Elbaf’s Declaration of War: The Truth Comes to Light

After uncovering Loki’s tragic past, the truth behind Harald’s death is also coming to light. It turns out Loki was not the villain the World Government painted him to be, but a tragic hero trapped in a dark political conspiracy.
Faced with this harsh truth, Jarul, Elbaf’s legendary warrior, could no longer stay silent. In chapter 1172, Jarul publicly proclaimed Loki’s innocence to the entire Giant Island and boldly declared war on the World Government. United with the Straw Hats, Loki, and the Elbaf army, this alliance has created immense pressure, forcing the “one who sits on the Empty Throne” to take action personally.

Although Imu is preparing for a direct confrontation, this entity remains extremely cautious. New details confirm Imu will use Gunko as a vessel in battle. Alongside Imu and Gunko are the Holy Knights Sommers and Killingham.
The arrival of these top-tier figures at Elbaf promises one of the most spectacular action sequences in One Piece history. Fans are eagerly counting down the days to witness Imu’s true power, the force that has shaped the world for 800 years.
The Straw Hats Surrounded and Zoro’s Unexpected Plan

The Straw Hats are currently in a dire situation. The opponent’s Domi Reversi technique has completely paralyzed Jinbe, Nami, Robin, and Usopp with Gunko’s arrows. However, a surprising ray of hope has emerged. Brook has somehow broken free from control, which could be the key to rescuing the others.
What has fans most excited is that Zoro is the one who came up with the strategy! Known for his “lost” personality and brute strength fighting style, Zoro claiming to have a plan to counter Domi Reversi without being affected has shocked many fans.
The details of Zoro’s plan and the upcoming clash with Imu will be revealed in chapter 1173.
