Luffy's journey to become the Pirate King in One Piece is a long one, but having these friends at his back makes it easier.

Strength In Combat

The giants are renowned for their immense physical strength and fighting skills. They will be invaluable allies to the Straw Hats against the World Government or even the Yonkos. The giants' mighty physical appearance is not their only advantage, as they fuse it up with excellent fighting skills. In Enies Lobby, during the Straw Hats' fight against the World Government, the additional strength of Oimo and Kashi gave the Straw Hats a higher chance of victory. Also, the continuous and strenuous fight between Dorry and Brogy in the Little Garden arc portrays the Giants' resilience and power.

In the recent Egghead arc events, the Giants attacked and held the upper hand against the Marines easily, with the Buster Call order still active. Even Big Mom, an ex-Yonko, commended the giant's abilities and how whichever pirate or individual they support will prove indestructible and challenging to defeat. Hence, there is no doubt that giants fighting alongside the Straw Hats will tip the power scale in their favor. Since Elbaf is known as a land of warriors, Luffy and the Straw Hats could benefit greatly from training under the giants and learning more about wielding Gear 5. They could hone their physical strength, combat techniques, and even Haki mastery, making them more formidable on the sea.

Historical Knowledge

The mysteries in the world of One Piece hold the key to understanding the true nature of the world power structure, the origin of Devil Fruits, and the forgotten history of the world. Elbaf possesses a rich history and potential knowledge about the Void Century and the Ancient Kingdom. This knowledge could be crucial for Luffy to understand the true nature of One Piece and the forces he faces. When the Giants made their entry in Egghead, they proclaimed how they had come to save the Sun God Nika, and this shows they know many things the world does not know, and this knowledge will aid Luffy in knowing his role as the savior of the world.

Moreover, by revealing the truth about the Void Century and the World Government's true agenda, Luffy could gain the support of those who oppose the current power structure, potentially creating a powerful alliance. While this historical knowledge is key to unlocking the secrets of the past and exposing hidden truths, the extent of the Elbaf Giants' knowledge about the world of One Piece remains a mystery. Still, it may hold an even greater significance than fans imagine.

Alliance and Support

An alliance with Elbaf would grant Luffy the backing of a mighty nation, potentially influencing other giants and gaining their support to conquer the sea. The mere association with the giants, known for their fearsome reputation, could deter potential adversaries and make Luffy more fearsome on the Grand Line. The Straw Hats pirates would gain a significant tactical advantage against powerful opponents like the Marines, deterring rivals and potentially shifting the balance of power. Also, Giants can excel in breaching heavily fortified locations, just like the Elbaf giants demonstrated at Egghead when they destroyed the Marine ships during the destructive Buster Call order.

The Giants' abilities to overcome formidable defenses could prove invaluable in conquering strategic locations and overcoming seemingly insurmountable obstacles. Because the Giants' support could significantly equate to conquering the Grand Line, Yonko Big Mom funded Caesar Clown's project to make Giants at Punk Hazard. In other words, even the most powerful clamor for the power and support of the giants to become more formidable on the sea. Moreover, a Pirate King must have the charisma and leadership skills to unite people, which is a value Luffy possesses as he continues to unite under the Straw Hats' banner. An alliance with Elbaf would demonstrate Luffy's ability to forge meaningful connections and symbolize a break from the oppressive regime of the World Government and the dawn of a new era in the One Piece world.
