One Piece returns in full force after its brief hiatus, with chapter 1154 promising to be one of the most impactful, featuring Rocks D. Xebec . After all, the flashback to Elbaf from the manga continues, delving ever deeper into the story of Loki, a character surrounded by mysteries, rejection, and injustices.
Loki: from "demon" to victim of ignorance
Previously, we saw that Loki was unfairly labeled a threat even in childhood. As the new chapter reveals, he was just a child with eyes considered demonic, but who never committed any real crimes. However, his appearance led to the disasters of Elbaf being attributed to him. Even his own family rejected him.
"From that day forward, all the misfortunes of Elbaf fell upon Loki ," the chapter narrates with dramatic weight.
The manga shows that Loki has always been stronger than his brother Hajrudin, which has generated jealousy and rivalry between the two. However, the origin of this disdain may lie with their mother: Estrida. Oda is expected to explore this conflict further in the upcoming chapters.
What to expect from Rocks D. Xebec?
Meanwhile, Harald continues his journey across the seas, even while constantly blocked by the World Government. Eventually, he may encounter the Holy Knights – or even Imu – at some point. Furthermore, Rocks D. Xebec is the father of Marshall D. Teach, Blackbeard ! The physical resemblance is striking – two-toned hair, imposing posture – and this explains much of Teach's dark heritage.
Shortly after meeting Harald, Rocks killed a Navy admiral , becoming a wanted criminal. And now, his direct connection to the D. family resurfaces with full force!
Conflicts, redemption, and the connection with Marijoa
Oda should also focus on family ties, highlighting scenes between Harald and Loki. The evolution of this relationship could be essential to the construction of the current arc. Furthermore, if there is a time jump, we may see Harald arriving in Marijoa – something that remains shrouded in mystery.
One Piece chapter 1154 will be officially released on July 13, 2025 , and will be available for free reading on the Manga Plus .
