TIMESI!" Another replies, "SORRY ABOUT OUR LOUD BRATS." Luffy is greeted warmly: "THERE YOU ARE, LUFFY!!! I HEARD ABOUT YOU FROM SAUL. WELCOME TO ELBAF, STRAW HATS." A giant with a helmet reacts in shock, "KING HAROLD...I!" Narration explains, "HE OFTEN CLASHED WITH ALL THE GRAYBEARDS OF THE VILLAGES. OUR BELOVED LATE KING HAROLD SAID THOSE WISE WORDS. 'SEEK TO TRADE WITH OTHER NATIONS, NOT WAGE WAR!'" A flashback shows a younger giant warrior and a smiling woman. The bespectacled giant notes, "HE WAS SLAIN BY HIS ACTUAL FLESH AND BLOOD. THAT CRAZY PRINCE... A VISIONARY OF A KING WHO WANTED TO REVOLUTIONIZE OUR COUNTRY. THE COUNTRY STILL REFUSES TO RECOGNIZE HIS CLAIM TO THE THRONE. THAT'S WHY ELBAF DOESN'T CURRENTLY HAVE A SOVEREIGN."

A curly-haired woman in ornate clothing smiles at the captain and asks, "HEY, MR. CAP'N, YOU LOOK DIFFERENT FROM THAT ALL WHITE LOOK YOU HAD BEFORE. WHAT'S THE DEALI" The captain replies with a cheerful "OKEY-DOKEY!" Nearby voices call out "YES, MAYA!!" and "EVERYONE, SHOW THESE GUYS AROUND SCHOOL!" as the history lesson concludes with "AND THAT BRINGS TODAY'S HISTORY LESSON TO A CLOSE!" The woman continues, "I WAS LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING YOU LIKE THAT." In the next panel her eyes sparkle with hearts as she exclaims "OOH. IT MADE MY HEART SKIP A BEAT ♡ I'M FROM THE LAST GENERATION OF ELBAF WARRIORS, AFTER ALL." She points excitedly, adding "YOU RESEMBLED A LEGENDARY WARRIOR FROM THE OLD FABLES OF ELBAF." The captain grins widely and answers "AH THATI THAT'S ME AT MY FREEST!" Below, a sweeping view of the towering tree village shows the group arriving as one figure explains "THAT'S HOW WE ENDED UP HERE. IT CAME UP WHEN WE WERE TRYING TO ESCAPE EGGHEAD ALIVE..." while another notes "OH, SO YOU'VE PRETTY MUCH ALREADY HEARD!"

Robin stands before the colossal tree library as narration declares "THIS IS THE WORLD'S GREATEST LIBRARY." A voice asks "DO YOU LIKE BOOKSI" and she replies with quiet awe "..." while another states "WE MADE SURE NOT TO MISS ANY OF THEM!" The giant owl library looms as a massive furry creature spreads its arms and booms "WELCOME TO THE MYSTERIOUS 'OWL LIBRARY'!" and "ALL THE BOOKS WE RESCUED FROM OHARA 22 YEARS AGO CAN BE FOUND HERE!" A scholar adds "ANY BOOK YOU BRING IN HERE, GETS GIGANTIFIED!" and "DERESHI SHI SHI SHI! FEAST YOUR EYES! ISN'T IT AMAZINGI!" The creature continues "ALL THESE BOOKS, GIANT SIZED! IT'S MARVELOUS, DON'TCHA THINKI!" while explaining the rescue from Ohara and the scholars' survival. Luffy and Robin react with shock as the library interior is revealed; a voice warns "NOW, ROBIN, BE CAREFUL. WATCH WHAT HAPPENING TO THAT BOOK YOU'RE HOLDING AS WE ENTER." Suddenly the ground shakes with a loud "ガチャッ!!" and "どどどん!!" as books tumble and characters cry "WHAA-AAAATI!" and "UWAAH!"

In a snowy, desolate landscape labeled "THE REALM OF THE DEAD," a long-haired figure with a scar remarks "...AH. I GUESS YOU'VE ALSO GOT NOTHING BUT FREE TIME, HUHI" while dramatic sound effects "ヒュオオオオ..." echo across the ice. The same figure continues "SO THAT MOMENT OF TRUE FEAR YOU MENTIONED BEFORE..." and questions the other speaker's motives. A horned character replies "NAH, I WELCOME A GOOD DISTURBANCE. I'M SORRY, AM I DISTURBING YOUI" and later "I HAVE NOTHING TO DO BUT KILL TIME." The long-haired figure presses "IS THAT STILL WHAT MOTIVATES YOUI" The horned one answers "BUT FOR ONE REASON OR ANOTHER... WE'VE BEEN FRIENDS FOR A LONG TIME, YET WE'VE NEVER ACTUALLY MET FACE TO FACE..." while admitting "DITTO, IT'S SO FRUSTRATING..." and "YES... EVEN NOW, WHEN I THINK ABOUT IT... I CAN'T STOP THE TREMBLING." A labeled "SNOW TRANSPONDER SNAIL (VOICE RECOGNITION AND COLD RESISTANT TYPE)" sits in the snow as the conversation unfolds.

A close-up reveals a wide-grinning man in a dark hat declaring "I'D HAVE TURNED THAT PLACE INTO A RUIN AND SLAUGHTERED THE LOT OF THEM!!" and "IF I WAS THERE IN YOUR STEAD..." The scene shifts to a chained, defeated figure on the ground as the standing man continues "YOU'VE GOTTA STAMP THEM OUT WITHOUT MERCY! ONLY A FOOL GIVES THEIR ENEMY A CHANCE TO GET PAYBACK!" and "FOR A NOBLE SOUL, YOU'RE TOOOOOO NAIVE, MOSA!" The defeated man mutters "...THANK YOU FOR YOUR COUNSEL." and "I... I DON'T WANT THAT." while the other notes "YOU USE HARSH WORDS, BUT THERE'S A STREAK OF KINDNESS BENEATH THE SURFACE. I'VE NOTICED THAT MORE AND MORE RECENTLY." with a small "えへ!" The defeated man protests "SHADDUP, MOSA... JUST YOU WAIT TILL I'M NO LONGER SHACKLED!!" and "KINDNESSI! NEVER SAY THAT TO ME AGAIN! THAT KIND OF CRAP WON'T FLY!!" as the other replies "PLEASE CAN YOU NOT SHOUT..." and "HEY! YOU'RE GIVING ME THE CREEPS! DON'T DO THAT AGAIN OR YOU'LL REGRET IT!" while impact sounds "ドゴォオオオ" and "ガシャアアア" ring out.

A massive swirling portal marked with a star-like symbol unleashes dark energy as "SHUUUUU" echoes. A close-up reveals a wide eye under a hat brim as "ドン!!" erupts. The scene explodes into chaos with a gigantic "ドン!!" impact shaking ornate towers and structures. In the upper right, Western Village appears with panicked residents shouting, "WE'RE JUST DRINKIN' WHILE WE WAIT!!" "HEY!! WASN'T THE FEAST DELAYEDI!" and "YOU'RE HAVING WAY TOO MUCH!!!" Another colossal "ドン!!" strikes a towering castle on a cliff, sending debris flying. The bottom panel shows frantic figures, including a wide-mouthed character, screaming "WAAH!!" and "KYAAAH!!" as "INTERLOPERS APPEAR IN A FLASH!!" The page ends with the One Piece logo and "...CH.1134 /END".
