One Piece chapter 1140 spoilers: Luffy vs Gaban begins as two new Holy Knights enter Elbaph Island

One Piece chapter 1140 spoilers were expected to focus primarily on an epic fight between Monkey D. Luffy and Scopper Gaban, with Roronoa Zoro also possibly getting involved. Shared on Wednesday, February 19, 2025, spoilers instead saw this highly anticipated fight come to an unceremonious end.

However, One Piece chapter 1140 spoilers do tease a reunion between them eventually, which may lead to the fight fans were expecting later on in the Elbaph Arc. In the meantime, spoilers allege that two new Holy Knights are introduced in the issue, with their appearances also leading to some significant implicit worldbuilding and lore.

One Piece chapter 1140 spoilers start with the issue’s title of “Scopper Gaban,” as well as its cover page continuing the story of Yamato’s pilgrimage across Wano. In this edition, Ulti is seen tied to a dartboard, threatening Who’s Who about Page One’s safety while he throws knives at her. Spoilers then claim the chapter starts immediately where the last one ended, with a confused Luffy questioning why they have to fight.

Zoro thinks of how strong Colon said his dad was as Luffy stretches his hand to take the key, but Gaban easily dodges him. An annoyed Luffy jumps closer and tries again, but Gaban coats the key with Haki and smashes Luffy into the ground. This is presumably Advanced Conqueror’s Haki given the alleged presence of black lightning bolts. Luffy emerges from the resultant rubble angry, and launches a Gum-Gum Gatling-like attack on Gaban, who also dodges this.

One Piece chapter 1140 spoilers see Gaban tease Luffy about his straw hat, also jokingly insulting Shanks in the process which further upsets Luffy. Gaban then shoves part of the key in Luffy’s mouth, prompting his head to take the shape of the key. Gaban then takes out two axes and launches a Yasotakeru attack at Luffy. Zoro calls out to Luffy and tells him to dodge as Luffy senses Gaban’s powerful Haki, clearly worried.

He barely dodges the attack thanks to Zoro partially blocking it with his swords. As Gaban comments on Zoro being a good crewmate, he and Luffy get serious, the former using his Advanced Conqueror’s Haki and the latter entering his Gear 5 form. Luffy’s Elbaph outfit is also affected, and blends in with parts of Luffy’s body, such as his helmet and his hair. Gaban thinks to himself that Luffy’s form is “truly the ‘white form’” before giving up on the fight.

One Piece chapter 1140 spoilers see Luffy and Zoro get angry for it ending so quickly, prompting Road to try and tell them who Ya-san (as they only know him) really is. However, Gaban stops him, and instead tells the pair to come and see him again if Elbaph is still safe by the time they’re leaving it. Zoro and Luffy say they won’t as Gaban walks away smiling, musing on when Shanks tried to convince him to trust Luffy last time they met.

Focus then shifted to the Walrus School, where the kids tell Ange that they saw a strange bird fly by. She looks for it, but it’s already gone as focus shifts to Figarland Shamrock and Gunko landing in a nearby huge branch. They express shock at Elbaph having a school as the latter creates a magic circle in the ground. The circle is then struck by black lightning, with two new Holy Knights appearing and being introduced here.

One Piece chapter 1140 spoilers claim the first to be Saint Sommers of the Shepherd Family, the same family the Gorosei’s Ju Peter comes from. He’s a middle-aged man with glasses, long hair, a beard and goatee with a cross shape. He’s introduced here in his underwear, due to seemingly having been summoned before being ready. This is also indicated by his being on the phone, discussing the issue with getting food to the Celestial Dragons.

The second is said to be Saint Gillingham from the Limoshif/Remosif Family, with spoilers cautioning that the correct translation is still unclear. Spoilers then allege that it’s clear he has the power of the Kirin Zoan Fruit, which seems to be Awakened based on white clouds floating around his neck. Gillingham likewise appears in his hybrid form, sporting a very long neck with a long mane, and a horse-like head with two horns and two long whiskers.

One Piece chapter 1140 spoilers claim his outfit to be a military uniform similar to Shamrock’s, but wields a “very strange trident” rather than a sword. He also wears a bubble around his head as the Celestial Dragons do, with his being fitted with a special respirator. Gillingham is shown to be worried about being late while trying to remember what his orders were, with the pair then finally realizing they’ve been summoned to Elbaph.

Shamrock asks why both were summoned, with Gillingham relaying orders for Shamrock to instead return to Mariejois. Sommers then marvels at being in Elbaph, suspiciously asking if Shamrock is here “visiting Harald’s grave.” The final page of the issue allegedly sees the four observing the Giant children playing at the Walrus School. Sommers is dressed now, wearing a military uniform similar to that of his companions but adorned with medals and a rose.

One Piece chapter 1140 spoilers also show him to carry a sword with a thorny handle on his waist. Sommers then questions how they’ll actually abduct and transport the Giant children, with Gillingham saying they can’t use the “Abyss,” seemingly referring to the magic circle travel method. As they decide to use ships to transport them, the issue ends with Shamrock making an evil face as he suggests the three of them make a “game” of their abduction.
