One Piece chapter 1152 spoilers: One Piece chapter 1152 is highly anticipated, and just like always, spoilers have surfaced ahead of the official release. This time, fans can expect major drama surrounding Zoro's Conqueror's Haki, along with a compelling flashback toward the end. Here's a look at all the speculation and what to expect from the upcoming chapter. One Piece chapter 1152 spoilers As per online data the title is 'Terrible Day'. Gaban reveals that the Holy Knights aren't unbeatable, which means Luffy needs to strengthen his Conqueror's Haki. He also mentions that more than one Straw Hat crew member possesses this power. While Sanji assumes Gaban is referring to him, it's actually Zoro that Gaban addresses. Luffy was already aware that Zoro possesses the Conqueror's Haki. Meanwhile, Hajrudin refuses to release Loki, but Luffy proposes that Loki join his crew believing this would compel Hajrudin to let him go. However, Loki, Hajrudin, Zoro, and Sanji all disagree with Luffy's idea. Gaban then reveals to the group Luffy, Loki, and Hajrudin, that he and Shanks were present in Elbaph during the events of that fateful day. #ONEPIECE1152 #OPSPOILERS BRIEF SPOILERS FOR ONEPIECE CHAPTER 1152 BY ME The chapter then shifts into a flashback.

One Piece finally reveals who's stronger between Zoro and Sanji – Oda ends the debate in Elbaf arc
credit - toei animation Well, One Piece creator Eiichiro Oda has finally settled one of the series' most contentious arguments once and for all: Who is stronger, Zoro or Sanji? With the addition of new scenes from the Elbaf arc and introduction of key characters such as Scopper Gaban, the answer is now obvious and it isn't who's better, but rather they're equal. Zoro vs. Sanji: The rivalry that defined the straw hat crew Whether or not you're already an One Piece fan, you've definitely at least heard of Zoro and Sanji—two of the series' most powerful and popular characters. Zoro is the colossally cool swordsman who wants to be the world's greatest, and Sanji is the high-kicking foodie with a heart of gold. Both of them take the place of Luffy's top fighters and have been friendly rivals since their crews' earliest days. For years, fans have speculated and argued over who would win in a fight. Zoro typically gets to fight the strongest enemy's #2 and Sanji the #3 at the end of an arc. That difference doesn't tell the full story and now, the most recent arc has made it official, they're equals. Elbaf arc reveals: Zoro and Sanji put their lives on the line for Luffy During the ongoing Elbaf arc, it was Sanji and Zoro who endangered their lives to save Luffy. In the midst of that deadly standoff, Luffy found himself ensnared by one such 'bomb bubble', an explosive eddy proboscis that would have badly hurt or flat out killed our hero. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với mức chênh lệch giá thấp nhất IC Markets Đăng ký Undo Without a moment's thought, Zoro jumped in the way, taking the damage himself to protect Luffy. This was the arc of Sanji's own sacrifice. X-Drake fought it though—unlike in an earlier battle, where he deliberately walked into a trap to save Luffy, fully aware that the trap would kill him. These moments weren't merely heroic—they were indicative of how far both men will go to protect their quarterback. As the final battle between the two started, fans witnessed how their loyalty and strength was reflected in each other's moves that proved Zoro and Sanji were more than just fighters. They are protectors, equals, and pillars of the Straw Hat crew. Oda Confirms it: Zoro and Sanji are equals, not rivals During the events of Chapter 1151, Oda first introduced us to Scopper Gaban, an important member of Pirate King Gol D. Roger's crew. Gaban is rumored to be on the same level as Rayleigh, who was Roger's right-hand man. Gaban goes so far as to lay claim to being the second strongest on the crew, implying he and Rayleigh were on the same level. This is significant because Gaban is mostly accepted by fans as a counterpart to Sanji, while Rayleigh has been compared to Zoro for years. What Oda is explicitly telling us here is that Zoro and Sanji are the modern day Gaban and Rayleigh—two strong fighters who are equal, both beside each other and above each other. Giant warrior parallels: Zoro and Sanji are like Dorry and Brogy The warrior giants Dorry and Brogy, who have been fighting for over 100 years without a winner, are one of the biggest returning throwbacks in the Elbaf arc. All the way back during the Little Garden arc, Zoro and Sanji were initially pitted against them, standing in for a rivalry that will never really come to a close with a definitive victor. We need to reference the Fisherman Island manga arc again, because Oda has now doubled down on that comparison between Zoro and Sanji being like Dorry and Brogy. Rivals in spirit, but equals in strength. Now that the Final Saga of One Piece is in full swing, each crew member's impact has become essential as the story escalates in stakes and intensity. Where they once operated largely as comic relief and functioned mostly in the periphery of the story, Zoro and Sanji have since become Luffy's right and left hands, ever on guard, literally in between him and danger at all times. In such a world, Imu, the Holy Knights and the World Government in general are stronger than ever. Now Oda is really driving it home — from a strength perspective and a story perspective, Zoro and Sanji are equally important to Luffy's journey. When does One Piece chapter 1151 release? One Piece Chapter 1151 officially releases on June 8, 2025. US and UK readers should be able to catch the chapter for free on Manga Plus on Saturday night or early Sunday, depending on your time zone. Oda's message is clear—Zoro and Sanji stand together Whether you've always cheered for Zoro's pure strength or Sanji's swift, kick-based elegance, the fact is officially set in stone. Oda doesn't want the fans pitting them against each other, treating them like rivals rather than comrades. Their recent displays during Elbaf, along with the strong similarities to legends such as Rayleigh and Gaban, confirm that Zoro and Sanji are indeed two irreplaceable warriors of the Straw Hat Pirates. So the next time somebody asks who's stronger, answer like this: 'They both are. Check out our list of the latest Hindi , English , Tamil , Telugu , Malayalam , and Kannada movies .

