One Piece Chapter 1192 Review/Recap
You know something? I am sick and tired of having people saying that Luffy needs to run from Imu. That there’s no way that he can win, so he needs to get out while he can. I’ve got words to say in response: F. THAT. It doesn’t matter if Luffy is the incarnation of a god or not, and we all know it! He’s going to do whatever he wants! At least Usopp was there to spell it out for us this time as Luffy gets ready to open up a can of whoop-ass on Imu!
Recap
The triple attack of Hajrudin, Luffy, and Loki managed to do some damage to Imu. The demon is sent flying back into the tree and is shown to be bleeding from the mouth and nose. They don’t let up. Loki and Luffy charge right in and start trying to pound away at Imu, but his reflexes are too fast. He easily blocks their attacks and sends Luffy into the ground.
Gaban, meanwhile, is telling Hajrudin to get Luffy and get him out of Elbaph, saying he has no idea what he’s risking by continuing to fight. All a sudden, though, Usopp appears on the Giant’s shoulder and tells Gaban to shut his mouth. Luffy has more than enough reasons to fight. Dorry and Brogy cleared the way for them on Little Garden. Oimo and Koshi helped them save Robin at Enies Lobby. And the New Giant Warrior Pirates helped them on Dressrosa. They ain’t turning their backs on their friends.
Gaban says that they have no idea how important Luffy’s form is, but Usopp tells him they don’t care. Luffy has always, and will always, do his own thing! True to form, as Loki begins swinging his next attack, Luffy gets a crazy idea. He jumps onto Ragnir, tells Loki not to hold back, and uses the hammer swing to rocket himself straight at Imu. Before the demon can even throw up a defense, he’s already got his fist deep in his chest, rubber hose effect and everything!
Review
Everyone, let’s give a big round of applause to God D. Usopp, the ultimate hype man for Luffy. Thank you for telling everyone to shut up about Luffy needing to run from Imu.
I am on multiple discord servers for One Piece, and I have seen several people saying that Luffy cannot win. That he needs to escape Elbaph while he still can. That this arc is going to end with Imu winning and seizing Elbaph. I’m sick of it, and I’m sick of people saying that Luffy needs to be humbled before the final war. He doesn’t need humbling, and he doesn’t need to run. Either he’s going to win, or Imu will run out of time and will have to retreat. I refuse to even acknowledge the that Luffy will lose. Not when there is so much on the line.
Luffy’s not just fighting for the fate of the world, even if he doesn’t know it, and this chapter serves to remind us of that fact. If anything, he’s fighting because his friends are in danger, and he will not let that happen. If he runs now, Elbaph will be enslaved, his friends will die, and the legacy of Ohara will be burned to ash. Ergo, NO RETREAT. And the ending to this chapter proved that not even Imu is invincible. If Luffy hits faster than Imu can react, than he can make the Devil bleed. Now, everyone stop doubting Luffy and just wait for him to win!
