One Piece Chapter 1149 may foreshadow Elbaf's future. While many readers were excited by the spoilers for Chapter 1148 , some in the fandom expressed concern about the direction Nico Robin . After all, a direct and intense confrontation was expected, but author Eiichiro Oda surprised with a different choice.

Robin vs. Sommers: The Battle That Never Happened
Shepherd Sommers , one of the main villains of the Elbaf , was summoned to kidnap the children and force the giants into submission. When Saul discovers the plan, he tries to stop Sommers, but is brutally defeated by the power of the Iba Iba no Mi. Robin and Chopper, hidden in Saul's hair, watch everything. Although Saul asked them to remain hidden, Robin could not bear to see the suffering and decided to act.
However, Oda chose not to deliver the long-awaited fight. Many fans expected Robin to awaken Armament Haki , essential to face the Holy Knights , who are not only powerful but virtually immortal. However, Robin was given the ability to clone herself —useful, but insufficient to defeat enemies of that level.
The arrival of Scopper Gaban and the turnaround in Elbaf
Despite Robin's bold strategy, Sommers quickly saw through the ruse and managed to capture her. Then, unexpectedly, Scopper Gaban appeared and saved the day. With two well-aimed strikes, he incapacitated Sommers, giving a huge boost to the resistance in Elbaf.
With Sommers out of action, the path to the children becomes more accessible. This could signal the end of the Holy Knights' mission to erase the island's history. However, Gunko and Killingham are still active, promising intense battles in the coming chapters.
Therefore, Chapter 1149 could define the future of Elbaf — and even the fate of the giants' library.
