One Piece chapter 1147 spoilers: Robin teams up with Gaban as Gunko tries to enslave Brook

Heading into the issue’s release week, One Piece chapter 1147 spoilers were expected to continue focusing on the Holy Knights’ next moves in achieving their goals. Unofficially revealed earlier this week, the latest leaks for the series allege that the upcoming installment does indeed elaborate on the Elbaph Arc antagonists’ next moves.

One Piece chapter 1147 spoilers likewise continues the focus from the last issue, which saw each of the three Holy Knights on Elbaph enter the fray personally. The previous installment also saw several Straw Hats prepare to fight, with these members of Luffy’s crew making every effort they can to defeat these enemies.

One Piece chapter 1147 spoilers begin with the issue’s title of “Things That We Fear,” as well as the issue’s cover story which continues Yamato’s pilgrimage across Wano. In this latest installment, they’re seen eating some onigiri at Raizo’s behest while Otama is seen hugging him. Spoilers then allege the issue begins with a flashback of what happened just before Saint Shepherd Sommers attacked Jaguar D. Saul.

While spoilers claim Sommers attacked Robin, this is almost certainly a mistake given that Robin was still hiding in Saul’s beard undiscovered as of chapter 1146’s end. Further supporting this is the flashback focusing on Saul explaining to Robin that the Holy Knights are not only tough enemies, but seemingly immortal. He likewise asks her and Tony Tony Chopper to keep hiding in his beard until they can help the children escape.

One Piece chapter 1147 spoilers then shift focus to Gunko and the Straw Hats, where she has captured all of those present with her powers. However, Saint Sommers is then heard asking her to let them go since it isn’t their job and he wants to avoid trouble with a Yonko like Monkey D. Luffy. She and Brook then have a conversation after the former realizes who the latter is, putting her foot on him and demanding he become her slave and make songs for her.

Brook refuses, saying that ever since the day Luffy gave him his second life by revealing Laboon still lives, he swore his undying loyalty to his captain. She asks him what he’d do if she threatened to kill him should he refuse, to which he says it’s better to die than to live on without honor. As their conversation plays out, Jinbe is apparently trying to figure out a way to defeat Gunko, although currently available spoilers don’t specify how.

One Piece chapter 1147 spoilers then allege Sommers makes his announcement to Elbaph via his Transponder Snail, which Saint Rimoshifu Killingham is holding next to one of Elbaph’s Transponder Snails. He reveals to the country that the Holy Knights have now abducted ten children including Colon. In order to free their children, the Giants must destroy Elbaph’s various schools and libraries and swear loyalty to the World Government.

Spoilers then claim the issue shifts focus to the Giant Warrior Pirates in the Great Eirik, which is seen crashing down to the ground. Hilariously, some of the dream monsters take the form of much larger and more terrifying versions of their wives (i.e., the children’s mothers). This causes the crew to become too scared to fight. As this happens, Sommers is seen riding on a dragon- or snake-like creature made of thorns from his Devil Fruit.

One Piece chapter 1147 spoilers then claim the issue ends with Scopper Gaban meeting up with Ripley (and presumably Franky, Jewelry Bonney, and Vegapunk Lilith likewise). She’s seen asking him to go rescue their son, suggesting Sommers specifically revealed they had Gaban’s child in captivity. The issue then allegedly ends with Gaban and Robin preparing to charge into battle simultaneously, promising not to let the Holy Knights get away with this.

Spoilers also end by confirming that the series will be on break after chapter 1147’s official release due to Shueisha’s publisher break for the Golden Week holiday. This means all Weekly Shonen Jump series, including One Piece, will be on a forced break likewise. As of this article’s writing, the manga is expected to return with the official release of chapter 1148 on Monday, May 12, 2025.
