one piece Chapter 1135 introduced fans to a lot of interesting developments in Elbaf's story, and quite easily one of the most interesting is the introduction of a new Devil Fruit. Of course, devil fruits are just as important as power. one piece As always, it's clear that these abilities will be huge in the story. Fans have been waiting for a new Devil Fruit ability to be revealed in Elbaf, and finally Oda has already shown off his first ability.

This ability was introduced inside the Owl Library, and is a very powerful Paramecia-type Devil Fruit that actually has many uses if Oda integrates it properly into the story.

Oda Reveals New Devil Fruit – Iku Iku no Mi

• Type: Paramecia Devil Fruit

• User: Biblo The Owl

in one piece In episode 1135, Oda introduced a new Devil Fruit user to fans, and that Devil Fruit user was none other than Owl Library Director Biblo. As fans know, the Owl Library was created by order of King Harald about 20 years ago. However, Biblo existed in Elbaf long before that. According to Saul, Biblo has been around for hundreds of years, which means the bird has also had this ability for quite some time. Saul mentions that Byblo has the ability to enlarge objects. In response to this, Vegapunk responded that the ability is most likely tbr Ikuikunomi, which can make even inorganic objects gigantic. This ability is perfect for countries like Elbaf where everything is absolutely huge. Ikuikunomi naturally belongs to the Paramecia class, and while it may seem like a rather weak Devil Fruit, it actually has a lot of potential, especially since it is wielded by an owl.

Here at Biblo, we can make every book that comes into our library giant! – Saul

Ikuikunomi is the devil fruit that made Robin's book huge in the previous chapter. This is why today's Giants are educated and taught the science practiced at O'Hara of old, and why this country is transitioning into a more peaceful nation.

As of now, fans have only seen Iku Iku no Mi utilized in books. According to Saul, the owl specifically chooses to enlarge the books in the owl library, but that doesn't mean this ability only applies to books. As Vegapunk notes, this power allows any inorganic object to become gigantic, meaning its true potential remains untapped.

The true potential of Ikuikunomi

Ikuikunomi can make anything huge with the power of nurturing.

The true potential of Iku Iku no Mi is enormous. Especially considering the fact that Elbaf is a country of giants. Essentially, owls can grow anything inorganic into a gigantic size. For example, owls can giantize small swords or other weapons to enormous sizes and use them in combat. Any small building can become huge. Owls can also make objects giant in the air. For example, if you shoot a small arrow, the owl can turn it into an absolutely gigantic arrow that can giantize in the air and sink ships and the like.

I must have eaten Ikuikuno, which has the ability to turn inorganic objects into giant ones! – Vegapunk

Oda greatly restricts Biblo from sitting in the library, but Saul goes on to say that owls have existed for hundreds of years. This means that this owl may have been through several battles in the past. It must be remembered that in the past Elbaf was not as peaceful as it is today, and Biblo himself may have witnessed some fighting. If that were true, Biblo would probably have no choice but to use powerful abilities in battle. More importantly, as Oda himself mentioned, there is a high possibility that Biblo's abilities will be unleashed now that the peace of Elbaf has been shaken.

For example, Biblo can potentially massiveize its arsenal if war breaks out, and more importantly, it can transform its ships to gigantic sizes.

This can be used to fight other large-scale battleships, and obviously the potential of this devil fruit has not been developed yet. Any weapon capable of trampling someone can be enlarged, and in some ways even the weapons in a person's arsenal can become ten times more dangerous due to their power.

Could Iku Iku no Mi have been used in the past?

Iku Iku no Mi may be connected to the poneglyph.

Although it wasn't clear, Iku Iku no Mi could return to the Void Century itself. The owl's age is unclear. However, given that the Elbaf people live up to 400 years, perhaps longer, the owl may have lived much longer. In fact, the owl may have come from the Void Century itself. As fans know, owls can make any book huge. But books aren't the only scripts that can go big. All poneglyphs present in are probably one piece The world became huge because of this owl, and it spread all over the world. It also makes sense to think that Kozuki was small when he carved the poneglyphs. Because that would make things a lot easier, and then it would be distributed to a lot of different people, and in the end it wouldn't be big for anyone but Biblo.

So far, it has been clear from the story that using Ikuikunomi can only increase the size of inorganic objects. However, if this devil fruit also works on organic matter, almost anything can be made huge by using this power. The humans currently in Elbaf, including the Straw Hat Pirates, can turn into giants and effectively strengthen their power in various ways. This ability would be incredibly dangerous. This is especially true if a large-scale war breaks out later. Perhaps that's what the awakening aspect of the Devil Fruit can do. Or it could be a hidden ability that has never been utilized. But for now, fans all know that this fruit can influence minerals and help them grow huge.

Ikuikunomi is the first major Devil Fruit introduced in Elbaf. Fans know that there are many other powerful Devil Fruits, and that there are many powerful individuals who wield them. Loki has already been confirmed to have the legendary Devil Fruit, and fans are eager to see what powers his fruit possesses. Then there are also two mysterious figures in the world government. One of them is Shanks' twin and the other is a bandaged woman who can manipulate bandages. Things are about to get even more interesting when it comes to powerful devil fruits. Fans absolutely can't wait to see what's next.

One Piece can be read via Viz Media. The series is officially available for fans to read for free through the Shonen Jump and Manga Plus apps. The release date of One Piece 1135, the next chapter of One Piece, is scheduled for January 3, 2024.
