Robin and Saul as Harry Potter and Hagrid
A fan Theory by X handler @BlacktyonteXavi suggests in the recent color spread featuring the Straw Hat crew with a Harry Potter theme, Robin stands out as the only one wearing glasses, directly resembling Harry Potter. This visual clue hints at Robin’s symbolic connection to Harry—a misunderstood “cursed child” who carries the weight of a tragic past and is seen by many as a threat, yet possesses the potential to change the world.
Saul’s role as a teacher at the “Library of Owls” mirrors Hagrid’s role in Harry Potter as a guardian and guide. The choice of “owls” in the library’s name may also be deliberate, as owls are iconic in the Harry Potter universe, symbolizing wisdom, communication, and connection to a magical world. Additionally, Hagrid’s hut was situated near a stream or lake, much like the Library of Owls being located near the “Warrior’s Spring.” From a giant’s perspective, the setting is even more strikingly similar.
Final Thoughts
One Piece Chapter 1133 is a masterclass in storytelling or in fans’ words “An Absolute Cinema”, blending with emotional depth, world-building, and narrative progression. Robin’s journey from pain to strength, the cultural richness of Elbaf, and the hints at upcoming revelations all make this chapter a standout. It’s a reminder of what makes One Piece so special: its ability to weave complex histories, powerful character moments, and epic adventures into a cohesive and unforgettable narrative.
The seeds planted in this chapter promise a thrilling arc ahead, one that will not only deepen our understanding of the One Piece world but also bring us closer to the ultimate treasure itself.
