What happens when stillness hides chaos? That question echoes loudly in One Piece Chapter 1146, titled “Within the Stillness, There is Movement.” This chapter doesn’t just advance the story—it detonates it. Three battles explode simultaneously on Egghead Island, and a new “god” rises from the shadows.
Fans are already raving online, calling this chapter a turning point in the Egghead arc. If you’re wondering why this chapter is trending worldwide, strap in. We’ll walk you through every intense panel, every theory-stirring moment, and every bit of what it means for the future of the Straw Hats and beyond.
Chapter Overview: A Triple Threat on Egghead Island
One Piece 1146 drops us into chaos with three major battles happening in parallel:
- Gunko vs. Colon Pirates (Colon, Nami, Jinbe, Brook, and Usopp)
- Saint Rimoshifu Killingham vs. Walrus Academy Teachers
- Saint Shepherd Sommers vs. Jaguar D. Saul
These aren’t just skirmishes. Each battle is packed with world-building, shocking reveals, and intensifying stakes. Here’s a breakdown of how the battlefield is unfolding.
Gunko Unleashed: More Than a Human, More Than a Threat
Gunko’s battle with the Colon Pirates is the main attraction of Chapter 1146. Here’s what we know:
- Nami misidentifies Gunko as a mere human intruder.
- Gunko corrects her: “I am not human. I am a god.”
She’s not just talking big. Gunko unleashes an attack called “Aloe Arrow Edge”, reflecting Nami’s own Weatheria-based attacks right back at her. Then she counters Jinbe and Brook in the same way, mimicking a full-counter combat style we’ve seen in other popular series.
Usopp lands a solid hit with his Pop Greens, but the moment of triumph is cut short—Gunko regenerates her limbs entirely. That moment solidifies her place among One Piece’s deadliest foes.
“Even gods can bleed—but they can also heal.” — Fan reaction from Reddit
And then comes the twist: Gunko kidnaps Colon. No one knows why. Tension rises, and speculation runs wild about her motives. Could it tie into her divine identity?
The Cover Page: Ulti and Yamato’s Unexpected Bond
In a beautifully detailed continuation of Yamato’s pilgrimage, we see an unlikely character reemerge: Ulti.
Saved alongside her brother Page One, Ulti expresses a heartfelt desire to serve under Yamato. Former enemies becoming allies? That could change the balance of power in Wano and beyond.
This simple image sends a clear signal: the tides of allegiance are shifting.

Saint Killingham: A Swift, Brutal Victory
Saint Rimoshifu Killingham doesn’t waste time. In a blink, the Walrus Academy teachers are defeated. His power is clear, but what’s less obvious is what he represents: the brutal, uncompromising nature of the Holy Knights.
No grand speeches, no flashy abilities—just efficient domination.
Quote:
“Killingham didn’t just win. He sent a message: mercy has no place on this battlefield.”
Saint Sommers vs. Jaguar D. Saul: When Legends Fall
This is where Chapter 1146 cuts deep emotionally.
Jaguar D. Saul, long thought lost and recently revealed alive, faces off with Saint Shepherd Sommers. The result? Saul lies battered and broken.
The chapter ends on a dramatic double-page spread, showing Saul gravely injured—a callback to Ohara, to Robin, and the pain of the past.
For many fans, this was the gut-punch moment.
“How many more legends must fall before the world government is satisfied?” — Twitter reaction
Comic Relief: Luffy Still Eating
While the world burns around him, Luffy is shown doing what he does best during tension: eating.
This moment is pure Luffy. It shows his detachment, but also reminds us that he may have a plan or he’s just being Luffy. Either way, it brings a bit of levity amidst chaos.
