The long-awaited return of One Piece is finally here after a brief hiatus, and fans are buzzing with excitement for chapter 1140. The Elbaf arc has captivated audiences, and the arrival of the legendary Scopper Gaban in the previous chapter has only intensified the thrill. With a high-stakes battle on the horizon and unexpected twists in store, this chapter promises to be one of the most exhilarating yet.
A Legendary Battle Begins: Luffy, Zoro, and Nami vs. Scopper Gaban
Luffy’s Mission to Secure Loki’s Chains Scopper Gaban Stands in His Way
One Piece 1140 is set to feature an electrifying showdown between Luffy and Scopper Gaban. In the previous chapter, Gaban made his long-awaited introduction, showcasing his formidable strength despite his old age. Fans quickly realized that he is no ordinary fighter—he stands above even the Giants and ranks alongside legendary figures like Roger and Rayleigh.
This battle is more than just a fight; it is Luffy’s ultimate test. As the successor to the Pirate King’s throne, he must prove his worth against one of the strongest warriors of the past generation. While Rayleigh trained Luffy, it is Gaban who will push him to his absolute limits.
Gaban’s words echo through the battlefield:
"Secrets are made to be spread, young missy!" — Scopper Gaban
However, Luffy isn’t alone in this battle. Zoro and Nami also play critical roles. While neither may match Gaban in strength, their presence changes the dynamics of the fight. Gaban might be capable of taking on all three at once, but their goal isn’t to defeat him outright. Instead, they must impress him and steal the key to Loki’s chains. If Gaban doesn’t unleash his full power, this task might be possible—but it won’t be easy.
Luffy Unleashes Gear 5 Against Gaban’s Monstrous Haki
Luffy Needs His Strongest Form Gaban’s Power Commands Respect
Luffy will have no choice but to unleash Gear 5 in One Piece 1140. Overpowering Gaban without using his full strength is nearly impossible. Gaban isn’t just another opponent; he belongs to the same legendary class as Roger, Rayleigh, Garp, and Sengoku. Even in his old age, he remains a force to be reckoned with, proving once again that experience often outweighs youth in the One Piece world.
Gaban’s challenge is clear:
"If you want the key, you'll have to get past me first." — Scopper Gaban
Luffy’s Gear 5 is the only way he stands a chance. Whether he taps into it in this chapter or the next, his transformation is inevitable. Meanwhile, Zoro will unleash his most powerful attacks to force Gaban into a vulnerable position, though it will ultimately be Luffy who leads the charge.
Scopper Gaban, however, is not to be underestimated. His battle prowess and mastery of Haki make him one of the most dangerous fighters in the series. The intensity of the battle will depend on whether he uses his signature axes. In the previous chapter, he held only the key—suggesting that he wasn’t in full combat mode. If he wields his weapons, Luffy and Zoro will face an even greater challenge.
Additionally, One Piece 1140 could showcase Gaban’s Conqueror’s Haki, a moment fans have long anticipated. While Luffy and Zoro keep him occupied, Nami may ultimately be the one to steal the key, proving her skills as the ultimate cat burglar.
Shamrock Figarland’s Next Move: Summoning Another Holy Knight
Shamrock Takes Action The Battle for Elbaf Intensifies
One Piece 1140 is expected to shift focus to Shamrock Figarland as well. Missing in the previous chapter, he is likely planning his next big move. He aims to summon another Holy Knight to Elbaf, an essential step in evening the odds against Luffy’s crew. Facing an entire nation and a Yonko crew, reinforcements are necessary to maintain his influence.
Meanwhile, another major event is likely to unfold—the attack on the Walrus School by Gunko. This could be linked to Shamrock’s previous hints about a mass kidnapping. If this plan unfolds, the peace-loving children of the new generation may be captured. However, Collun, a key figure, could step up and play a major role in their rescue.
The One Piece storyline is reaching a fever pitch, with fans eagerly awaiting the next chapter’s surprises. Oda’s storytelling never disappoints, and the next few chapters are bound to keep readers on the edge of their seats.
