Chapter 1152 of One Piece is brimming with emotional flashbacks, shocking revelations, and the beloved chaos that fans adore. This installment features Zoro's awakening of Conqueror’s Haki and delves into Shanks’ haunting past in Elbaf, marking a pivotal moment in the climax of the Egghead arc.
Zoro’s Conqueror’s Haki Confirmed
The chapter kicks off with a light-hearted cover story, showcasing Yamato gifting Kawamatsu a handmade hat from Otama. However, the mood swiftly shifts during an unexpected conversation between Luffy and Gaban. The former member of the Roger Pirates emphasizes that the Gorosei are not infallible and urges Luffy to enhance his Conqueror’s Haki.
In a surprising twist, Gaban discloses that more than one Straw Hat possesses this powerful ability. Sanji lights up at the prospect, but Gaban turns to Zoro, confirming his mastery of the Haki. Luffy, unfazed, hints that he has always recognized this potential in his first mate.
Luffy’s Outrageous Plan: Recruit Loki?!
In true Luffy fashion, the tension dissolves with a hilariously absurd proposal. While Hajrudin refuses to release Loki, Luffy suggests recruiting him into the Straw Hat crew. If Loki agrees to join, Hajrudin must let him go.
This idea sparks an uproar, with Loki, Hajrudin, Zoro, and Sanji vehemently objecting, creating a comedic standoff that perfectly captures the essence of One Piece.
Shanks and the “Bad Day” at Elbaf
The most significant revelation unfolds in Gaban’s flashback to Elbaf, 14 years ago, during a tumultuous event known as the “Bad Day.” Gaban, Shanks, and others find themselves amidst a political and personal upheaval. The memory begins with Loki discovering King Harald, stabbed by his own men after confronting him about his alliance with the World Government—the very force responsible for the downfall of Rocks D. Xebec.
Shanks, who had a personal bond with King Harald, yearns for one last meeting. Intriguingly, he reflects on a past dream of forming a pirate crew with Buggy but ultimately could not fulfill it. Gaban cryptically responds, “Because you’re the child chosen by fate.”
Most intriguingly, Shanks is depicted bearing a mysterious mark of the Abyss, a symbol linked to the Gorosei’s teleportation powers. Meanwhile, a shadowy figure seizes a legendary Devil Fruit amid the chaos in Elbaf.
Young Harald the Conqueror
As the chapter concludes, readers are transported 109 years into the past, witnessing a young and fierce Harald laying waste to a human kingdom, further enriching Elbaf’s violent and mythical history.
Next week promises even more revelations as the lore of Elbaf and the dynamics of the Straw Hats continue to unfold!
