With the official introduction of Figarland Shamrock as the new leader of the Holy Knightschapter One Piece 1138 will bring new developments for fans. While this shouldn't be the only theme of the upcoming release, One Piece chapter 1138 will likely continue to focus on the conversation between Shamrock and Gunko.
Currently, no reliable spoilers or leaks for chapter 1138 are available. Furthermore, it's worth remembering that spoilers are never guaranteed, considering recent efforts in Japan to eliminate such processes. Despite this, there are narrative elements expected in the next chapter, focusing on the development of the main conflict of the Elbaf Arc, involving the Holy Knights as the antagonists of the plot.
The enemies of the Elbaf arch
Chapter 1138 should begin with Shamrock and Gunko in contact with Mariejois, possibly the Gorosei, or directly Figarland Garling. This conversation should address the status of the mission in Elbaf, revealing that things are not going as planned. This could lead the Gorosei to authorize a change of strategy, possibly ordering a full-scale invasion by the Holy Knights.
This exchange of information should occupy a good portion of the chapter, revealing new details about Shamrock, Garling, and the Figarland family. After the dialogue, Shamrock should suggest the imminent arrival of the other Holy Knights, which will shift the focus to the Romance Trio Dawn and Road at Aurust Castle.
Luffy and the search for King Loki in One Piece 1138
Luffy and his crew must awaken the two giants who were attacked by Shamrock and Gunko. At first, the giants may accuse Luffy of treason, mistaking the Holy Knights for the Straw Hat Pirates. However, Road will have to clarify the situation, explaining that all crew members are properly located.
At this point, Luffy and Road will likely inquire about the key to freeing King Loki, initiating an immediate search. Meanwhile, the focus may return to the party where Sanji and Jinbe, now the group's main fighters, begin to notice Luffy and Zoro's absence.
The arrival of the holy knights
Thus, the chapter could end with a dramatic impact: another lightning bolt striking Aurust Castle, followed by the arrival of the Holy Knights in Elbaf. This scene should intensify the suspense and set the stage for an epic confrontation in the following chapters.
