What Happened in One Piece Chapter #1142?
As Loki Prepares To Burn Elbaph Island, God’s Knights Also Make a Move To Destroy the Island
One PieceChapter #1142, titled “What I’m Afraid Of,” begins with trouble at the Giants' school, as children run from a huge snake monster. Saul and the school’s principal, Tusk, revealed to be a former giant pirate, easily stop the monster with their combined strength. However, one of the teachers appears to be seriously wounded, and as the others rush to aid him, the injured teacher informs them about not touching the children. Meanwhile, other students reveal that the majority of the children are sleepwalking in a particular direction.
Tusk tells the others to blow the horn, warning the entire country about the chaos, especially after seeing more large monsters emerging from the forest as more children pass out. The chapter then shifts focus to the underworld area of Elbaph Island, where Loki warns everyone present to free him completely if they don’t want to see Elbaph destroyed. To cement his threat,Loki attacks with his weapon Ragnir, causing the area to catch fire, as the island is highly susceptible to flames.
One Piece Creator Confirms Elbaph Theory, Revealing Loki’s True Age
In the last chapter of One Piece, Oda confirms how Giants age in comparison to humans and solidifies just how old Loki is to the Straw Hat Pirates.
The narrative then returns to Walrus School, where the giants speculate about the unfolding chaos. Miss Ange reveals a striking detail: the monsters emerging from the forest are the very ones the children had drawn earlier in class when prompted to depict what they were afraid of. As the chapter comes to an end,One PieceChapter #1142 reveals that the newly arrived God’s Knights are behind the current predicament, with Killingham possessing the ability to put children to sleep, while Sommers likely has the ability to bring their nightmares to life.
What Will Happen in One Piece Chapter #1143?
IfOne PieceChapter #1143 continues the events in the underworld of Elbaph, it will undoubtedly feature Luffy and Zoro attempting to stop Loki, as they are responsible for the current chaos by setting him free. With Sanji also arriving in the current predicament, fans can expect theMonster Trio ofOne Pieceto be in action against the most formidable giant resident.
While the upcoming chapter will likely focus on action with the Monster Trio, it will also continue to push the arc into deeper chaos, with the God’s Knights making significant moves against the giants, who will attempt to stop the current destruction. The giants will likely seek any help they can, which may lead to the Giant Warrior Pirates diving into action and possibly even see Scopper Gabban joining the chaos and confronting the God’s Knights. Ultimately,One PieceChapter #1143 is bound to deliver the action fans have been expecting from this latest arc.
