This article contains spoilers from One Chapter 1124, titled Best Friend, by Eiichiro Oda.

Today saw the release of One Piece chapter 1124, and it kicked off the Elbaf arc just before a break week. This latest One Piece chapter delved into some thrilling material, but compared to usual, the intensity was relatively low due to the approach towards the early stages of Elbaf.

At the beginning of a new arc, Oda always makes sure that he gives the story time to build up and get more intense, and at the same time, explores the new location that he introduces in his story. Elbaf is going to be similar, especially because the Strawhat Pirates have not yet reached the island that they want to be at. As a result, One Piece chapter 1124 was of a rather slow pace, but at the same time, it stoked the excitement of the fans quite a bit.

The Aftermath Of The Egghead War Was Finally Shown

  • Kizaru Is In Tears

Chapter 1124 of One Piece opens with the post-conflict situation on Egghead Island. Despite not being a traditional ‘win or lose’ war, it was certainly destructive, as the entire island was ablaze. The narrative then shifted towards the repercussions of the World Government’s large-scale attack on Egghead. Given the scale of this conflict, they expected tangible outcomes. However, the Government seemed to falter in their mission to eliminate Vegapunk, as while Stella was killed, Lilith survived. This suggests that the Government’s objectives were not fully achieved.

However, there are some benefits for them as well. Firstly, York now holds the Government’s power, diligently serving them and potentially producing more Motherflame for them. Second, the plant required to generate Motherflame remains undamaged, allowing York to continue creating it for the Government, thus speeding up the activation of Ancient Weapon Uranus. The Government may be content with their outcomes from this conflict, but let’s not forget that things didn’t go entirely smoothly for them. In this chapter, readers got a closer look at Akainu and his focus on Egghead to understand the aftermath of the Haki blast.

To his surprise, nobody answered the call, until Kizaru finally stepped in. While Akainu wanted to blast him for his failures, the latter would not have it. Kizaru was seen as emotional for the very first time in One Piece, and it was certainly a shock for the fans as well. The fact that he had to kill his best friend was certainly hard on him, and fans did get to see him cry on multiple occasions secretly throughout the arc. However, at the end of the day, he remained a lapdog of the Government and decided not to act against those at the top. Instead of helping his best friend, he decided to murder him, and is now dealing with the consequences. Kizaru lashed out at Sakazuki, telling him that he was being a brat, and that he should watch his mouth about how he speaks, which, surprisingly, led to Sakazuki apologizing to him.

If you have time to sit there and doubt me, then come over here and see my work for yourself, you ungrateful brat! – Kizaru

On their voyage from Egghead to Elbaf, the Strawhat Pirates carried on, while the Warland remained in anticipation. The upcoming events on this island promise excitement, but for now, a sense of dreariness hung over both ships in this chapter.

Luffy And The Straw Hats Accept Their Failure

A notable occurrence in chapter 1124 of “One Piece” was the Straw Hat Pirates acknowledging their shortcomings. Their mission has always been to rescue Stella from the island; however, Luffy, who had pledged to save him, ultimately fell short.

The only one they managed to save was Lilith, and she certainly is alive, which, for them, is a silver lining, but the others ended up sacrificing themselves one by one, which was certainly not planned. Being a Yonko, letting five people die is something that felt like a failure to him, which is why the atmosphere was quite gloomy.

I couldn’t save the apple-head man, even though I’m a Yonko now. – Luffy

1. In One Piece, Luffy values every friend deeply, regardless of their identity, and he is prepared to battle tirelessly for them. If he falls short, he often spends time alone in contemplation. For instance, during chapter 1124, Luffy wept upon learning about Vegapunk’s death, but his sorrow was momentarily lifted when Lilith awoke. By the end of the chapter, it became clear to the Straw Hat Pirates that they had not failed their mission since Lilith was still alive, which suggested that Vegapunk had lived through the ordeal.

Of course, Stella is dead, but it doesn’t matter because there are more than one body of Vegapunk in the story, and this simply means that the goal of the Straw Hat Pirates is essentially met.

Following this point, festivities commenced in chapter 1124 of One Piece, as Luffy was freed, leading to a grand feast. The Giants’ Land expanded further, with its inhabitants eagerly anticipating the arrival of the Straw Hat crew. Particularly looking forward is Nico Robin, yearning to meet Saul once more, and undoubtedly, their reunion promises to be thrilling.

While the Straw Hat Pirates held a massive banquet on the ship of the Giants, a mysterious figure awaited their arrival in Elbaf. This figure was covered in a silhouette, and fans don’t know who exactly he was. All they could tell was this person wore a hat on his head, and had a bottle of a drink in his hand. His words were meant for the Strawhats, asking them to come, which means that he is expecting them to arrive there anytime now. Of course, this individual is certainly not Saul, as the silhouette looks to be that of a human instead of a giant. Fans don’t know who this character is, but it could be anyone, starting with Scopper Gaban, or characters such as Yorki.

A potential candidate for this enigmatic character could be the Golden Lion Shiki. The range of possibilities surrounding him is vast, leaving fans eagerly anticipating his revelation. His significance within Elbaf, as well as the direction of the Elbaf Arc, remains a mystery that will take some time to unfold.

Sadly, there will be no new chapter of “One Piece” next week as Oda is due for a much-needed vacation. This delay in the storyline means that we’ll have to wait longer for the Straw Hat Pirates’ anticipated arrival on Elbaf.

You can access “One Piece” through Viz Media, where fans can read the series legally and without charge on both the Shonen Jump and Manga Plus app. The upcoming chapter of “One Piece,” One Piece 1125, is scheduled for release on September 8, 2024.
