The Return of Loki!

The latest chapter of One Piece, Chapter 1141 – “Older Women“, is packed with exciting developments, character moments, and a major turning point in the Giants’ storyline. With no break next week, fans are in for an intense ride as the Egghead Arc (or Elbaf Arc, depending on where you think we are) continues to unfold!

Cover Story: Who’s Henchmen vs. Page One

The cover page features Who’s Who’s former henchmen punching Page One. While the context is unclear, it’s always fun to see side characters getting some attention. Could this be a hint that Who’s Who himself is making moves somewhere?

Franky Learns About the Adam Tree

In an exciting moment for shipwright fans, Ripley shows Franky a massive branch from the legendary Adam Tree that had to be cut down due to a lightning-induced fire. Since the Thousand Sunny was built from Adam Tree wood, this could mean an opportunity for Franky to reinforce or upgrade the ship. Could this branch serve as a future material for repairs or even another vessel?

Nami, Usopp, and Jorul’s Love for Older Women

Nami finally rejoins the party and gets involved in some drinking shenanigans with a drunk Usopp. The highlight of this scene? Usopp asks Jorul about his type, and the giant elder proudly declares: “Older Women!!”

Given the title of the chapter, this theme of admiration for experienced and powerful women could be more important than it seems. Could this be setting up a connection between Jorul and an unexpected character?

Gerd vs. Road – A Suspicious Battle!

In the medical tent, Gerd is tending to the giant guards that Road brought with him, but something about Road seems off. Instead of simply treating the injured, Gerd suddenly attacks Road, suspecting him of something!

Sanji, always drawn to strong women, follows Gerd, likely impressed by her combat skills and assertiveness. This could lead to a potential Sanji-Gerd team-up, or maybe even the start of a comedic infatuation!

Luffy & Zoro in the Underworld – Should Loki Be Freed?

The biggest moment of the chapter takes us underground, where Luffy and Zoro find themselves in the dark depths of Elbaf’s Underworld, standing before Prince Loki. There’s a heated discussion about whether it’s a good idea to release him or not.

This raises major questions:

• Why was Loki imprisoned in the first place?
• Will freeing him cause chaos, or is it necessary for the Straw Hats’ survival?
• Could this change the power dynamics of Elbaf?

Before a decision can be made, Hajrudin’s crew dramatically falls from the sky in a ship, attempting to stop Luffy and Zoro from unleashing Loki. However, their arrival is too late—Loki is already free!

What’s Next?

With Loki now unchained, the battle for Elbaf is about to take a drastic turn. Is Loki an ally or a new threat? What will this mean for Big Mom, who had past ties with Elbaf?

Thankfully, there’s no break next week, meaning we won’t have to wait long to see what happens next!

What are your thoughts on this chapter? Do you think freeing Loki was a mistake? Let’s discuss!
