One Piece Chapter 1138 revealed surprising details. While many expected a greater focus on Loki and the two God Saints, the chapter revealed important revelations about the history of the One Piece , including an important mural recording crucial historical events.

- Tokyo Ghoul: Event brings together cast and artists in Tokyo
Among these revelations are the enigmatic Harley Texts , composed of three obscure sections. Although these texts speak in riddles, many of their meanings can be understood through side stories and dialogue throughout the series. Interestingly, these texts are considered forbidden by the World Government.
The eternal cycle and the conflict between gods
Chapter 1138 confirms a long-held theory: One Piece world is trapped in an eternal cycle, the third cycle. According to Vegapunk , the current world was built on the ruins of an advanced civilization destroyed by a global flood.
The Harley Texts describe events from previous cycles. Act One tells of the eternal flame, possibly a primitive version of the Mother Flame , and the birth of the Sun God. This power generated intense human desires, leading to enslavement and, eventually, the emergence of the Sun God legend.
The Second Act chronicles the resurgence of the Sun God and the origin of the Devil Fruits, nurtured by the Forest God. It also addresses the rise of the Gorosei and the World Government after defeating Joy Boy, who is associated with the Sun God.
Finally, Act Three represents the present, a world plunged into chaos, disconnected from previous cycles. The information vacuum symbolizes the lost century, while the return of the Sun God will mark the climax of this saga.
What to expect from chapter 1138?
Therefore, with the official release date of February 2, 2025, the chapter will focus on Shamrock Figarland and Gunko , following their failure to recruit Loki. Given the weight of Harley's Texts and Elbaf's mural, there's a good chance Luffy will rescue Loki, who may join the Straw Hat crew.
