One Piece has finally revealed when the Straw Hats will arrive in Elbaf, and it may be much sooner than fans think. Elbaf, the home of the Giants, has been one of the most highly anticipated destinations ever since the introduction of Dorry and Brogy back in Little Garden, and according to Shonen Jump’s official website, it may not be long until the Straw Hats finally make landfall.
According to Shōnen Jump’s merchandise release calendar for One Piece, the Elbaf World Collectible Figures will be released in November 2024, which means that the Straw Hats will have arrived at Elbaf by then. Though no exact date has been specified just yet, these figurines are expected to be released in early to mid-November.
That said, fans should keep in mind that these figures are usually released a few months after the actual beginning of the arc, the Elbaf arc may begin a few months before November.

While November does seem quite far away, taking into consideration Oda’s regular breaks, there may be less than 25 chapters until the Elbaf arc is well underway. Though the Egghead Arc first began around the beginning of January, it wasn’t until May that the first volume of Egghead World Collectible Figurines was released in Japan, which means that by the time November rolls around, One Piece may already be deep into the Elbaf arc.
