Warning: This post has big spoilers about One Piece Episode 1146! Do not read if you don’t want to know what happens next.
Episode 1146 of One Piece will be super exciting and full of action. The episode is coming out on October 19, 2025, after being delayed. Fans are going to see some of the most intense battles ever in the series.
Major Battles Happening
Three huge fights are going to happen at the same time in this episode:
Gunko vs The Straw Hat Pirates: This is the biggest fight of the episode. Gunko is a powerful Holy Knight who attacks Nami, Brook, Usopp, Jinbe, and Colon. She has amazing arrow powers that can follow people around like magic.
Killingham vs The Teachers: Saint Killingham fights against the teachers at Walrus School. He uses scary nightmare powers that create monsters from children’s bad dreams.
Sommers vs Saul: Saint Sommers battles against the giant Jaguar D. Saul. This fight is very important because Saul is trying to protect the library and the children.
What Happens With Gunko
Gunko is one of the Holy Knights, which makes her much stronger than regular enemies. When she first appears, Nami thinks she is just a human intruder. But Gunko says she is not human – she calls herself a God.
This makes Usopp very angry because it reminds him of bad guys like Enel and the Celestial Dragons. Gunko talks down to everyone like she is better than them.
The Straw Hats try their best to fight back. Nami attacks first using her Thunder Shark Tempo move with Zeus. But Gunko has a special power called “Arrow Edge” that can send attacks right back at the person who made them.
Usopp gets his moment to shine when he uses an explosive attack that actually hurts Gunko badly. Half of her body gets blown away! Everyone thinks Usopp won the fight.
But then something scary happens. Gunko starts healing herself just like the Five Elders can do. Her body grows back completely in just a few seconds. This shows that the Holy Knights have the same regeneration powers as the strongest villains.
After healing, Gunko captures Colon. She wants to take all the giant children to the Holy Land Mariejois. She says they need the giants to help them in a huge war that is coming.
The Big War Revelation
Gunko reveals something very important about the future. She says that a massive war is coming that will involve the whole world. This war will be bigger than anything we have seen before.
She explains that some smart people like Dr. Vegapunk, Professor Clover, and Olvia tried to warn everyone about this war. But now that the secret is out, the war cannot be stopped.
The giants of Elbaf will be very important in deciding who wins this war. That is why the Holy Knights are trying to kidnap the giant children – to use them as hostages.
What Happens to Other Characters
Luffy and Loki are still in the Underworld part of Elbaf. They are both eating lots of food and getting very fat from it. But more importantly, fans will finally start to see Loki’s backstory.
Killingham defeats the teachers at the school using his nightmare powers. His ability to create monsters from children’s fears makes him very dangerous.
Sommers beats Saul in their fight. This is very sad because Saul was trying to protect Robin and Chopper. Before he falls unconscious, he tells them to hide in his hair to stay safe.
Brook’s Mysterious Connection
Something strange happens when Brook meets Gunko. Instead of fighting right away, Gunko seems to recognize Brook from somewhere. She acts surprised to see him, like she knows him from the past.
This could be connected to Brook’s life before he joined the Straw Hats. Maybe Gunko knew him when he was still alive, or there is some other secret connection between them.
The Holy Knights’ True Power
Episode 1146 will show fans just how powerful the Holy Knights really are. They are much stronger than anyone expected:
- Regeneration abilities like the Five Elders
- Special Devil Fruit powers that can control arrows and nightmares
- God-like attitudes where they think they are better than humans
The Holy Knights are probably the strongest enemies the Straw Hats have ever faced besides the Five Elders themselves. They work directly for the World Government and have been given incredible powers.
Why This Episode Is So Important
This episode marks the beginning of the final war that will end the One Piece series. Everything that has happened so far has been building up to this moment.
The war will involve every major power in the world. Pirates, Marines, Revolutionaries, and the World Government will all fight against each other. The side that gets the giants’ help will have a huge advantage.
Dr. Vegapunk’s message about the world ending is connected to this war. The World Government has been trying to hide the truth, but now everyone knows what is coming.
What Fans Can Expect
Episode 1146 will have amazing animation because the studio took a two-week break to work on it. The fight scenes will look incredible, especially Gunko’s regeneration and arrow powers.
The episode will also be very emotional. Seeing Saul get defeated will make fans very sad. But seeing Usopp be brave and attack a Holy Knight will make fans cheer.
Brook’s mysterious past will start to be revealed. This could lead to some of the most interesting story developments in the series.
The episode ends with the Straw Hats in a very dangerous situation. Colon has been captured and the Holy Knights are winning all their fights. This sets up even more intense episodes to come.
The Future of Elbaf
After Episode 1146, the Elbaf arc will get much more serious. The fun and games are over – now it is time for the most important battles in One Piece history.
Scopper Gaban will probably have to join the fight to help the Straw Hats. He is one of the few people strong enough to challenge the Holy Knights.
The giant children are in great danger. If the Holy Knights succeed in taking them, it could change the outcome of the final war.
This episode proves that One Piece is getting close to its ending. All the biggest mysteries and battles are finally happening. Fans should get ready for the most exciting part of the series yet.
Episode 1146 will be remembered as the episode where the final war officially began. Everything changes after this point in the story.
