1148 arrived chapter One Piece with a bang, delivering a long-awaited moment for fans: the start of the great battles in Elbaf. After two weeks of waiting, the manga brought not only intense action, but also revealed a new ability that promises to be essential in the final phase of the series.

Scopper Gaban and the Haki that transcends regeneration
While Nico Robin bravely faced Saint Sommers, it became clear that although she inflicted physical damage, she couldn't defeat the immortal enemy. After all, even with a broken back, Sommers remained standing. However, when everything indicated that Robin was about to die and see the Elbaf library destroyed, Scopper Gaban unexpectedly entered the scene.
In his very first strike, Gaban cut off Sommers' arm and then delivered a direct attack to his chest. Although the Holy Knights possess near-perfect regeneration, this wound proved permanent. This undeniably indicates that what Gaban used was something beyond the traditional Conqueror's Haki.
A new type of Haki in One Piece
Currently, it is known that some characters possess Internal Destruction Haki, capable of piercing physical barriers. However, Gaban went further, directly striking Sommers' soul. In other words, we are facing a new technique, perhaps an advanced form of Conqueror's Haki, that focuses on spiritual damage.
Even Luffy and Zoro, who faced the Five Elders and are also users of advanced Haki, mentioned that their abilities were ineffective against immortals. Therefore, it is evident that Gaban's power surpasses all known limits.
Who else can use this technique?
So far, only Joy Boy and Scopper Gaban have demonstrated this type of Haki. However, it's likely that Gaban will teach this secret to Luffy soon. After all, this power will be crucial in the battles against Imu and the series' final major enemies.
Finally, chapter 1148 of One Piece will be officially released on May 11, 2025, available for free on Manga Plus.
