One Piece is generating buzz with the anticipated Chapter 1143 spoilers, which hint at pivotal developments involving the Holy Knights and Loki’s strategic maneuvers against Elbaph. Reliable sources have hinted that this upcoming chapter will delve into unexpected plot twists that will surely captivate fans.
Interestingly, the spoilers suggest that Loki is taken down quite easily after receiving what has been described as a “weak blow”from Luffy. Moreover, Chapter 1143 will unveil the unique abilities of the Holy Knights’ Devil Fruits, confirming a fan theory that has circulated since their introduction.
Loki Reveals His Motivations for King Harald’s Death
The chapter opens with the intriguing title, reportedly “God’s Knight,” which may be translated in English as “Holy Knight,” aligning with the official nomenclature for the group. Fans can also look forward to the issue’s cover story featuring the Straw Hat crew engaging in a whimsical race on flying fish, which appears to be a nod to fan requests.
The narrative kicks off with the revelation that Saint Shepherd Sommers has consumed the Iba Iba no Mi, or Thorn-Thorn Fruit. This fruit allegedly allows him to inflict pain on those who touch targets he has chosen, with the severity of the pain depending on the depth of the target’s affection for the chosen subject. However, it remains unclear whether the thorns’ intensity is contingent on their quantity or their emotional significance.
Following this, we gain insight into the abilities of Saint Rimoshifu Killingham, who wields the Dragon-Dragon Fruit, Model: Qilin. While the Japanese name of the fruit is not disclosed, it is noted that its power lies in manifesting objects from the dreams of individuals. These developments appear to occur while the Holy Knights partake in a meal in the forest, shifting the spotlight onto their characters.
The narrative reveals an amusing moment when Sommers dreams of salt, which leads to Killingham putting him to sleep. In a surprising twist, Killingham draws the salt from Sommers’ dream, demonstrating that the Dragon-Dragon Fruit can be utilized for various both mundane and extraordinary functions. This also implies that Killingham has been the one responsible for lulling the Elbaphian children into slumber, as well as for conjuring the monsters they had sketched earlier.
As the chapter progresses, we return to the Underworld, where Loki faces off against Luffy and his allies. In a dramatic moment, Luffy delivers a punch that, although described as weak, results in Loki fainting. Observing this, Zoro points out that Loki’s bravado has masked his near-fatal condition. Following this, Luffy urges Gerd to provide Loki with medical assistance. Hesitant at first, Gerd relents and decides to help him. Flashbacks reveal a history of bullying from Loki towards Hajrudin since childhood.
Hajrudin expresses a desire for vengeance regarding their father’s death and contemplates avenging the murder, despite Gerd’s attempts to care for him. As the chapter nears its conclusion, Loki awakens and cryptically reveals to Hajrudin that he had no intention of killing their father, hinting at a deeper mystery that compelled his actions.
