After a highly anticipated week off, the first details of chapter 1182 have finally dropped. The epic battle at Elbaf is reaching unpredictable heights as the powers of the gods and the fears of the Celestial Dragons begin to surface.
Let’s dive into the most exciting highlights from the upcoming One Piece chapter 1182!
Loki vs Imu: Clash of Supreme Beings
Building on last chapter’s momentum, Loki boldly unleashes his full power against Imu. This chapter confirms that Loki’s weapon, the hammer Ragnir, actually contains the Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit Risu Risu no Mi, Model Ratatoskr (Ice Squirrel). The combination of Loki’s lightning and Ragnir’s freezing power creates stunning wide-area attacks.
Yet Imu remains overwhelmingly superior. He counters with fiery Omen Aura spheres and a new move called Tzitzimitl, named after an Aztec deity. Imu also drops a cryptic line: “Nidhogg is a traitor,” hinting at tangled ancient relationships.
Rain God Zaza: A Nightmare from the Skies
The spotlight of this chapter is on Killingham. After receiving the Omen Aura from Imu, he creates his most powerful MMA yet, fueled by his own nightmare: Zaza, the Rain Goddess.
Visually, Zaza is a four-armed female figure with a transparent body filled with water. She wears a cloak, hat, and veil that hides her face, revealing only haunting eyes. Behind her is a circle symbol similar to those of Imu and Enel. Upon her debut, Zaza demonstrates terrifying power by flooding an entire village in seconds.
What makes Zaza so feared by the Celestial Dragons is that for those living in the sacred sky-high lands, rain falling from above is an extremely strange and frightening phenomenon. Legends of a “monstrous god” who drenches the lower world have become the greatest nightmare for these nobles, rivaling even Nika and the D clan.
Zoro and Sanji Shift Focus to New Targets
After being swiftly defeated by Imu last chapter, Zoro and Sanji have recovered thanks to Chopper’s care, who is also treating Gerd.
Though still injured, Zoro and Sanji have identified new targets. Instead of facing the invincible Imu head-on again, they prepare to battle Killingham and Sommers to stop their child kidnapping scheme. Sommers has also grown stronger, now able to carry a giant ship on his back single-handedly.
Other Notable Developments
At the Owl Library, Robin and Saul discover a secret room filled with precious books. It turns out the owl Biblo cleverly hid them here before the fire broke out.
Regarding Gunko’s fate, Killingham confirms she is dead, a death dismissed by her ruthless comrades.
Next week’s chapter will be on break. One Piece chapter 1183 is scheduled for release on May 24, 2026.
