After a long-awaited one-week break, One Piece Chapter 1172 spoilers have finally arrived—and instead of pure action, Eiichiro Oda delivers something far more dangerous: a perfect calm before the storm.
This chapter doesn’t rely on flashy fights. Instead, it carefully aligns every major player on Elbaf, setting the stage for what may become the true beginning of the Final War in One Piece.
The Calm Before the Final War
Chapter 1172 opens quietly, with a nostalgic cover page featuring the long-missing fan favorite Mr. 2 Bon Clay, instantly tugging at longtime fans’ hearts. But the calm doesn’t last.
Rather than focusing on a single clash, Oda uses this chapter to clarify motivations, alliances, and hidden histories—exactly the kind of groundwork that precedes world-shaking events in One Piece.
Elbaf Declares War on the World Government
The most explosive moment comes when Jarul, one of Elbaf’s ancient elders, officially declares war on the World Government—a decision unanimously supported by every giant.
This is monumental for several reasons:
- Elbaf is now confirmed to be historically connected to the mysterious “D” clan
- The giants had abandoned warfare centuries ago to pursue peace and education
- Jarul, over 400 years old, represents living history
When someone like Jarul condemns the World Government, it implies crimes so ancient and severe that forgiveness is impossible. This moment feels less like a battle cry and more like a historical verdict.
Many fans believe this declaration is the true starting signal of the Final War.
Brook’s Forgotten Past Is About to Surface
Elsewhere on Elbaf, Nami, Robin, and Usopp remain restrained by Ganko’s arrows—until the focus suddenly shifts to Brook.
Jinbe notices that Brook realizes something crucial after seeing Ganko. Moments later, Brook frees himself and completely disappears from the panel.
For One Piece readers, this is a massive red flag—in the best way.
Everything points toward a major Brook flashback, one that could uncover an unexplored era of the world’s history. As fans saw with Loki’s backstory, Oda’s flashbacks often expand into lore bombs involving ancient incidents, legendary pirates, and even the origins of Imu.
Brook may hold a key no one expected.
Zoro Says the Most Dangerous Words Possible
Things take a darker turn when Hajrudin and the giants discover that Dorry and Brogy have been transformed by the terrifying “Dommy Rivers” spell—a curse even legends like Roger and Garp couldn’t undo.
With Luffy absent, hope is thin.
Then it happens.
After hearing the situation, Roronoa Zoro calmly says:
“I’ve got a plan.”
For longtime fans, this is both iconic and terrifying. Zoro is many things—but a strategist is not usually one of them. Even the narrator reacts with dread, perfectly capturing the fandom’s collective fear.
Chaos is guaranteed.
Loki’s Name Is Finally Cleared
In a powerful moment of unity, Jarul publicly reveals the truth behind King Harald’s death, officially clearing Loki’s name after a century of dishonor.
This revelation isn’t just emotional—it’s strategic.
With a war against the God’s Knights approaching, Elbaf needs complete unity. Restoring Loki’s honor ensures their strongest warrior—the only known giant to have killed a God Knight—can fight without mistrust or division.
The Board Is Set
One Piece Chapter 1172 is a masterclass in narrative buildup. Every piece is now in place:
- Elbaf has chosen war
- Brook’s hidden past is awakening
- Zoro’s plan threatens chaos
- Loki stands redeemed
The storm isn’t coming anymore—it’s already here.
And the best news? There’s no break next week.
