The Manga Returns From Break: Elbaf Continues In One Piece Chapter 1143
Oda Continues The Story in the Land Of The Giants
In the last chapter of One Piece, fans saw the Holy Knights finally making their move. After Shamrock left the country, it was clear that the other three would have to make up for the lack of a strong enemy and show that they took are capable of being great antagonists. For now, they haven’t shown any such thing, but they did take some steps towards becoming impressive adversaries when they started their plan to kidnap children from Elbaf. All the Holy Knights combined their abilities to accomplish this. For instance, Killingham was seen putting the children to sleep.
Say, Gunko, what is it that you fear the most? — Sommers
Meanwhile, Sommers was clearly seen turning the worst nightmares of the children of Elbaf into reality, and finally, Gunko led the children to the beach, all the while defending them from anyone daring to come close to the children. In the Underworld, Loki was seen using his hammer, Ragnir, to strike down lightning upon Elbaf and he already caused a few fires. This is most definitely going to turn into an even more intense event and fans absolutely cannot wait to see what’s next.
Unfortunately, this is when the story took a break and fans realized that they had to wait for One Piece chapter 1143 to drop.
Now that the waiting period is almost over, fans know for a fact that One Piece chapter 1143 will tackle this development even more, making the story more exciting than ever before.
The Giants and Straw Hat Pirates Show Up To Stop The Beasts
- The Giant Beasts Will Rampage For A While
- Dorry And Brogy Will Need To Show Up
One Piece chapter 1143 will most definitely focus on the Giant Pirates. It is clear that they need to be called into action here, because if they aren’t the Giants are most definitely not going to be able to contain the threat. In the previous chapter, a horn was blown to alert the whole country. This is now a nation-level emergency, meaning all the Giants are going to be ready to take on the threat of the nightmare beasts.
These are the worst nightmares of the children having come to life! — Ange
The Walrus School isn’t too far from the Aurust Castle, which means that the Giants will most definitely be stepping foot into the school and then heading out to stop the beasts. Dorry and Brogy should be expected to show up in One Piece chapter 1143, and the likes of Jarul should appear as well. At the same time, fans should also see the characters of Usopp, Nami, Jinbe, and Brook with the Giants, and they should all be doing their best to aim the Giants on One Piece chapter 1143.

One Piece: Oda Sets Up Monkey D. Garp’s Execution
Garp will die in One Piece’s final saga. Oda has already set up his execution.
Together, they should be able to sustain the pressure of the many beasts of Elbaf, and at the same time, allow for the children to be rescued. The goal here is not just to stop the ramping beasts, but also to rescue the children because otherwise, it’ll all be for naught. The children of Elbaf absolutely cannot be kidnapped here.
If they are, then that means they’ll be subject to slavery and it should be obvious that Oda won’t put them through that. As such, One Piece chapter 1143 will likely set the stage for a division of forces when the Giants regroup, with one group stopping the kids and the other stopping the rampaging beasts. It is possible that the group of teachers will be focused on getting the children back, while the pirates will be looking to contain the nightmares of the children. Dorry and Brogy, being strong, will likely try to contain the beasts. Usopp, their pupil, will likely play a big part here as well.
Similarly, Nami, who is known to care deeply about children, will likely head towards the sleepwalking children along with Robin and Chopper, and possibly Saul, and try to rescue them. This will set up two exciting parts on the battlefield in One Piece Chapter 1143.
Loki Is Finally Free In One Piece 1143
Loki’s Freedom Is Now Within Reach
Of course, there is absolutely no way that One Piece chapter 1143 will end without any updates on Loki in the Underworld. As things stand, he’s mostly free, but he still has one shackle on his ankle, which complicates things even further. Due to the shackle on him, he struck the Adam Tree in the previous chapter, causing lightning to rain from the sky. Surely, the Straw Hat Pirates cannot allow him to continue like that and the only way possible is to release him fully.
While One Piece chapter 1143 is most likely going to show Loki freed, fans should expect that to happen towards the very end of the chapter, which means that Loki’s true form will likely not be revealed to the fans here. That said, it will likely be teased at the very end.
This sets up a very exciting confrontation in the Underworld, all the while preparing grounds for a big battle between some legendary beasts of Elbaf and the Straw Hat-Giants team up. As always, Oda could have a few surprises lined up for the fans as well that are beyond any predictions, and if he does, then it’ll most definitely be a spectacular chapter.
Fans should be happy knowing that One Piece is not going to be on break at all and the upcoming chapter is heading their way next week. Looks like Oda is going on a 3-chapter run one again, and it’ll definitely be very interesting to see what happens in Elbaf next. For now, all things look very intense.
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 1143, is set to be March 23, 2025.
