Latest One Piece manga spoilers emphasize Luffy and Zoro’s Haki while exculpating Loki from Harald’s murder
One Piece chapter 1152 will be titled “Terrible Day”, likely referencing the flashback of the day of King Harald’s death. According to the spoilers, the cover story centered on Yamato continues as she gives Kawamatsu a hat made by Otama. In Elbaph’s Underworld, Scopper Gaban explains that the Holy Knights aren’t invincible, despite their surreal regeneration and alleged immortality.
Gaban reveals that defeating them requires the ability to use high-level Conqueror’s Haki. After telling Luffy that he must improve his Color of Conqueror, Gaban remarks that there’s another person nearby who can use the same ultra-rare power. Sanji is hopeful that Gaban meant him, but his disappointment is complete when he realizes that Gaban is talking about Zoro.
Luffy says that he knew Zoro had the same natural-born ability. Zoro, however, wasn’t fully aware that the power he was using was Conqueror’s Haki, which prompted Gaban to comically yell at him. As the group prepares to counterattack the Holy Knights, Luffy asks Loki to join his crew, so that Hajrudin will have to release him, but everyone present, including Loki, disagrees with Luffy’s proposal.
Then Gaban reveals that he and Shanks were in Elbaph on the day when King Harald died. A short flashback taking place 14 years before the present narration shows Loki arriving at King Harald’s castle. Loki wanted to ask his father why he allied with the World Government, which killed Rocks D. Xebec. Still, when Loki arrived at the castle, he found Harald pierced by his soldiers.
Meanwhile, Shanks spoke with Gaban, telling him he wanted to meet King Harald again as they had bonded in the past. Shanks also said that he wanted to form a pirate crew with Buggy, but he couldn’t, to which Gaban replied by calling Shanks “the destined boy”. During the conversation, Shanks is shown to have the same Abyss mark as the Holy Knights. The flashback concludes with a mysterious figure stealing Elbaph’s legendary Devil Fruit.
One Piece chapter 1152 ends with another flashback, set 109 years before the present narration. This flashback focuses on King Harald in his youth as he rampages through a certain kingdom. These are just the initial spoilers for the chapter, so more detailed information will likely be released in the coming hours.
A brief analysis of the spoilers
One Piece chapter 1152 establishes that the Holy Knights can only be defeated by Conqueror’s Haki users who are powerful and skilled enough. This likely extends to the Five Elders, who possess the same immortality and regeneration as the Holy Knights.
Gaban mentions that Luffy must improve his Conqueror’s Haki, which may explain why he wasn’t able to hurt the Elders during the Egghead Incident. As for Zoro, who can also use the same Conqueror’s Haki as Luffy, he may have a more precocious talent for this power despite not being fully aware of it.
On Egghead, the Elders allowed the Straw Hats and the Giants to hit them, unconcerned with actively defending themselves as they knew that their regeneration would render any effort futile.
However, when Zoro attacked him, one of the Elders felt the need to parry the strike instead of passively taking it as usual. In light of Gaban’s words in One Piece chapter 1152, this otherwise inexplicable behavior can be explained by the Elder sensing a powerful Conqueror’s Haki in Zoro’s attack.
Shanks being called “the destined boy” likely refers to the fact that he is meant to act on behalf of Gol D. Roger. When Roger returned from Laugh Tale, he whispered something in Shanks’ ears. At the time, Shanks was just a boy, and he was left in tears. It now seems that those words were instructions for the “Red-Haired”.
During the conversation with Gaban, Shanks has the Abyss mark on his arm, which may be explained by the fact that this scene happened shortly after he returned to Mary Geoise. After visiting this place, Shanks rejected his Figarland heritage and decided to live as a common pirate.
Furthermore, the leaks confirm that King Harald was in cahoots with the World Government, and seemingly exculpate Loki from the accusation of killing his father. The spoilers also disclose that Xebec died at the hands of the World Government, a stunning revelation that may conceal even more intriguing truths from the past.
One Piece chapter 1152 spoilers show someone stealing the legendary Devil Fruit that Elbaph is said to safeguard and pass on from generation to generation. Previously, it was stated that Loki killed King Harald to steal the item, but the chapter allegedly disproves this notion. However, the chapter doesn’t seem to reveal the name and powers of this mysterious Devil Fruit, or who actually seized it.
This information is likely reserved for upcoming chapters. With a new installment dropping next week, fans can brace for thrilling revelations and enjoy Luffy, Zoro, Loki, and the others confronting the Imu-possessed Gunko, the Holy Knights, and the Giants-turned-demons to save Elbaph from doom.
