that one piece The manga returns this week with chapter 1177, and fans are very excited to see what Eiichiro Oda has to deliver after his short hiatus. The epic battle of Warland finally begins as Zoro and the Giants prepare to face the demon army created by Imu, and Sanji goes head-to-head with Saint Killingham of the Holy Knights. The Elbaf arc is getting incredibly intense, and things are only going to get hotter in the future.
3 Yonko level female characters from One Piece
There are many strong female characters in One Piece, but only a few of them are at the Yonko level.
The reason Zoro led the battle against the Domi River City Army
upcoming chapter one piece There will definitely be a lot of focus on Roronoa Zoro and the Giants with him. In the previous chapter, Dori and Broggy were successfully rescued after cutting off each other's heads, and now they have joined Zoro in the battle against the Domi Reversi Giants. Both Dorry and Brogy are incredibly powerful and will be of great help in the battles ahead. Hajrudin and Stansen are also there, these two powerful pirates will certainly leave their own mark. They are all led by Zoro, the swordsman of the Straw Hat Pirates, and Zoro is sure to get a big moment in the battle against the Domi Reversi Giants.
For the most part, this battle will be a warm-up exercise as Zoro will have to learn how to properly use the Conqueror's Haki. Domi Reversi Giants serve as the perfect punching bag for him. Especially since they are immortal and will continue to regenerate unless they take a fatal blow. One Piece Chapter 1177 will definitely focus on this and bring out Zoro's true power. At the same time, Dorry and Brogy, who have been largely underwhelmed in the arc so far despite having huge bounties on their heads, are also set to play important roles, and fans absolutely can't wait to see it.
How Loki and Luffy face Immu
Zoro's battle with the demon army is certainly interesting, but what most fans want to see is Luffy and Loki fighting against Immu. At this time, the two sides did not make contact, but Loki was seen bursting into the scene and rushing towards Immu. One Piece Chapter 1177 is expected to develop this plot further and is where fans are most interested at the moment.
So you've always been there, Nidhogg! —Imu
It must be remembered that Imu immediately recognized Nidhogg from the Void Century, and for the first time knew where Nidhogg was. Judging by the way Imu spoke, it seemed like Nidhogg had been their ally before. Therefore, Imu may have evil plans against Loki and use him as a weapon against Elbaph to destroy the nation. At this point this makes a lot of sense. Because there is definitely no major threat in the Elbaph arc.
One Piece Chapter 1177 saw Luffy and Loki face off against Immu, with the latter turning Loki against the nation, completely crushing all the hopes fans had been building up over the last few chapters. It's also important to remember that Oda has been setting up a Luffy vs. Loki battle from the very beginning of this arc. Furthermore, there are parallels between Luffy and Loki that need to be completed, as the only person who could have stopped Loki in the past was Shanks. If Luffy can do this, he will be on the same level as the legendary red-haired Yonko. This change may not happen in the next chapter, but it's definitely something that Oda will build on in One Piece Chapter 1177.
Sanji's battle VS Paladin Killingham in progress
It is highly likely that attention will be focused on Sanji in the upcoming One Piece chapter as well. As we saw in the last chapter, Sanji has already battled the Holy Knight Killingham, and it's sure to be a very exciting battle. This is Sanji's first full-scale battle in One Piece since defeating the Queen, making it a very exciting challenge for him. In One Piece Chapter 1177, Sanji will be seen fighting against Saint Killingham, and with his superior strength, he will surely easily overpower him.
The problem is that Sanji doesn't know how to combat the immortality of these monsters. The only way to do this is to utilize the King of Hockey, but he doesn't have access to that at the moment. But that doesn't mean Sanji can't get Conqueror's Haki. He is one of the first to be able to gain this power, and this battle will serve as training for him and help him awaken the power of Haki the Conqueror.
One Piece: All Forms of Luffy, Design Ranking
Luffy has acquired many powerful forms that come in all sorts of strange shapes and sizes, some looking much better than others.

It's clear his ability to come to Killingham and make his dreams come true will play a huge part in this fight. Killingham can bring dreams and even nightmares to life, and Sanji's biggest nightmares are tied to himself and his family. So this sets up another Germa conflict for Sanji to fight through, and perhaps brings about the Conqueror's Haki in the most interesting way. Fans absolutely cannot wait for Sanji vs. Killingham, and the upcoming chapters will definitely build on it in a phenomenal way.

Assessment of the scale of the Elbaf war
Overall, the war in Elbaf is progressing at a rapid pace. With all the build-up chapters already over, it's time for the main battle to begin. Currently, Elbaf appears to be divided into three parts. The first part focuses on the Domi Reversi Giants and Zoro is the highlight of this part. He will certainly take on them and purify them one by one, but when Sommers returns to the scene, he will face obstacles that may take him out of the battle against the giants and leave him to the likes of Hajrudin, Stanssen, Dory and Brogy.
The second part of the arc focuses on Sanji and the Straw Hats. Sanji is a saint. While fighting Killingham, the other Straw Hats will be fighting MMA. Currently, the Straw Hats are running rampant in Elbaf. Libraries and schools will also be saved, which is also very exciting!
The third part will focus on Luffy and Loki, and it's easy to say that this is the most interesting part of the arc. This is likely what Oda will focus on after taking care of everything else, but it's also where the arc's main threat comes from, especially if Loki gets Domi Reversed. It seems like everything is gearing up for the arc's phenomenal finale, and fans are absolutely eager to see how Oda develops the story this year and what a shock he brings when he returns.
One Piece Chapter 1177 will be available to read on Manga Plus on March 22, 2026.
