Recap Of One Piece Chapter 1186
The previous chapter titled “One More Time” ended the heartbreaking flashback about Brook and Gunko. Readers learned the truth about the fall of the Esperia Kingdom. Gunko was revealed to be the daughter of Manmayer Gurou, a Holy Knight, making her a Celestial Dragon. After killing King Leuven, she stabbed Brook before leaving with her father.
The story then returned to the present-day battle on Elbaf. Imu was talking to Loki about a tragedy that happened 800 years ago when the giants tried to protect their children. Luffy, having recovered from his huge meal, arrived on the battlefield and delivered a Haki punch straight to Imu’s face, ordering the King of the World to leave Elbaf.

What To Expect In One Piece Chapter 1187
With Luffy standing in front of Imu, the next chapter is set to begin the fight fans have been waiting for. Luffy and Imu finally face off is the official preview for the chapter, translated from Japanese. This means Chapter 1187 will likely give readers the first real look at Imu‘s combat abilities. So far, Imu‘s powers have remained a complete mystery. This fight could be the moment where Eiichiro Oda starts showing why the ruler of the world has stayed hidden for so long.
There is also a possibility of an uneasy partnership between Luffy and Loki. While they have been enemies throughout the Elbaf arc, they now share the same opponent. Fans believe they could temporarily join forces against Imu before settling their own rivalry later.
Meanwhile, Brook‘s storyline is not over. After learning the truth about Gunko, he has asked the Straw Hats to help free her from Ragnir’s ice. He believes she is another victim of Imu. The next chapter may continue this rescue mission, which could lead to Gunko explaining what truly happened in Esperia. While Luffy‘s battle will be the main focus, this side story adds another layer of emotion to the arc.
