One Piece chapter 1143 spoilers: Loki teases true motive for killing Harald as Holy Knight Devil Fruits are confirmed

Given the Elbaph Arc’s latest developments, One Piece chapter 1143 spoilers were expected to focus primarily on what the next moves of both the Holy Knights and Loki would be. Unofficially leaked earlier this week, the installment did indeed give focus to these two key antagonistic forces of the arc, but with some unexpected twists.

One Piece chapter 1143 spoilers see fans’ expectations fulfilled with the former group, revealing their Devil Fruits and giving more of an insight into their personalities. However, the focus on Loki came with some unexpected twists and turns, including a tease that King Harald’s murder didn’t proceed as some Giants believe it did.

One Piece chapter 1143 spoilers begin with the issue’s title, which is said to be “The God’s Knights” here. The English title should likewise be “The Holy Knights” given that this is the official translation of the group’s name. The cover page is said to be a color spread reader request which shows the Straw Hat Pirates in a car chase. However, the crew is instead riding on flying fishes, save for Jinbe who swims in the water.

The crew is participating in a race, with all of them wearing leather outfits like motorcycle riders do. On a rubber ring, the sentence “speed is the weapon” is written. Spoilers then claim the issue opens up with a focus on the Walrus Academy, where Jaguar D. Saul is trying to stop the sleepwalking children by grabbing them. However, the students are wrapped in invisible thorny vines, which causes Saul to recoil and shout in pain.

One Piece chapter 1143 spoilers then shift focus to the village where the party is happening. They send a fire fighting squad to handle the fire Loki started with Ragnir, but the svarr they were riding is destroyed by the draugr from the childrens’ nightmares. The Giants are shown to be in shock at this and seeing the draugr, while Nami, Usopp, and Jinbe are seen reacting to the news about the school and the fire.

Focus then shifts yet again to the branches by the Walrus Academy, where the Holy Knights are eating while observing the chaos. Saint Shepherd Sommers is seen laughing at Saul injuring himself on the thorns. He asks Gunko a question about love and calls her a sad woman when she refuses to answer. He then begins ranting about how he loves seeing parents die while trying to save their children from the invisible thorns and how it traumatizes the children.

One Piece chapter 1143 spoilers claim that vines appear on his right arm as he speaks. This is explained by a presentation box which claims that he has the power of the Iba Iba no Mi, making him a “Thorn Human.” It’s also confirmed here that Gunko’s arrows are those directing the children; it’s also specified that she’s deliberately leading them through the main village road to make the Giants feel powerless, showing she’s similarly sadistic to Sommers.

Saint Rimoshifu Killingham then comments on their lack of salt, mentioning it to Sommers. This causes a cloud with salt in it to appear over his head, with Killingham then using his Devil Fruit powers to put Sommers to sleep. He then pulls the salt out of Sommers’ dream before waking him up. A text box explains that Killingham has the power of the Mythical Zoan-type Ryu Ryu no Mi, Model Kirin, making him a “Dream Manifesting Human.”

Sommers reacts to this in shock before asking something about the monsters he made from the childrens’ dreams, which he allegedly calls “MMA.” One Piece chapter 1143 spoilers see Killingham respond by saying that they’ll be made to be running along with the kids before all three focus on their now salted food. Gunko is said to act like a little kid when she eats, which she does without removing her bandages fully.

Killingham then clarifies that while the food is succulent, it provides no energy since it comes from their dreams via his Fruit. Sommers then complains that their game will be too easy since the children can easily be transported to the ship as things are. However, Gunko reminds him that something unexpected will happen since Luffy, a Yonko, is also on Elbaph. The Holy Knights then notice that the children are heading towards where the fire is.

However, One Piece chapter 1143 spoilers claim that rather than divert and save them, they elect to let them die and try again with the next group. Focus then shifts to the Underworld, where Luffy uses a new technique called “Arm Balloon,” or “Ude Fusen,” to inflate only his right arm and lightly punch Loki. This causes Loki to collapse and fall unconscious, with Zoro pointing out that he really is on the verge of death and must’ve just been bluffing.

Luffy begs the Giants to help Loki, with Gerd and the others agreeing and her beginning to treat his wounds. However, a flashback begins about Hajrudin and Loki’s past. Harald is first seen speaking to the two of them when he still had his horns. While his face is shaded, Hajrudin is shown to be similar to how he looked in Big Mom’s flashback. Loki is shown to have already been taller than Hajrudin at this time, his eyes also already covered in bandages.

One Piece chapter 1143 spoilers claim Harald asks them to support Elbaph together as his two heirs. However, focus then shifts to Loki defeating Hajrudin easily with a spike kanabo similar to Kaido’s. Loki also insults and bullies Hajrudin, saying he doesn’t accept him as his big brother and that his mother came from a “tainted line.” Focus returns to the present, where Hajrudin furiously picks up an axe and tries to kill Loki.

Road and Stansen stop him, but he says he can’t ever forgive Loki for speaking ill of his mother and killing their father. Loki tells Hajrudin to go ahead and do it, calling him a “pathetic berserker” while speaking calmly, which shocks Hajrudin. Loki then tells him to “look at the whole forest” if he has time to get caught up in personal drama. Spoilers then end with Loki asking Hajrudin if he really thinks that he wanted to kill their father, implying a hidden truth.
