Recap of One Piece Chapter 1143
The Powers of the Holy Knights
Chapter 1143 provided more insight into two powerful members of the Holy Knights—Saint Sommers and Killingham. Their Devil Fruit abilities played a major role in shaping the events of the previous chapter:
- Saint Sommers possesses the Thorn-Thorn Fruit, enabling him to attack opponents with thorn-like projectiles whenever they get close to his targets.
- Killingham wields the Dragon-Dragon Fruit, a unique ability that brings objects from a person’s dreams into reality. He showcased this ability at Walrus School, turning children’s drawings into real, tangible threats【9†source】.
These two warriors demonstrated their immense strength, proving that the Holy Knights are among the most formidable enemies Luffy and his allies have faced.
Loki vs. Luffy: The Confrontation at Elbaph
One of the biggest moments in Chapter 1143 was the showdown between Luffy and Prince Loki of Elbaph. Luffy landed a half-powered punch on Loki, which caused him to collapse. However, Zoro noticed that Loki was already in a weakened state before the attack, suggesting that something deeper is going on with the prince【10†source】.
At the same time, Hajrudin, the Giant Warrior, is enraged and seeks revenge against Loki for allegedly killing his father. But at the end of the chapter, Loki regains consciousness and claims he never intended to kill Hajrudin’s father, opening up a new mystery【10†source】.
What to Expect in One Piece Chapter 1144
1. The Truth Behind Loki’s Actions
With Loki’s surprising statement at the end of Chapter 1143, it’s possible that there is more to his actions than meets the eye. Did he truly kill Hajrudin’s father, or was he framed? There’s a chance that another force—possibly the Holy Knights or even the World Government—manipulated the situation.
This revelation could shift the battle’s dynamics, leading to a temporary truce between Loki and the Straw Hat Pirates.
2. The Role of the Holy Knights
Saint Sommers and Killingham have already proven to be dangerous foes, but they are only two members of the Holy Knights. There are rumors that other Holy Knights may soon enter the battlefield, making things even more challenging for Luffy and his crew.
One lingering question is who commands the Holy Knights. Many fans speculate that their leader is a key figure within the World Government, possibly someone connected to Imu or the Five Elders.
3. Luffy’s Next Move
Luffy’s confrontation with Loki was unexpected, but now that Loki has spoken out, Luffy might rethink his actions. Instead of finishing off the prince, Luffy could shift his focus to taking down the real masterminds behind the conflict.
If Loki truly wasn’t responsible for Hajrudin’s father’s death, we might even see Loki and Luffy team up against the Holy Knights.
4. More Revelations About Elbaph
Elbaph has always been a mysterious land, often compared to the strength and discipline of the Vikings. We might learn more about its history, culture, and its connection to Void Century secrets. There is also a possibility that an Ancient Weapon is hidden in Elbaph, which could explain why the World Government is interested in the region.
Fan Theories and Speculations
1. The Connection Between Elbaph and Joy Boy
Some fans speculate that Elbaph was once Joy Boy’s stronghold. If this theory proves true, we might finally get key details about the past that could change everything we know about the One Piece world.
2. Loki’s Real Motive
Could Loki have been trying to protect Elbaph from external forces? If he was forced into making tough decisions to defend his kingdom, then he may not be the villain that many believed him to be.
3. Shanks’ Possible Arrival
With Elbaph playing such a critical role in the current arc, there’s a possibility that Shanks could make an appearance. Given his ties to the giants and the island, his intervention could completely change the course of events.
Conclusion
One Piece Chapter 1144 is shaping up to be one of the most significant chapters in recent memory. From Loki’s surprising statement to the rise of the Holy Knights, the upcoming chapter could redefine Luffy’s journey in Elbaph. As we wait for official spoilers to drop, the excitement among fans continues to grow.