It looks like Netflix's live-action adaptation of One Piece is charting a course into uncharted waters. Netflix has announced that Season 2 of One Piece will be released in 2026, this time, one of the most popular characters from the anime is finally joining the diverse crew — Tony Tony Chopper. Fury of the Gods, Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3), has been cast as the voice of Chopper, but will serve as the facial motion capture for the adorable half-reindeer, half-human doctor. Who is Tony Tony Chopper? Tony Tony Chopper is one of the key crew members aboard the Straw Hat Pirates, under the leadership of the adventurous and stretchy rubber monster pirate Monkey D. Luffy. Chopper is a reindeer who consumed the Human-Human Fruit, which gives him the power to speak, walk on two legs, and even change into various forms. Tasked with the care of humans and AI alike, he becomes the crew's doctor, and a favorite for his sweet persona and even sweeter heart. In the anime and manga, Chopper first joins the crew during the Drum Island arc, which Season 2 should be covering. Mikaela Hoover brings Chopper to life in Netflix's One Piece Netflix's upcoming live-action One Piece series will have some sort of similar direction, with Castlevania and Suicide Squad actress Mikaela Hoover not only voicing Chopper but performing facial snap too, adding emotional nuance to the CG character. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo The casting announcement came during Netflix's worldwide Tudum fan event from the original series' returning members, including Iñaki Godoy (Luffy), Mackenyu (Zoro), Emily Rudd (Nami), Jacob Romero (Usopp), and Taz Skylar (Sanji). This choice of character design is a strong indication of Netflix's willingness to make sure Castor is an expressive character and one that remains devoted to his anime origins. One Piece season 2 expands its star-studded cast In addition to continuing the epic story set into motion by the first season, the new season will introduce a whole new world of characters and headline-grabbing villains like those from the Baroque Works saga and the Drum Island arc.

Other returning cast members include Ilia Isorelys Paulino (Alvida), Jeff Ward (Buggy), and Michael Dorman (Gol D. Roger). Behind the scenes: One Piece live-action creators The new live-action series, which is a collaboration between Netflix and Tomorrow Studios, is being produced in conjunction with the original manga's Japanese publisher Shueisha. Bud Greenspan, Frank Marshall, Joe Roth, and Matthew McConkey are the executive producers. Eiichiro Oda (mangaka, creator of One Piece) Matt Owens and Joe Tracz (co-showrunners and writers) Marty Adelstein and Becky Clements (Tomorrow Studios) Tetsu Fujimura, Chris Symes & Steven Maeda After the colossal worldwide phenomenon that was Season 1 — it reached No. 1 on Netflix charts in 91 countries, including the United States and the United Kingdom — expectations are sky-high for Season 2, as fans across the globe clamored for more. When will One Piece season 2 be released? Netflix has officially announced that One Piece Season 2 will be released in 2026. No specific release month has been released so far, but the cameras are already rolling. Due to the scale of the CG and motion capture work needed for Chopper, the longer production timeline is warranted. Fans can look forward to new episodes launching exclusively on Netflix around the world in mid to late 2026. First look at Chopper in One Piece season 2 Netflix has provided a first look at Tony Tony Chopper, allowing fans to see how the cutie-patootie hybrid character will look. Though not much has been unveiled yet, the first visual is promising, indicating a true-to-the-source but realistic approach, blending CG with emotional humanity which is due largely to Hoover's motion capture. Netflix's One Piece live-action series is not just another anime adaptation. It's a global event. The adaptation transports one of Japan's most beloved stories to audiences around the world for the first time, and as monumental as a live-action Luffy or Zoro are, actually seeing a CGI Chopper is a huge leap forward. For our newer fans, this will be the season to get invested in epic emotional backstories, new Jumanji islands and cool warrior like battles. For manga readers and longtime anime fans, it's an opportunity to see iconic characters — Chopper! Robin! Crocodile! — in a brand new light.

