Where to read One Piece chapter 1144

For overseas audiences, there are three major options for reading chapter 1144 immediately upon its official release. Viz Media's official website and Shueisha's MANGA Plus service are both free to use, but they limit readers to the first and latest three issues in a series. Shueisha's Shonen Jump+ can provide full access to One Piece and other series, but such privileges are gated behind a monthly subscription fee.

One Piece chapter 1143 recap

One Piece chapter 1143 began with Jaguar D. Saul trying to stop the sleepwalking children. However, he stabbed himself on an invisible thorny vine wrapped around each of them. Meanwhile, Ange radioed the Western Village to inform them of the situation, but the Giants partying were too drunk to do anything.

Thankfully, a group of firefighting Giants went to deal with the fire. However, they were stopped by the draugr monster from the children's dreams.

Focus then shifted to the Holy Knights laughing at Saul, with Saint Sommers going on a rant about how he loves seeing people suffer from his ability. He was likewise revealed as the Thorn-Thorn Fruit user.

It was also clear that Saint Rimoshifu Killingham put the children to sleep and created the monsters with his Mythical Zoan-type Dragon-Dragon Fruit, Model: Kirin. Gunko told them to be on guard since she discovered Luffy was on Elbaph.

She then commented on how the kids were heading towards the fire and that if they died, they'd simply try again with the next group. The focus then shifted to the Underworld, where Loki passed out from blood loss after a light punch from Luffy.

Hajrudin agreed to let Gerd treat him but eventually tried killing him after musing about their childhoods together. The issue ended with Loki criticizing Hajrudin's immaturity while implying a deeper truth about King Harald's death.

What to expect from One Piece chapter 1144 (speculative)

One Piece chapter 1144 should continue focusing on the Underworld as Hajrudin questions what Loki means. He'll likely try to dismiss his words as false before Luffy and Zoro chime in to say they don't get the sense he's being deceitful. This should prompt Loki to begin his story with a flashback beginning with it.

Loki should narrate the first part of the flashback, explaining that he was closer than Harald with Hajrudin due to inheriting his Ancient Giant blood. This should explain how he became aware that Harald was colluding with the World Government and clashing with Jarul. The issue will likely end with the flashback ongoing as Loki says he knew he had to do something about it.
