Extinguishing the Ragnir Blaze
Chapter 1145 underscores the perilous nature of Elbaf, particularly its vulnerability to fire. The struggle of the Giants to control the flames ignited by the Ragnir strike illustrates this danger poignantly. Jinbe heroically stepped in to quench the inferno using his signature Kairyu Ipponzai, showcasing his strength and resolve while saving the children from impending doom.
As Robin and Chopper rejoiced over Jinbe’s timely intervention, the threats of kidnapping still loomed large. The children are still vulnerable as they approach the coast where kidnappers plot to hold them for ransom, challenging the Giants and their allies to act quickly to secure their safety and ensure the future of Elbaf.

With Gunko facing six members of the Straw Hat crew, including Nami, Usopp, Chopper, Robin, Brook, and Jinbe, the stakes couldn’t be higher.
This impending clash hints at a fierce encounter, though fans will have to exercise patience as One Piece takes a brief hiatus. The fate of Collun and the Straw Hat crew hangs in the balance, building anticipation for chapter 1146.
