Are we on the verge of witnessing Brook announce Luffy as the one who will become the Pirate King?
One Piece Chapter 1147 Early Spoilers
In the last One Piece chapter, the Holy Knights overpower the Straw Hats and Giants, exposing themselves as immortals and seemingly connected to the late King of Elbaph, Harald.
Chapter 1147 is titled, “Things That We Fear”
The title resembles Chapter 1142, which concluded with Gunko revealing that Nika was his deepest fear. Will Luffy encounter Gunko in this chapter?
We are currently on Ogre Child Yamato’s Golden Harvest Surrogate Pilgrimage, Volume 32, where Raizo is seen feeding Yamato after his victory over Who’s-Who. Is Yamato enjoying some oden?
The chapter presents a flashback of the events that occurred prior to Sommers assaulting Robin.
Did this occur offscreen in the previous chapter?
Saul informs Robin that the God Knights possess immortality, suggesting that, similar to Usopp, Saul’s Haki strikes were capable of genuinely obliterating Sommers’ body.
Given that Sommers had the Iba Iba no Mi, there might have been some form of protection we haven’t observed yet, or perhaps Sommers utilized Haki. Or maybe Sommers allowed Saul to find this out to instill a sense of hopelessness in him.
In any case, this verifies what we discovered in the previous chapter through Gunko’s regeneration: that Imu established a contract with all the God’s Knights, granting them immortality, which seems questionable since Figarland Garling still aged.
In any case, Saul instructs Robin and Chopper to conceal themselves within his hair, indicating that this provides the complete context for the final scene of Chapter 1146.
In the Sval, Gunko ensnares the Straw Hats with her arrows and spots Brook, despite him having been attacking her in the previous chapter.
It appears that it required a while for her to identify the skeleton man.
Gunko asserts her authority over Brook and insists that he become her music servant.
This indicates that Gunko fails to truly grasp the music she likes and merely possesses it as a commodity due to her entitlement as a spoiled child, a Celestial Dragon.
Nonetheless, Brook, a member of the Pervert Trio in the Straw Hats, declines as he has pledged his loyalty to Luffy.
Envision this as Brook’s “Luffy will become the Pirate King” scene, similar to Nami and Franky’s recent moment in Wano.
Jinbei searches for a method to overcome Gunko.
In the meantime, Sommers declares that they have taken ten children prisoner, among them Gaban’s son Colon.
It appears that Gunko’s arrow surrounding Colon is designed to direct Colon to their vessel.
World Government Against Education
To liberate them, the Giants need to eliminate Elbaph’s educational institutions and libraries while pledging allegiance to the World Government.
This is among the most treacherous statements ever uttered.
You can observe how education poses a threat to the World Government.
Since the Enies Lobby Arc unveiled the Void Century’s existence, we’ve observed the World Government’s dread of people discovering history that goes beyond their controlled textbooks and media, both of which they regulate and censor.
However, the World Government’s direct focus on education to develop compliant Giant mercenaries has further diminished their stature.
Mother Carmel had been their source of trafficked Giant children, and now that she is absent, they have lost their edge over the world. This indicates that Imu and God’s Knights are indeed desperate, and that Harald, despite being allied with the World Government, was secretly offering hope to the citizens of Elbaph.
This renders Loki’s connection to Harald’s death even more questionable, since up to now he has not openly criticized Harald or his changes.
The chapter concludes with Robin standing alongside Gaban as they confront Sommers, determined not to allow the Government to escape unpunished for such a wicked act.
Because of Golden Week, One Piece will have a break next week.
One Piece Chapter 1148 is set to be released on May 4, 2025.
