Brook and his connection to Esperia
Chapter 1185 begins with a sequence showing Brook when he was still Candelle's apprentice. Besides sword training, she also taught etiquette to the future musician of the Straw Hat Pirates. The narrative then highlights the strong friendship between Brook and Shuri, while Candelle reveals that she harbored feelings for Prince Luven, although she was content to serve as his royal guard.
Later, a World Government ship accompanied by a Celestial Dragon arrives in the Kingdom of Esperia. Following this visit, Candelle falls gravely ill for an extended period, causing concern throughout the kingdom. When she finally recovers, Luven announces his engagement to her.
Mysterious fog changes the fate of the kingdom
Years later, a strange fog covers Esperia for a long time. The phenomenon affects the health of the inhabitants and corrodes musical instruments that sustained the local economy. As a consequence, the kingdom collapses financially and loses the ability to pay the Heavenly Tribute.
Faced with the World Government's demand to enslave its citizens as compensation, Luven decides to resist. The war ends with the kingdom consumed by flames. At the end of the chapter, Brook finds Shuri attacking Luven. The last page shows both of them with demonic wings and horns, suggesting the influence of Domi Reversi.
