One Piece chapter 1144 begins with Yamato and Tama Who's Who's gang . Minamoto cries with emotion alongside Tama, while Yamato, now in possession of Yasuie's sword, talks with the girls.
The technological discovery (Franky and Ripley)
In the main story, Franky and Ripley arrive at an enigmatic building, constructed from the remains of a gigantic ancient robot. The upper part of the building resembles the robot's head, and the entire area is surrounded by dense vegetation.
Franky: "What kind of building is that?! It screams 'science' from every angle!!!"
Ripley: "Haha, I knew you, being a cyborg, would be thrilled!"
Franky: "But what is something like this doing in this 'nation of warriors'?!"
Lilith and Bonney emerge from the building to greet them. Bonney remarks that the interior is incredible, while Ripley explains that the robot is over 3,000 years old .
The battle against nightmares in One Piece.
Meanwhile, in the forest, the giants are battling a monster called Dragr . Brook observes the creature and jokes:
Brook: "Is this monster my giant version? Yohohoho!"
The giants of the village prevent the Straw Hat Pirates from fighting, as they are invited guests. Colon is also barred from the combat.
Nami leads Jarul to the wounded giant guards and informs them about the presence of intruders in the castle .
Jarul (to another giant): “Tell the whole country that two humans have infiltrated our territory!!”
Brook: “Wait! With so many strange phenomena occurring, we must assume there are more than just two intruders.”
Nami states that she will never forgive anyone who tries to kidnap children. Usopp , though hesitant, offers to fight alongside the giants, but Jarul rejects the idea.
Next, the group watches Colon preparing to depart in his vessel, a small Sval .
Colon: "You may travel with me, but I will be the captain!"
With few options, Usopp, Jinbe, Nami, and Brook accept the offer and set off with Colon and his Sval .
Colon: “Sear off, 'Pirates of Colon'!!!”
The divine knights on stage
Deep in the forest, the Knights of God remain seated at their luxurious table. Gunko listens to music on headphones with the letters “TD ,” while the giants’ announcement echoes across the land.
Giants: “To everyone in the 'World of the Sun' in Elbaf!! We have detected humans, in addition to the Straw Hat Pirates, in 'Auurst Castle'!! We can determine that they are declared enemies…!”
Sommers: "Gihaha! Gunko is doing his post-meal ritual again."
Gunko: "This isn't a ritual... just my preference."
Sommers: “Having something portable isn’t bad… What’s your favorite song again?”
Gunko: “'NEW WORLD'.”
Sommers: "Hahaha! So you're unhappy with the current state of the world?!"
Killingham: "Sommers, it's not right to judge people's 'preferences'."
Sommers: "Ahh, sorry... But look, those adults are really trying hard over there."

Robin and Chopper are rooting for Saul:
Robin and Chopper: "You can do it, Saul!!"
The first girl in line stops when she touches the shield, but the second collides with her and both end up injured by the invisible spikes, letting out cries of pain. Saul, Robin, and Chopper are shocked.
