Oda Returns With A Stunning Chapter

This article contains spoilers from One Piece’s Elbaf arc.

Key Takeaways

• Luffy and Loki’s deal will likely be concluded in One Piece 1132
• The upper realm of Elbaf and Elbaf Village will be featured in the upcoming chapter
• The Straw Hat Pirates are expected to reunite and explore Elbaf, with the potential for Saul’s health to be addressed.

One Piece fans have endured quite a difficult time as of late, and this was largely due to the many breaks hampering the development of the ongoing Elbaf arc. In fact, in about 6 weeks, fans only got one chapter, which is not the norm for them. Usually, Oda drops around three chapters, followed by a break, but unforeseen circumstances led to this difficult situation. The good news is that the wait is finally over and One Piece chapter 1132 is just days away now.

Finally, fans can dive right into the Elbaf Arc and, with that, continue this incredibly exciting adventure of the Straw Hat Pirates in the Kingdom of Giants.

Luffy and Loki’s Deal Will Likely Be Concluded In One Piece 1132

• Loki wants Luffy to free him
• Luffy would have to get the key from Elbaf Village

One Piece chapter 1132 is most definitely going to focus on Luffy and Loki once again. Although fans will likely not see an extended conversation between them, given that the vast majority of it has already been covered by Oda and that the second half will only happen after Luffy helps free Loki, there is still going to be some dialogue. For instance, Luffy has not yet given an answer to Loki on whether he will go on to free him or not. One Piece 1132 will likely see Luffy agree to this request.

Why was Shanks here? Why did he come to see you? – Luffy

This is simply because Luffy doesn’t seem to sense any malicious intent from him, even though he knows he’s very strong. He is likely going to agree to getting the key for him in order to free him, and when he does that, he will get the answer to why Shanks was in the underworld of Elbaf to meet with Loki in the first place. This essentially means that fans will get to see a couple of pages focused on Luffy and Loki in One Piece chapter 1132, before which Luffy will likely head back to the upper level, where he intends to meet with the remaining members of the Straw Hat Pirates. Before splitting from them, Luffy clearly stated that he is going to meet up with them ahead, and it is likely that that is going to happen soon enough.

As far as Loki goes, he’s likely going to be cut out of the scene in this chapter, because whatever comes next in regards to him is likely going to be either through other characters, or, after he is released from his chains. This means that the focus will shift to releasing Loki before he can add more to the story, at least himself.

Luffy finally going back to the upper level of Elbaf also means that he might try looking for the key to Loki’s chains in the next few chapters. One Piece chapter 1132 could see Luffy begin his search, and given that this is something that the people of Elbaf will not allow him to do in any case, it is going to be a very difficult job for him. Luffy will have to somehow convince the people of Elbaf to let him do it, or, do it without them even realizing it. It is going to be very interesting to see how Oda handles this part of the story because, one way or another, Loki will have to be released from his chains.

The Upper Realm of Elbaf Could Be Shown To The Fans

The Straw Hat Pirates Are Expected In Elbaf Village in One Piece 1132

One Piece chapter 1132 is likely going to focus on the upper realm of elbaf. As fans now, Zoro, Sanji, Usopp, Nami, and Chopper are currently headed to the higher level of Elbaf. They were taking a rope bridge, and this bridge is likely going to lead them higher. Given that they were quite close to the end in the previous chapter, One Piece chapter 1132 will likely see them reach the middle part of Elbaf, which will likely be Midgard, and will host the Elbaf Village. It is also possible that fans will see the Straw Hat Pirates meeting up with some members of the New Giant Warrior Pirates there, and make some friends.

It must be remembered that Hajrudin, who hunted a moose in the previous chapter, likely wanted to take it back to the Elbaf Village in order to have a large banquet with the Straw Hat Pirates. It is possible that he will make it back to Elbaf Village as well, and a giant party could ensue in One Piece chapter 1132. Fans are likely to hear more about Loki here. Shanks’s involvement could also be hinted at here because he was recently in the country as well. Hajrudin could also be having his own travels, which could be brought up in One Piece chapter 1132. Above all, fans would absolutely love it if more information pertaining to King Harald is provided to the fans in this chapter, as that is something that fans have been curious about ever since it was brought up.

It must be remembered that if the Straw Hat Pirates do reach the Midgard, then, perhaps a clear view of Asgard will be provided as well. When Asgard is talked about, then one needs to consider the Bifrost as well. It is also possible that the author will incorporate the concept of Bifrost into the story here. In Norse mythology, this bridge connects Midgard to Asgard, and it is essentially a rainbow path. This rainbow path was seen in the background in Elbaf a few chapters ago, and the fact is that Oda could very well see it connect Midgard to the top level, which is where the Elbaf royalty could potentially live.

The Straw Hat Pirates Begin Elbaf Exploration

All The Straw Hat Pirates Could Reunite In Elbaf

In the previous chapter, the remaining members of the Straw Hat Pirates were seen edging closer to Elbaf. In One Piece chapter 1132, they will likely step foot on Elbaf with the other Giants, and head straight for Elbaf Village. Most importantly, Saul was seen collapsing in the previous chapter, and fans will likely find out what exactly happened to him in One Piece 1132 as well. While Saul may be suffering from some disease, it is highly likely that Oda will utilize this opportunity to remind the fans that he is a scholar and buried his nose into books ever since the Ohara Incident. It is possible that he is so invested in books that he forgets to sleep and eat at times, and that is the reason for his terrible health condition at this point.

The scholar! He’s suddenly collapsed! – Elbaf resident

Of course, that would take away the fear that fans might have in regard to his death, but it would certainly also mean that his reunion with Nico Robin is going to be a good one. Fans will likely see this reunion happen very soon in One Piece, with One Piece chapter 1132 potentially being a major buildup towards it. Regardless of which way the story goes, fans are incredibly excited about the return of the series, and the long wait is finally over. Hopefully, Oda can deliver a string of chapters in the coming weeks.

One Piece is available to read via Viz Media. The series can be read by the fans officially and for free on the Shonen Jump and the Manga Plus apps. The release date for the next chapter of One Piece, One Piece 1132, is set to be December 1, 2024.
