One Piece Chapter 1153 Release Date, Time & What to Expect

by

In Chapter 1153 of One Piece, we’re set for a significant development as it begins to unravel the long-standing mysteries about the land of Elbaf. The focus now falls on Loki, the mysterious giant warrior, who is given an opportunity to reveal his perspective. Instead of the anticipated clash between Monkey D. Luffy and Imu, this chapter takes a surprising detour, delving into the past events of Elbaf, particularly Harold’s death and Loki’s role. It also starts to touch upon Harold’s time as the King of Giants.

It’s now apparent from the brief glimpse we had earlier, much like many speculations among fans, that Harold, not Loki, is indeed the primary villain. His ties with the World Government and the flashback depicting events 109 years ago paint a chilling picture of Harold as a cold-hearted and fearsome character. This revelation raises intriguing questions about how he ascended to the throne of Elbaf initially. As we delve deeper into Harold’s past in Chapter 1153, it looks like we’re in for more insights. Luckily for fans, there won’t be much waiting as the next chapter is due soon without any scheduling gaps.

One Piece Chapter 1153 Will Continue Harold’s Story

In Chapter 1153 of One Piece, it seems we’re not venturing anywhere else for now, since the previous chapter delved into Harold’s backstory, which dates back a century. This flashback appears to be leading us towards Loki unveiling the truth about the day Harold passed away, offering insights into Harold’s true character. Although the brief portrayal in the last chapter depicts Harold as a villainous figure, his status as the King of Giants at only 45 years old, revered by his people as a deity, hints at significant actions that earned him such respect. Therefore, there’s a chance that the upcoming chapter might include a mini-flashback within the flashback, potentially revealing Harold’s journey to becoming the King of Giants.

Furthermore, it’s come to light that Harold has connections with the World Government, and these past events seem poised to highlight this association, shedding more light on his true nature. While Loki appears villainous in recent scenes, it’s important to remember that Shanks also spoke positively about Harold during a quick encounter in the latest installment, implying that Harold might not have been entirely malicious. This revelation hints at the possibility that Harold may have collaborated with the World Government to further his personal goals. This theory aligns well with the idea that if Harold wasn’t fully committed to the World Government and Imu, it could have led Imu to deploy their ultimate weapon to seize power and enforce absolute obedience.

It’s still uncertain why Imu felt compelled to control Harold, but the sudden emergence of the mythical Devil Fruit right after the terrible incident suggests that perhaps Imu wanted the fruit all along. The moral standpoint of Harold remains undecided at this moment, but the recurring flashbacks in One Piece Chapter 1153 could help clarify the situation. Fortunately, fans won’t have to wait too long as the chapter is set to release without any interruptions.
