One Piece: Elbaph Arc (Vols. 111–115, ongoing)

The crew finally reaches Elbaph, the land of giant warriors Usopp has dreamed of seeing since Little Garden. The island is a colossal tree with its own world of legends, snow and traditions. Luffy meets Loki, a chained prince everyone calls cursed, and the island's history starts opening up to the crew. Soon the World Government's Holy Knights arrive, led by Shamrock, and Elbaph becomes a battlefield. Scopper Gaban, an old crewmate of Gol D. Roger, joins the fight. The arc is still ongoing: through Vol. 115, from July 2026, the threat hanging over the giants keeps growing.