One Piece: Oda confirms Luffy needs a new power-up stronger than Gear 5 and conqueror's haki
The Final Saga kicks into gear, the Straw Hat captain will have to contend with his most formidable opponent yet—Imu, a god-like king even more powerful than Kaido. One Piece's world is on the brink of its largest climax yet. After more than 25 years of piracy, the saga is entering its Final Saga after all this time, and creator Eiichiro Oda is doing all he can to ensure fans know what's really at stake. In another significant spoiler, Oda admitted that even with the immense powers of Luffy's Gear 5 and his advanced Haki, he will require an even more unrealized potential to beat the order's ultimate villain Imu. One Piece is an internationally beloved, record-breaking manga and anime franchise about the adventures of Luffy, a boy whose body has turned into rubber and who dreams of becoming King of the Pirates. To stay competitive with villains that have come before him, Luffy has been given new powerful transformations and fighting styles, becoming more powerful in every story arc. In this Final Saga, even his strongest forms might not be enough. Luffy reached Yonko-level in wano, but that's still not enough During the Wano Country arc, Luffy was able to take full advantage of Gear 5 once his Devil Fruit had awoken. This transformation provided him with almost cartoon-like liberties in combat, enabling him to contort, extend, and otherwise manipulate the field of play to suit his preferences. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Encontre voos low-cost Voos | Anúncios de Pesquisa Saiba Mais Undo On top of this, he developed the ability to coat his strikes in Conqueror's Haki, a special kind of spiritual energy only the most powerful characters can master. 'This is my peak! This is Gear 5!' — Monkey D. Luffy During the Wano arc of One Piece, he uses these powers to defeat Kaido, the world's strongest creature. With that victory, Luffy became a Yonko himself. He is one of the four empire-building pirates calling the shots in the New World. Now, a much larger menace has come: Imu, the true lord of the world. Imu's power is beyond anything we've seen before When it comes to the main villain of One Piece, I do believe that Imu is almost unlike any other villain fans have gotten in this series. Imu's first major appearance came during the Wano arc earlier this year, in which he's revealed to control the World Government from the shadows and has lived for centuries, perhaps even since the Void Century. In Chapter 1149, fans were treated to a first-hand account of Imu releasing unimaginable powers, all the while manipulating a creature called Gunko. Not only is Imu physically powerful, they possess Conqueror's Haki, can (as we've discussed here) grant others immortality, and might even share powers with the Five Elders—who have all become powerful yokai thanks to dark abilities. 'Allow Mu to show thee the dominance of a God!' — Imu Additionally, it's implied that Imu's powers go beyond the physical and influence the soul, rendering them virtually immune to defeat by outside force. Even Joy Boy, a mythical hero credited with being even stronger than current Luffy, might not have been able to defeat Imu in the past. Gear 5 and haki aren't enough to win the final war If Luffy's ever going to achieve victory, he'll require a lot more than just Gear 5 and Conqueror's Haki. Based on these theories and recent developments as well as Oda's foreshadowing, it seems like Luffy will need to learn or discover new techniques that can affect the soul in order to harm or defeat Imu. This might mean: Mastering Gear 5 deeper, unlocking potential With Mastering Gear 5 deeper, tapping into various new abilities. Better still would be perfecting all three varieties of Haki, namely Observation, Armament, and Conqueror's. Discovering these soul-based attacks might be the key in defeating the immortals Receiving counsel from influential mentors, such as the enigmatic Scopper Gaban who should finally return to help train Luffy Where to read and watch One Piece The new One Piece chapter is serving all that hype as well right now in the Final Saga. Chapter 1151 will come out officially on … June 7, 2025 (Saturday) – for most of the rest of the world Free to read on Manga Plus and Viz Media Fans are looking forward to learning more about Imu, taking a deeper dive into Luffy's training, and even getting a glimpse at the start of his next transformation.
