One Piece's Elbaph Arc Just Subtly Confirmed One of Its Foremost Movies Is Officially Canon
Chapter #1131 of One Piece is packed with details that deepen the Elbaph Arc storyline, with the Straw Hats getting more engaged with the lore and events of the island. Among the chapter’s highlights are Loki’s proof that the mysterious Adam Wood originates from the Jewel Trunk Adam, and Luffy learning that Shanks recently visited Elbaph. However, a subtle detail in their conversation has also confirmed that one of the best One Piece movies could be considered officially canon for the series.
Over the past two decades, the One Piece series has released numerous movies, each offering a unique adventure outside the main manga storyline. Yet, One Piece Film: Strong World always stood out as particularly connected to the manga's narrative, especially since Eiichiro Oda himself wrote it. Fans have long speculated about its canonicity, but a major hint in Chapter #1131 finally confirms it.

Speculation Is Strong World canon now?
Forcer said:
Opinions can change.
Unlike other movie characters that are forgotten Shiki keeps popping up in the manga. While movies after strong world keep showing how "impossible" they are to be canon it enphasis Strong World along with chapter zero to be special.
Shiki being mentioned the first time in the manga seemed like a fun link to the movie, but he keeps getting mentioned so Oda clearly wants to be something more.
Him showing this chapter seemed like a nice opportunity to see if people's thoughts changed.Click to expand...
There's no new information that would necessitate that opinion changing. Shiki has been manga canon since before Strong World was released, that has never meant anything for the movie, and him continuing to be manga canon continues to mean nothing for the movie. The movies have never been treated as manga canon; Luffy defeating a Great Pirate who was once recognized as a peer to Roger and Whitebeard would have created massive waves in the world of One Piece.
The only place it could fit in the timeline is between Thriller Bark and Sabaody Archipelego, and yet

Why Aren't The One Piece Movies Canon?
Since its debut in 1997, the One Piece franchise has helped define multiple generations of shonen media. As the best-selling manga of all time, the series' influence is hard to overstate, especially after the recent success of its anime and live-action adaptations.
One of the most underappreciated parts of the One Piece franchise is its engagement to regularly releasing movies, the latest of which — One Piece Film: Red — became the sixth highest-grossing Japanese production of all time. However, despite the success of One Piece's theatrical releases, they're still considered non-canon, as they consistently argue against the canon events of Monkey D. Luffy's journey.

So... About Strong World, can we count it on the Manga canon? [Spoilers of course]
Usually we don't count One Piece movies neither in the manga continuity or the anime, but not only Oda wrote the movie, but he also created the canon chapter 0 that Shiki appears and describe the events of Strong World.
Personally, I see nothing stopping Robust World of being part of the Anime or Manga continuity since it could easily be placed between Thriller Bark and Shanbody Archipelago, but the lack of references on the manga makes it difficult to contemplate it. (maybe we'll see some characters addressing the events of Luffy vs Shiki showdown now that the Movie is out and won't spoil nothing anymore)
I tried to avoid spoiler is his thread, so unless you read the reviews, this part here is about the noticeable Shiki Vs Luffy
