· On July 24th, new character information for August was revealed through the official One Piece Treasure Cruise X (formerly Twitter) and website.
· The 'Elbaf Great Adventure Sugo Fest' will begin on July 27th at 12 PM, featuring the new character Brook. The official website specifies that Brook, Franky, and Jinbe will appear as new characters.

· This new character release is named 'Elbaf Great Adventure Sugo Fest' instead of 'Super Sugo Fest,' indicating it won't be a Super Sugo Fest.
· Furthermore, these characters do not possess 'Grand Party' abilities and are expected to be regular festival-exclusive characters. This suggests they will be released through the usual end-of-month gacha.
· Consequently, there are predictions that the current Super Sugo Fest may go on a temporary hiatus.

· Typically, several Super Sugo Fests have occurred between summer and fall. However, with the release of a regular Sugo Fest first, there's a possibility that Super Sugo Fests might be temporarily suspended.
· In a past video, it was predicted that Super Sugo Fests would resume in August. It seems likely that the next Super Sugo Fest is scheduled after this end-of-month gacha.
· August also has events like Pirate Festival Sugo Fest and Treasure Festival Sugo Fest scheduled, so their connection to these dates is also noteworthy.

· This Sugo Fest is expected to feature a total of three new characters: Brook, Franky, and Jinbe. This is similar to the previous release of Elbaf Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji.
· However, unlike the past where Luffy was a free character, it's highly probable that all three will be gacha characters this time.
· Since regular end-of-month gachas usually introduce one to two new characters, the simultaneous appearance of three characters is unusual.

· Given that a Robin character in an Elbaf outfit has not yet appeared, there's speculation that Robin might be included in this gacha.
· However, it's still uncertain whether Robin will be a gacha character, and there's anticipation about what kind of character she might be if she appears.

· This Sugo Fest will begin on Monday, July 27th, at 12 PM. This is an unusual schedule, as gachas typically start on weekends.
· Along with this, new events like the Miracle of the Pirate King and the Subjugation Festival may start from July 27th.
· If the gacha and events start on the same day, it could be a very tight schedule for players. Event schedules are expected to be announced later.

· The newly appearing Elbaf crew characters are all expected to have the 'Tech' attribute and 'Slasher' type.
· This aligns with the attributes and types of the recently renewed Pirate Festival Preliminary Round C, suggesting high usability in related content.
· Additionally, there's a possibility of performance upgrades for related characters, such as Hawkins' ship being enhanced.

· With the super evolution of Elbaf Luffy changing to the instant death type, the utility of instant death decks has increased.
· If the new Elbaf crew characters released this time have the Tech attribute and Slasher type, it will be interesting to see how they synergize with existing instant death decks.
· There are also predictions that the trend of instant death decks might be concluding, necessitating new deck compositions.

· Beyond the Elbaf crew, there's anticipation for characters like Robin in an Elbaf outfit who hasn't appeared yet, or characters like Geltz and Lord who have the potential to be released as festival-exclusive characters.
· Lord, in particular, is included as a condition for Brook's super evolution, increasing the likelihood of Lord's appearance in the future.

· The video creator personally expressed their fondness for Brook, conveying their excitement for the new Brook character.
· Mentioning Brook's illustration and charming appeal, they expressed a desire to obtain Brook through the gacha.
· They also shared a hope that Brook might be distributed through panel missions, similar to Luffy in the past.
