The Reunion in Elbaf
The recently released brief spoilers for One Piece chapter 1132 indicate that the chapter will kick off with a much-anticipated reunion. According to these spoilers, shared by Pew, the Straw Hats, including Luffy, will arrive at the village located in the heart of Elbaf. This village is presumably the one Zoro and the others were crossing the rope bridge to reach, as well as the location directly above Loki, where the key to his freedom is located.
A Shocking Encounter
Upon their arrival, the Straw Hats witness the aftermath of a confrontation, with Road being defeated by Gerd and Goldberg. While the spoilers do not elaborate on the details, it is likely that Road recognized the Straw Hats and attempted to attack them again, prompting his crewmates to turn on him. Following this intense moment, everyone is seen marveling at the breathtaking scenery of Elbaf, with narration emphasizing the island's grandeur.
A Warning from the Explorer
The chapter concludes with a note from Louis Arnote, an explorer known for his accounts of the island of Little Garden and the origin of its name in the in-series book Brag Men. In this issue, Arnote warns readers not to linger too long in the island nation of Elbaf. The final shot of the chapter features a mysterious silhouette walking through the woods of Elbaf, hinting at potential dangers lurking in the shadows.
Upcoming Release Schedule
In addition to the exciting content of chapter 1132, Pew has confirmed that there is no scheduled break following its official release on Monday, December 2, 2024, in Japan. This means fans can look forward to at least two consecutive chapters, suggesting that mangaka Eiichiro Oda is returning to his regular release schedule of three chapters followed by a break. This timing aligns perfectly with the upcoming Christmas holiday and the publication breaks from Shueisha.
