One Piece: Zoro's next power-up will be a new type of haki to defeat immortals
In the Elbaf arc, Zoro is about to unlock a new Haki ability—one that targets the soul and may help him defeat the strongest enemies yet. In the upcoming Elbaf arc—assuming that everyone can get past this pointless little Kadai beast and not be distracted by it—Zoro is going to be introduced to a new Haki ability altogether—one that attacks the soul directly, and that is going to be necessary if he is to defeat the strongest enemies introduced so far. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now One Piece is easily one of the most popular anime and manga series on the planet. It centers on a pirate crew captained by Monkey D. Luffy as they hunt for the fabled treasure called the 'One Piece.' Each of his crew members are extremely formidable, but one of the most beloved characters is the super-human swordsman Roronoa Zoro. Zoro is a master swordsman with serious disposition, massive strength. For good reason, as he's had some of the biggest baddies of the entire series—and now, as a foray into the climax of the Elbaf arc, fans think he's on the verge of unlocking a huge new ability that will turn everything from a fistfight into a street fight. Zoro already has conqueror's haki—But it's not enough During the Wano arc, Zoro had a climactic battle against the equally powerful King, whose bounty was 1.39 billion berries. Through this brutal struggle, Zoro achieved Conqueror's Haki, one of the most rare and potent forms of energy in the One Piece universe. This advanced type of Haki gives the user the ability to dominate others with their spirit and even imbue their weaponry with it for tremendous effect. Zoro's sword Enma enabled to unleash this dormant power by forcing his Haki beyond its limits. 'Then I will become the King of Hell!' — Zoro, after defeating King After this battle, Zoro's bounty increased to 1.111 billion berries, ensuring he is one of the most deadly pirates in existence. Even that power, though, may not be enough to face the new villain's threat on Elbaf. Imu and the immortal army are the biggest threat yet In the ongoing Elbaf arc, the story has definitely escalated to a new degree. The enigmatic ruler of the world, Imu, finally stepped into the main story line. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Imu is more than a political leader. They are extremely powerful, apparently immortal, and even lead a demon army called the Holy Knights. These foes are unlike any the Straw Hat Pirates have confronted in the grand quest. Even Luffy's most powerful punches with Gear 5 and Conqueror's Haki were futile against them. Which has fans of the series asking one very important question—how can these new foes be defeated? Zoro's next power-up will be soul-cutting haki Going off clues in the manga as well as speculation from fans, it's suggested that a unique form of Haki is required to take down opponents that can't be killed through traditional means. This Haki goes directly after the magical soul of one's opponent, skipping right over their corporeal form and even their immortality. This special ability hasn't been fully detailed yet, it appears to be what's used by Scopper Gaban, a legendary former crewmate of Gol D. Roger. Gaban, who is currently stuck in the Underworld, shown using attacks that damage immortal beings – an ability no one else has been able to use up until now. 'His attacks are doing damage. What was his secret to success and how did he accomplish it? — Chopper, flabbergasted at Gaban's strength It's hoped that Gaban will have the chance to teach this skill to Zoro in the near future, and perhaps the other Straw Hats as well. Zoro's training in Elbaf could make him admiral-level Once Zoro figures out the secret to cutting immortal bodies, he's going to be more powerful than ever before. Fans maintain that he would be able to go up against foes in minutes like the giant warrior Dorry or even have a fighting chance against Admirals of the Navy. Not just that, this would get him one step closer to beating his long-time foe—Dracule Mihawk, the world's strongest swordsman. Zoro's trained his whole life for that moment, and the Elbaf arc should finally set him up for it. One Piece chapter 1151 release date and time The next chapter of One Piece will come out . Sunday, 8 June 2025 (US/UK), TBC Legit platforms: Manga Plus, Viz Media 12 AM JST (Monday) Or, you can read it for free and legally through these services, which sync up the same day as Japan's official release. Zoro is consistently the most beloved character in all of One Piece, so each time he levels up it never fails to get fans pumped. This new Haki ability to cut through souls would make them the biggest game changers, particularly as the so-called Straw Hat Pirates gets ready to topple the biggest antagonist and main masterminds of One Piece. With Imu's demon army on the attack and the Final Saga at a zenith climax, Zoro's next power-up may very well determine the fate of the entire world.

