Chapter 1173 of One Piece, titled “Warrior Generation,” takes the action on Elbaph to new heights. Alongside thrilling battles, the truth about Gunko’s identity and the appearance of a devastating attack have left fans stunned.
Zoro and the hilarious clash between two giant captains
The chapter opens with Zoro showing off his skills by leaping onto the heads of giant warriors controlled by Domi Reversi to free them. However, the highlight is the confrontation between Zoro and the legendary duo Brogy and Dorry.
In a comical twist, instead of hitting Zoro, the two giant captains accidentally strike each other. This unexpected collision leaves not only Zoro but everyone watching completely shocked.
A bloody past: Is Gunko the “Princess Who Killed Her Father”?
The focus of this chapter is on Brook and Gunko. The Rock King surprises everyone by revealing Gunko’s real name as Princess Shuri (or Sherry), a royal family member with distinctive blue hair and heterochromatic eyes.
Even more heartbreaking, Brook calls her the “Princess Who Killed Her Father.” The victim was Brook’s greatest benefactor, Onjin, who held influence over him comparable to Shanks’ impact on Luffy. Faced with Brook’s words, Gunko begins to waver and regain her memories. But her brief moment of clarity is cut short when Imu intervenes, taking control of her mind. Gunko snaps back and prepares to attack Brook, shouting for him to run immediately.
Nami’s group escapes, Sanji arrives just in time
Thanks to Gunko’s brief return to her senses, her arrow ability is nullified, allowing Nami’s group to break free from their bonds. At that moment, Sanji arrives to support his teammates. However, the situation remains tense as Robin is still completely restrained by Sommer’s thorny ropes.
Devastating team attack
Elsewhere, the giant warriors Gerd, Goldberg, and Road deliver an impressive coordinated attack. Instead of the usual “Two Generals” move, Road’s involvement creates the “Three Generals: Roaring Nation.” This powerful strike rivals the classic “Dominion” attack by Brogy and Dorry, targeting the monstrous MMA “My Mother.”
Sommer faces a dramatic turn
At the chapter’s end, MMA “My Mother” falls directly onto Sommer. Despite Sommer’s efforts to push it away, the impact destroys the transport ship holding the kidnapped children hostage. This causes Sommer to lose control and exclaim, “Damn it…!!!” His panic hints at unpredictable developments in upcoming chapters.
A new chapter arrives next week, and the journey on the island of giants continues to heat up!
