One Piece Chapter 1177 Review: Elbaf’s Final Battle Begins

by

Wow, One Piece is back after a two-week break, and chapter 1177 absolutely delivered! The action was incredible, and it feels like the Elbaf Arc is finally hitting its peak. Now that the Holy Knights are being taken care of, it’s all building up to the big showdown – Luffy and Loki versus Imu! This chapter was huge for setting everything up, and honestly, it feels like the most important battle of the entire series has officially begun. I’m so hyped!

How The Straw Hats Show Their True Power

Chapter 1177 of One Piece gave each of the Straw Hat Pirates a chance to really stand out, which fans have been hoping for. The chapter showed Zoro battling the Domi Reversi army alongside other giants, with everyone contributing to the fight. Zoro even debuted a new attack, but the other members of the crew arguably had an even bigger impact.

Sanji defeated Saint Killingham in a decisive battle, even beheading him and presenting his head to Jinbe. To ensure he couldn’t regenerate, they secured all of his body parts. With this, the Straw Hats have eliminated one of the arc’s strongest opponents. However, they still have to contend with Saint Sommers, who, though currently disabled, could potentially return as a threat in the future.

Assessing Usopp’s Moment of Shine In The Warland

Although most of the Straw Hat crew had their chance to stand out in fights, Usopp and Brook received significant attention through other events. Usopp was especially impacted by the attack on Elbaf, and he boldly confronted Imu, accusing them of being a coward. This led to Imu directly attacking Usopp and knocking him unconscious, effectively setting up the climax of the current storyline and the crucial final battle to come.

Fans are eager to see Usopp shine in this story arc, and he’s definitely going to have more opportunities to do so. However, this chapter was a major step forward for his character, proving he won’t hesitate to act, even when facing an incredibly powerful enemy like Imu.

Luffy And Loki’s Battle Vs Imu Kickstarts

Oda cleverly used Usopp’s defeat by Imu to push Luffy into a direct confrontation. Now, with chapter 1177, One Piece has established its largest battle yet, promising even more intense action. Luffy and Loki are now facing Imu, and their fight is about to start. Imu has directly challenged them, claiming the battle will have world-altering consequences, which is incredibly significant on multiple levels.

Nika, Nidhogg, submit or die. This battle shall divide the world! — Imu

Many fans wondered if Imu would actually participate in the fighting in the Elbaf arc, but it’s now obvious they’ll be the main villain. This makes the arc’s ending even more unpredictable. Chapter 1178 of One Piece will kick off this huge battle, and it will be fascinating to see how the story unfolds from here.

Elbaf Arc Finally Enters Its Climax

Considering everything that’s unfolded in the Elbaf arc, we’ve clearly reached the peak of the story. With Saint Killingham defeated and Sommers gone, only Gunko – currently under Imu’s control – remains as a threat. Luffy and Loki are now fighting Gunko, and their battle will likely lead to Elbaf’s liberation. This suggests the arc is nearing its conclusion, probably within the next 20 chapters.

Although the story seems to be moving quickly, it will still likely cover more than eighty chapters – a very substantial length. Regardless, the Elbaf arc is nearing its conclusion, and the next few chapters promise thrilling battles with several crew members involved.

One Piece Chapter 1178 will be available to read on Manga Plus on March 29, 2026.
