Summary

  • Imu turns Dorry and Brogy into immortal slaves, making Zoro and Sanji the only ones strong enough to fight them.
  • Zoro and Sanji are expected to reach Admiral level strength after Elbaf, potentially surpassing 2 billion bounties.

The Elbaf arc of One Piece has been nothing short of extraordinary thus far, with fans eagerly anticipating even more thrilling moments ahead. So far, Oda has meticulously set the stage for the most formidable challenges in this storyline, and with chapter 1149, he’s unveiled Imu as the principal antagonist. It’s clear that Imu will present a significant adversary for the Straw Hat Pirates to confront and vanquish, making their journey all the more captivating.

It’s common knowledge among fans that it’s Luffy who will confront Imu in this storyline, leaving other Straw Hat Pirates like Zoro and Sanji in the spotlight. For a long time, readers have been curious about who these two characters would battle in the Elbaf arc of One Piece. However, with the release of chapter 1150, it appears that the mystery has been resolved.

Sanji And Zoro’s Elbaf Opponents Have Been Confirmed

Dorry And Brogy Will Fight Sanji And Zoro

Sanji and Zoro are often referred to as the “Wings of the Pirate King,” signifying their significant contributions in combat scenes throughout the story. Being two of Luffy’s most powerful subordinates, they each have impressive potential yet to be fully realized. While there is debate about who is stronger between the two, creator Oda has made it clear that their strength levels are balanced. To further emphasize this point, in the Elbaf arc, Oda introduced Scopper Gaban, a character similar to Sanji and considered equal to Rayleigh, suggesting an even match between Zoro and Sanji. In essence, regardless of how the story unfolds, their strength balance will remain consistent.

It’s not just Gaban and Rayleigh who resemble Sanji and Zoro; in fact, Oda started establishing parallels between Zoro and Sanji as far back as the Little Garden arc in One Piece. In this storyline, Oda subtly hinted that Zoro and Sanji were similar to Dorry and Brogy. For those who aren’t familiar, Dorry and Brogy were ancient, powerhouse creatures who once led the Giant Warrior Pirates, wreaking havoc across the globe. However, their most striking characteristic is their long-standing rivalry. They engaged in a dinosaur competition years ago, which sparked a 102-year duel that’s currently on pause. In every sense of the word, these two are evenly matched, and their bounties of 1.8 billion berries each reflect this equality.

Dorry and Brogy Join Imu’s Army

In chapter 1150 of the popular series “One Piece”, Oda took everyone by surprise when Imu revealed their hidden power in Elbaf. Fans couldn’t believe it when Imu transformed into a demon and demonstrated an overpowering strength that made quick work of Dorry and Brogy. What made this revelation even more shocking was that Imu used their magical abilities to enslave Dorry and Brogy, transforming them into monstrous slaves who are now immortal and stronger than ever before.

Given that Dorry and Brogy now stand beside Imu as his top lieutenants, it’s quite evident who will face them off, and that would be Zoro and Sanji. These two, Zoro and Sanji, mirror Dorry and Brogy in many ways, and they are also the only ones with enough power to engage Imu’s own strongest subordinates in combat.

It’s no shock to fans that Zoro and Sanji could defeat Dorry and Brogy in a future battle. Once they find a solution to overcome immortality, they’ll stand an equal chance against these powerful opponents, ultimately emerging victorious. The safety of Elbaf is at stake, making it crucial for them to win this battle. Currently, they lack the strength to take down such monsters, but as they grow stronger, they will certainly conquer them. By the end of the Elbaf arc, Zoro and Sanji will have reached a new level of power and are expected to earn bounties far exceeding their current ones, potentially reaching billions.

Beyond this, they should possess a power level that allows them to engage in combat with the Four Emperors and Admirals, albeit not quite matching their strength directly.

In just a week, we’ll be getting our hands on One Piece Chapter 1150! As always, it will be published on a Sunday. For those in Japan, the chapter will go live at 12AM JST on Monday. But don’t worry, most international readers can expect to read it on May 11. The official release date for One Piece Chapter 1150 is set for June 1, 2025.
