This article contains spoilers from One Piece’s Final Saga.

The 1158th chapter of “One Piece” left fans spellbound, with numerous reasons to celebrate, as the narrative seems to be on the brink of delving into the God Valley Incident. To add to the surprise, in a recent cover story for “One Piece,” Oda unveiled an unexpected new interpreter of Poneglyphs, although not explicitly so.

In simpler terms, the recently unveiled Poneglyph reader in One Piece Chapter 1158 is none other than Gecko Moria, or Kozuki Moria, as revealed by his ties to the Kozuki clan of Wano. This development is set to significantly impact the storyline during the Final Saga, particularly since the Yonko are gearing up for a major conflict over the coveted One Piece treasure.

Moria Is Confirmed To Be From The Kozuki Clan

  • The Kozuki clan can read Poneglyphs
  • Moria is related to Kozuki Oden

In the main feature of One Piece chapter 1158, the creator of One Piece, Eiichiro Oda, officially disclosed that Moria, a former member of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, is actually a kin of the Kozuki family. This was made clear when Yamato visited the grave of a deceased samurai in Ringo, and it turned out that the name on the tombstone belonged to Kozuki Moria. It’s worth noting that Moria isn’t really dead; instead, the people of Wano probably believe he is. In actuality, he found a way to survive, and he purloined the corpses of Shusui and Ryuma from Wano before he left the country for good.

The fascinating detail unveiled here is that Kozuki Moria has the ability to read Poneglyphs, given his lineage within the Kozuki family. It’s important to recall that the Kozuki clan was responsible for creating the Poneglyphs during the Void Century. Only members of the Kozuki clan can both write and read these ancient texts, and they all possess this unique ability. To clarify, Kozuki Sukiyaki is capable of reading and writing Poneglyphs. Notably, Oden possessed both abilities, while Momonosuke and Hiyori are currently being tutored by Sukiyaki in this skill as well. Therefore, since all members of the Kozuki clan can read Poneglyphs, Moria has now officially joined their ranks as a reader.

What Moria’s Poneglyph Reading Ability Means For One Piece

Moria Will Join The Cross Guild

In simple terms, Moria’s ability to read the Poneglyphs is a significant development for the Final Saga of “One Piece.” This skill not only potentially links him to Oden as a brother or cousin, but it also sets him up for a substantial role in the story.

Recently, Moria was rescued at Pirate Island by Perona and Koby. Now that he’s free, he will likely seek protection, and that protection can only be provided by one person – Buggy. It is predicted that Moria will soon join the Cross Guild, which means Buggy will now have a Poneglyph reader among his crew members.

Buggy has ambitious plans to pursue the One Piece, and Moria’s unique ability to decipher Poneglyphs will be crucial for him in this endeavor.

In this coming week, the latest chapter of One Piece will be released! As always, the manga is scheduled to come out on Sunday. However, in Japan, it’ll be available at midnight on Monday (Japan Standard Time). For most international readers, though, they can expect to access the new chapter on August 31st. That’s right, the official release date for One Piece Chapter 1158 is August 31, 2025! Excitingly, fans can enjoy reading this chapter absolutely free on Manga Plus!
