The hype for One Piece Chapter 1154 is through the roof as Eiichiro Oda dives deeper into the Elbaf arc! After the jaw-dropping flashback in Chapter 1153, fans are itching to see what's next for Luffy, the Straw Hats, and the mysterious Prince Loki. Here's the latest scoop on Chapter 1154's release, what might happen, and where to catch it. When Does One Piece Chapter 1154 Drop?
Mark your calendars! One Piece Chapter 1154 hits on Monday, July 14, 2025, at 12:00 AM JST, which is Sunday, July 13, 2025, at 10:00 AM ET/8:00 AM PT for fans outside Japan. Oda's taking his usual break after Chapter 1153, so expect spoilers to pop up on X or forums around July 8–10, 2025. You can read it legally on Viz Media or Manga Plus for free (latest chapters only) or grab a $2.99/month Shonen Jump subscription for the full One Piece saga. What Happened in Chapter 1153?
Chapter 1153, 'The Birth of Loki,' took us 109 years back to Elbaf's past with a gut-punch of a flashback:
King Harald's Arc: Harald started as a reckless giant but grew wiser after meeting Ida, a giantess who taught him to respect other cultures. They had Hajrudin, but Elbaf's elders pushed Harald to marry Estrid, a traditionalist.
Loki's Dark Beginnings: Estrid gave birth to Loki, whose eerie eyes sparked panic. A prophecy warned Loki would kill Harald, so Estrid ditched him in Elbaf's Underworld. Baby Loki, surrounded by dead beasts, climbed the massive Treasure Tree Adam, hinting at his insane strength.
The Curse Label: Estrid's fear and sickness cemented Loki as the 'Accursed Prince,' blamed for Elbaf's troubles.
This sets up a juicy conflict for Chapter 1154, with Loki's past and present colliding. What's Coming in Chapter 1154?
No spoilers yet, but based on Chapter 1153 and X chatter, here's what might go down: 1. Loki's Rise in the Underworld
The flashback could show how Loki survived Elbaf's Underworld: Did he master a crazy power, maybe tied to the Devil Fruit stolen from Elbaf?
Was Loki framed for Harald's death, or did someone (cough, Imu, cough) pull the strings? 2. Harald vs. the World Government
We might learn: Why the World Government, possibly Imu, turned Harald into a demonic beast (like Dorry and Brogy now).
How Shanks ties in, since he was around when Harald died 14 years ago. Could he have snagged Elbaf's legendary Devil Fruit, maybe Luffy's Nika fruit? 3. Back to Luffy and the Straw Hats
The story might swing back to the present: Luffy's Big Heart : Luffy's dead-set on freeing Loki, calling him a friend. Will Hajrudin, who hates Loki, clash with Luffy over this?
God's Knights Looming: The World Government's elite squad could show up, hinting at a massive Elbaf battle. 4. Hot Fan Theories
X fans are buzzing with ideas: A link to Big Mom or the Rocks Pirates , who hit Elbaf decades ago.
Shanks spilling secrets about the Devil Fruit or his Elbaf visit.
Loki flipping from villain to ally, thanks to Luffy's knack for winning hearts.
