The latest chapter of the One Piece manga is here, and it delivers a powerful moment for Sanji. One Piece Chapter 1176, titled “It’s My Pride,” shows the Straw Hat cook defending his crewmate Jinbe from a disgusting insult. The chapter was officially released on March 8, 2026, and fans are praising Sanji’s loyalty and strength .
Sanji’s Instant Reaction to an Insult
The main conflict in this chapter starts when the Holy Knight Killingham confronts Jinbe. Killingham, a Celestial Dragon and member of the God’s Knights, immediately looks down on Jinbe for being a Fish-Man. He calls Jinbe disgusting and makes a cruel comment about his helmet. Killingham says he is glad he is wearing it so he does not have to breathe the same air as Jinbe .
This insult is too much for Sanji. He hears what Killingham says and reacts instantly without any hesitation. Sanji launches a powerful kick directly at Killingham’s head. The attack, which some sources identify as Concassé, is so strong that it completely shatters the Holy Knight’s helmet .
This moment is significant because it shows Sanji’s deep respect for his crew. While Sanji is famously chivalrous toward women, this scene proves his loyalty extends to all his friends. He would not stand by while anyone disrespected a member of the Straw Hat crew . By breaking the helmet, Sanji not only hurt Killingham physically but also destroyed the symbol of arrogance and superiority the Holy Knight was hiding behind .
The Truth About Domi Reversi
While Sanji’s kick is the action highlight, the chapter also reveals a major secret about Imu’s power. In another part of Elbaf, the giant warriors Dorry and Brogy are fighting under the control of Domi Reversi. For a brief moment, they regain their own consciousness .
Knowing they are being used as puppets to hurt their people, they make a difficult decision. They try to kill each other to break the spell. When they deliver fatal wounds, the Domi Reversi control disappears. The most surprising part is that they do not stay dead. Once the curse is lifted, they are fully restored to normal and healed .
This confirms a key rule about this power: the person under control must “die” to be freed, but they come back to life once the curse breaks. This revelation raises new questions about past characters like Rocks D. Xebec .
Franky’s Super Cola Power-Up
The chapter also features a fun moment with Franky. Lilith, the Vegapunk clone, is curious why Franky only uses cola for power. She offers to help create a new energy booster .
They go to the school where a fire is spreading. Nami and Zeus are trying to stop the fire, but a nightmare creature defeats Zeus. Lilith uses a machine to freeze the school and put out the flames. She then converts the fire energy into a new “Super Cola” for Franky. This new fuel source powers up Franky, allowing him and Jinbe to take down more of the dream monsters together.