One Piece finally reveals the truth behind the five elders' powers and immortality
One Piece's final dark saga is becoming more grim and fans are finally finding out how the Five Elders and Holy Knights became immortal monstrosities One Piece is one of the most popular and longest-running Japanese anime and manga franchises in the world. Written and illustrated by Eiichiro Oda, it chronicles the adventures of a young pirate named Monkey D. Luffy as he travels the world in search of the fabled treasure called the 'One Piece.' Now in its climactic final saga, One Piece is going all in on its most dangerous foes—especially the Five Elders, the Holy Knights, and that secretive, shadowy figure, Imu. In a surprising twist, fans just discovered the horrifying secret behind how some of them derived their superghastly abilities and unearthly longevity. One Piece chapter 1150 reveals Imu uses dark magic to grant immortality After years of speculation, in One Piece Chapter 1150, fans finally saw much more of Imu, the shadowy ruler of the world. Imu has remained in the shadows for much of the narrative, now they're coming out front and they're much more lethal than anyone thought. Imu is more than a political chief. They, or it, are a demon god who can conjure dark magic and has been using this magic to dominate the Five Elders and Holy Knights. This is one of the biggest changes made to the narrative, introducing magic and the demonic contracts they entail to the world of One Piece. "Allow Mu to show thee the dominance of a God!" – Imu How does Imu make the five elders immortal? As we've learned in the most recent chapter, Imu is able to cast unique and powerful spells known as Demon Contracts through a mystical grimoire. When an individual signs this social contract—voluntarily or involuntarily—they forfeit some portion of that lifetime. In exchange, they receive immortality, nearly unlimited strength and Yokai abilities (superpowers rooted in Japanese mythology). There is a catch. These contracts don't just deprive the person of their agency in creating these acts, but binding them with loyalty contracts magically makes them undead servants of Imu until their free will is restored. That's why the Five Elders aren't just immortal—that's because they are unconditionally loyal to Imu. "In exchange for a fleeting lifespan, thou shall gain an immortal body and prodigious strength!" – Imu Why the five elders and holy knights obey Imu If you think about it, the Five Elders are like the most powerful, influential guys in the One Piece world. They were already feared for their political influence. Their recent clashes during the Egghead Arc have established that they possess downright horrifying combat abilities as well. Fans were quick to be thrown off at the sight of them using Yokai-like abilities, even more perplexed by their apparent immortality. Now it all starts coming together. Despite their age, it seems that the Five Elders signed the Demon Contract of their own accord, sacrificing their humanity in exchange for immortality and mystical abilities. The Holy Knights, exhibiting signs of inhuman abilities, appear to have undergone a similar process. Imu vs Luffy: The final battle is coming For Luffy to truly become Pirate King, he'll have to fight Imu in an epic showdown and that battle has been set up ever since Imu's reveal. If Imu embodies everything dark, authoritarian and deathly, then the ideals of freedom, hope, life that Luffy now embodies are in direct conflict. From our perspective, the tale is gradually building to an ugly climax between these two warring factions. Now that the Elbaf Arc is in disarray and the Sun Realm has been hinted at as the next destination, it isn't too long before we see Luffy and Imu clash. As we have seen multiple times already, One Piece magic, mythology and overall power system is more expansive and deeper than ever before. Where to read One Piece Chapter 1150? We're working hard to finalize things and hope that everyone can join us as we take flight. Official Release Date: June 1, 2025 (Sunday for most non-US readers) Time: 12:00 AM JST (Japan Standard Time) The chapter will be available for free on Manga Plus and Viz Media. As yet unannounced, this chapter should further explore Imu's powers, the nature of the magic book in their possession, and the full extent of the Five Elders' transformation. One Piece just got even more intense Whether it's the big reveal about Imu's demon magic or the Five Elders' version of immortality, everything is turned upside down. Fans are just now getting to see One Piece enter this new phase, as all of those thematic elements are combined with laser-focused, intense action in the final saga. If you've been watching for decades or this is your first foray into the series, there's no better time to dive into the world of One Piece.

One Piece Chapter 1150 Brief Spoilers: Imu Turns Dorry And Brogy Into Giant Devils—Everything You Need To Know
As per the One Piece Chapter 1150 brief spoilers, the upcoming chapter will be titled 'Domi Reversi' and will continue the Yamato cover stories. The pilgrimage across Wano will conclude as Yamato returns Shimotsuki Yasuie's sword to the Enma Shrine located in Hakumai, ending this subplot. In Elbaph, the main story resumes with Imu, currently possessing Gunko's body, unleashing a massive wave of Conqueror's Haki. The blast is so intense that it incapacitates numerous adult Giants along with the children. This will be the first clear indication that Imu possesses Conqueror's Haki, distinct from Gunko's abilities. Following the shockwave, Dorry, Brogy, and the remaining conscious members of the Giant Warrior Pirates retaliate and launch an attack against the possessed Gunko. In response, Imu draws a mysterious magical book in the One Piece Chapter 1150 spoilers, the origin of which is not yet explained. Using this book, Imu conjures knives and firearms, then proceeds to stab and shoot Brogy, wounding one of his arms. Declaring that Elbaph lacks a ruler, Imu proclaims that Dorry and Brogy must become the new kings. Immediately after, Imu casts a forbidden technique called 'Devil's Contract.' This spell transforms Dorry and Brogy into monstrous demons in the One Piece Chapter 1150 spoilers, granting them both immense power and immortality. The cost for this transformation is a portion of their lifespan, implying a sinister exchange that likely parallels how the Gorosei and Holy Knights obtained their own immortality. As the chapter concludes, Imu commands a newly formed demon army, now including transformed Giant devils about the size of Oars the Continent-Puller, along with the MMA dream monsters previously seen under Saint Killingham's command. This terrifying force is then directed to eliminate Jarul, though Imu's motivation remains unclear. The One Piece Chapter 1150 spoilers end by stating there will be no break next week, confirming Chapter 1151 will release on June 9, 2025. For more spoilers like this and updates from the One Piece manga, keep an eye on Pinkvilla.
