One Piece Chapter 1151 Review/Recap

All right, Imu. This has gone on long enough. The God’s Knights have been running rampant across Elbaph for less than a day, and they’ve already managed to do so much damage. They’re holding the future of the Giants hostage, have unleashed a horde of nightmares, and are trying to burn their schools and libraries to the ground. And now that Imu themself is getting involved, they’ve turned most of the Giant Pirates into their personal demon army. But now that Oda has established how royally screwed everyone is, its time for Luffy to move out.

Recap

Everything in Elbaph is falling apart thanks to Imu. Most of the Giant Pirates have been turned into demons and are running wild and without care. What’s even worse is that when the nightmares created by Qillingham die, he just recreates them. There’s now an entire army of monsters and demons burning Elbaph to the ground, and Imu is not going to stop. Not until they break Elbaph’s spirit and ability to fight back whatsoever.

Unbeknownst to Imu, they missed a spot.

Minutes earlier, as Gaban was falling to what looked to be his death in the Underworld, Chopper decided it was not his day today. Without thinking, he had jumped down after Gaban and, using his Guard Point, managed to save them both from what could’ve been a fatal fall. Their arrival in the Underworld did not go unnoticed, either. The Monster Trio and New Giant Warrior Pirates are watching over Loki when they sense Chopper’s fall and investigate.

After dragging him and Gaban back to their location, Luffy freaks out when he learns the latter was one of the Roger Pirates. However, Chopper quickly fills them in on the chaos that’s happening up top, right as they all feel a massive burst of Haki from Imu. That one blast was all the warriors needed to know, though. Taking charge of the situation, Luffy and Hadrujin tell everyone that they need to move out immediately. Elbaph, its people, and their friends are in danger, and they need to save it!

Review

Imu, you done fucked up. After all that time you spent berating Saturn for letting Luffy escape, you’ve made a mistake just as big, if not bigger. Not only did you choose to invade a country full of people that the Straw Hats consider their friends, but you’ve held their kids hostage, tried to destroy their history, and turned many of said friends into brainwashed demons. And you did this all while Luffy was already present, and you didn’t know about it. And by the time the Straw Hats are done, you and your idiotic minions are going to be eating through tubes!

And me and the fans are going to be laughing and eating popcorn while we watch.

All hyping up aside, I think most fans already realized that with the way things are going, only the strongest fighters in Elbaph have a chance of stopping the God’s Knights and Imu. And its doing it in the best way possible, to boot. While the Monster Trio will inevitably focus on each of the Knights, the demonic giants will have to be handled by another group. And with Hadrujin and the New Giant Warrior Pirates representing the next generation of Elbaph’s warriors, they are in the best position to do so. Not only will this show how strong they truly are, but it could also demonstrate that Hadrujin is worthy of being the rightful king of Elbaph. The Straw Hats will need the giants on their side if they want to win the coming war, and this will cement that.

The God’s Knights are Going Down

As for the God’s Knights themselves, its, again, obvious that the only ones who can stop them are the Monster Trio of the Straw Hats. Zoro will be pitted against Qillingham, matching sword for sword. Sanji, with his haki and enhanced body, stands the best chance of taking down Sommers. However, the real fight that everyone will focus on is between Luffy and Imu. Whether they’re one of the original founders of the World Government or the actual Devil, Imu is the ancient nemesis of Joy Boy. This could be the first time in eight hundred years that the two have faced off! Granted, Imu is only using Gunko as a puppet, but the point still stands. Next to Blackbeard, Imu is the person I consider the most worthy of being the ultimate big bad of One Piece, so a clash between him and Luffy will be legendary. Luffy will need to push himself harder than he ever has before if he wants to win.

We might have a break for the next chapter, but when we get back, we’re in for the fight of the century. This is going to be so much fun!

KICK THEIR BUTTS, LUFFY!!!!
