Chapter 1161 of One Piece will finally show fans what happened at God Valley. While the previous chapter offered a glimpse, it mostly retold the events of chapter 1096, adding context to information we already had. Now, fans can expect Oda to reveal completely new details about the God Valley war, which is what everyone is excited about. Specifically, chapter 1161 will depict Garp fighting Roger, and Roger trying to reach Shakky.

It seems Roger will be caught up in huge battles with Garp and the Rocks Pirates, meaning he’ll probably need to ask someone else – most likely Rayleigh – to rescue Shakky. We might also see the Rocks Pirates’ captain, Xebec, protecting his family before the main conflicts start. God Valley will likely become a massive battlefield as the Holy Knights fight against incredibly strong pirate crews like Roger’s and Rocks’. Expect to see a lot of familiar faces in these epic clashes, including Scopper Gaban, Rayleigh, Big Mom, Whitebeard, Shiki, Garling, Sommers, and Gunko, and many more.

The Biggest Fight In One Piece’s Elbaf Arc Begins

The most anticipated part of *One Piece* chapter 1161 is undoubtedly the fight between Roger and Rocks. Creator Eiichiro Oda has hinted at this battle for a long time, and fans are excited to finally see it unfold. While both Roger and Rocks currently aim to free slaves, it’s known they will eventually clash. A key point of interest will be discovering what sparks the conflict and why Roger and Garp end up fighting together.

Watching the story unfold, I get the feeling most *One Piece* fans will really want to see Rocks succeed in rescuing his family during this fight, and honestly, that’s what I expect to happen.

Fans are also buzzing about Gunko’s presence in God Valley. Her being there suggests Imu can use her abilities, potentially playing a key role in the battle. Many believe Gunko actually defeated the Rocks Pirates, but the World Government covered it up and gave the credit to Garp to keep Gunko’s powers a secret. Regardless, chapter 1161 of *One Piece* is shaping up to be amazing, and many fans think it could be the best chapter of the year.

One Piece Chapter 1161 is scheduled for release this week, as usual on Sundays. While it becomes available in Japan at midnight on Monday (JST), most international fans will be able to read it on September 28, 2025. The official release date is September 28th, and the chapter will be available to read for free on Manga Plus.
