Story Preview and Key Battles to Watch in Chapter 1174
Chapter 1173 ended with several critical confrontations in motion across Elbaf. The upcoming chapter is expected to advance these plotlines rapidly, focusing on the counter-attack against Imu’s demon army.
A major development involves the giant pirate captains Dorry and Brogy. After being turned into demons by Imu’s power, they were on the verge of attacking Zoro. The swordsman’s evasion, however, caused the two colossal warriors to collide, potentially reigniting their legendary century-long rivalry. If they turn on each other, it would neutralize one of the biggest threats on the battlefield and allow Zoro’s team to focus on their mission to save Elder Jarul.
Tell me, is it okay if I cut down those Giants? — Zoro to Hajrudin and Stansen
Simultaneously, Brook’s heartfelt confrontation with Princess Shuri, who is being controlled as Gunko, is set to continue. Brook’s words briefly broke Imu’s hold in the last chapter, and their continued interaction may reveal a crucial flashback about their past connection. This storyline is key to understanding how Shuri became Imu’s puppet and could provide a path to freeing her.
I had hoped I would never have to think of you ever again. — Brook to Shuri
While these fights rage, other Straw Hat members are tasked with saving Elbaf’s future. Jinbei is positioned to use his water abilities to extinguish the fires threatening the sacred Owl’s Library and school, while Sanji may confront Saint Sommers to free a captured Nico Robin.
