by

Please be aware that this article contains spoilers from the One Piece manga! The One Piece manga is currently showcasing the long-awaited Elbaf Arc, which fans have been anticipating for over 20 years. Readers first met Dorry and Brogy in the Little Garden Arc, part of the Alabasta Saga, where Luffy and his crew promised to one day visit the legendary Land of the Giants. Now, after the intense events of the Egghead Incident Arc, the crew has finally arrived there, coinciding with the arrival of the Giant Pirates. However, they quickly face new challenges with the appearance of the Holy Knights. Volume 113 of the manga, containing chapters 1145-1155, will be released in Japan on November 4th, 2025. It’s important to note that the English version will be available a few months later.

Like previous releases, this volume will include bonus content, answers to frequently asked questions, and any necessary corrections to scenes. Eiichiro Oda, the creator of One Piece, is famous for his dynamic volume covers featuring many characters. This time, the cover prominently displays a large, smiling Luffy alongside Scopper Gaban. The rest of the cover is dedicated to the Holy Knights – Shamrock Figarland, Manmayer Gunko, Shepherd Sommers, and Rimoshifu Killingham. This marks the first time their official colors have been revealed, and fans have been particularly interested in their hair colors. Gunko’s hair is notably similar to Buggy’s, while Shamrock’s is the same red as Shanks’.

The Holy Knights Are Major Villains in the Elbaf Arc

In the Elbaf Arc, the Holy Knights are the primary antagonists. They’ve invaded the island with the goal of building an army of Giant warriors. The World Government has long been interested in the Giants, who are considered the strongest people on Earth, but instead of seeking an alliance, corrupt officials want to enslave them. Knowing Giants are too proud to be conquered by force, the Holy Knights are kidnapping their children, hoping to force the island to submit. This tactic appears to be working; they’ve not only taken the children hostage, but even someone as powerful as Scopper Gaban was forced to surrender when his own son’s life was threatened.

Shamrock didn’t stay on the island long, but the other three followed his commands. As a battle rages on the surface, Luffy, Zoro, Sanji, Loki, and several Giants are in the Underworld, discovering what happened after Gaban was defeated. The situation is dire, but before Luffy’s group can join the fight, the story will reveal a thrilling backstory in the next volume. This backstory is ongoing, and we’ll soon learn the truth about Harald’s death.
