The Iron Giant, or the Ancient Giant Robot, was created about 900 years ago, in the Void Century. The original motivation for the creation of this enormous robot remains a mystery to us. The energy required for this robot to operate is generated when Luffy transforms into his Gear 5 form and plays the Drums of Liberation. Nevertheless, this enormous robot was likewise powered by an antiquated energy.

About 200 years ago, with the events of Mary Geoise, the Iron Giant ran out of energy and fell into slumber. Despite the World Government's command to destroy it, the scientists chose to investigate it. Ultimately, the Iron Giant was obtained by Dr. Vegapunk, who retained it on Egghead Island.

Following the sound of the Liberation Drums As Luffy transformed into his Gear 5 Nika form on Egghead Island, the robot resumed its strength and began aiding the Straw Hat Pirates in evading the Five Elders' fury. Moreover, the name of the Iron Giant Robot was disclosed as "Emet." in One Piece manga chapter 1119.

Interesting Information:In Hebrew, the term Emet means "Truth." Furthermore, according to Jewish mythology, this term has to be inscribed on a golem in order for it to come to life. Oda sensei seems to have taken inspiration for the Iron Giant from actual legend once again.

A Complete History of Emmet the Robot

The Five Elders in the manga said that this robot was the identical one who destroyed Mary Geoise over 200 years before. Even now, it's still astounding that this robot managed to ascend the whole Red Line. It was also disclosed in Chapter 1119 that Joy Boy told Emet about a situation that might need the robot to respond in the future.

Moreover, Dr. Vegapunk retained the transmission Den Den Mushi inside the enormous automaton. That was helpful since they had to beat this enormous robot in order to stop the broadcast of Dr. Vegapunk's message.

The Drums of Liberation sound from Luffy and Bonney in Nika form let Emet to stand back up even after St. Topman Warcury pushed him down and interrupted the broadcast. Thus, we were able to listen to the elderly scientist's broadcast once again as he discussed the D clan and the struggle to get to the One Piece.

Oda sensei and Emet continued to play mind games with us for quite some time. As a result, when its abilities were eventually revealed, it astounded everyone. Luffy saw that Topman's devil form had strong, resilient skin as he was unable to strike Topman Warcury with a strong blow. Not even in his Gear 5 form, nor with the help of advanced versions of Haki, could Luffy really inflict any damage to this monster.

But eventually, one of Topman Warcury's tusks broke when Emet hit him, leaving him bleeding. This instance demonstrated the Iron Giant's extraordinary strength. We're eager to find out what abilities Emet has stashed within since Chapter 1120 suggested he was preparing to utilize a last, secret weapon.
