Where to read One Piece chapter 1146?

There are three major options for overseas audiences to read chapter 1146 immediately upon its official release. Free options include Viz Media’s official website and Shueisha’s MANGA Plus service, but both limit how much a series users can read overall.

Contrarily, Shueisha’s Shonen Jump+ does offer full access to One Piece and other series, but in exchange for a (relatively inexpensive) monthly subscription fee.

One Piece chapter 1145 recap

Expand Tweet

One Piece chapter 1145 begins with Zoro, Sanji, and Goldberg hunting for meat for Loki in the Underworld. They defeated it with help from Goldberg’s shield, Nash, which was turned into one of Big Mom’s homies when his dad fought her decades ago.

The focus then shifted to Loki, who revealed his meeting with the Holy Knights to the others. After the others returned with the meat, Luffy tried feeding Loki, hurting him more than helping him.

They then discussed Shanks, with Loki saying their deal still hadn’t been completed since he wasn’t fully free. He then said he understood how Luffy felt about Shanks as a flashback began showing a young Loki meeting Rocks D. Xebec. He first asked to join Rocks’ crew, then challenged him to a fight after being rejected. Xebec left Loki bleeding and unconscious, which Whitebeard admonished him for. Loki says he was born in the wrong era.

Focus then shifted to the Giant Warrior Pirates and Gaban, who took down several nightmare monsters. He added that he could still hear three voices on Elbaph and mused about the world ending.

The focus then shifted to the sleepwalking children, who were about to enter the fire until Jinbe used Fish-Man Karate and a sea cloud to put it out. The issue ended with Gunko confronting Jinbe, Colon, and the other Straw Hats on Colon’s svarr.

What to expect from One Piece chapter 1146? (Speculative)

One Piece chapter 1146 should begin with a continued focus on Gunko’s confrontation of the Straw Hats, albeit a brief one. She’ll likely be very menacing at first before pausing after realizing Brook is with them, prompting a shift in focus as her entire demeanor changes.

The focus should shift to the Underworld, where Luffy and the others are asking Loki to elaborate on what he said to Hajrudin earlier about their father’s death. Chapter 1146 should then end with the start of Loki’s flashback, likely pausing just as Loki reaches adulthood.
