What happens when a legend’s fury is ignited? As the battle for Elbaph escalates, Scopper Gaban—one of the most elusive and powerful figures in the One Piece universe—may finally unleash the full might of his Supreme King Haki in Chapter 1147.
This highly anticipated chapter, releasing Monday, April 28, 2025, at 12 am JST, promises dramatic revelations, power clashes, and emotional stakes at an all-time high. In this preview, we dive deep into what lies ahead, based on the latest information and predictions circulating among the fandom.
What to Expect in Chapter 1147
The One Piece Chapter 1147 Preview has set the fandom ablaze. At the heart of the storm is Scopper Gaban, a former member of the Pirate King’s crew, and his sudden emergence into the spotlight as a father pushed to his limits. But what’s more thrilling? The possibility that he might finally wield the Supreme King Haki in raw fury—an act that could change the fate of Elbaph and beyond.
Set amidst the tense political backdrop of Elbaph and the Holy Knights’ wicked agenda, this chapter promises to test not just strength, but ideologies and loyalty.
Recap of Chapter 1146: Tensions Rise
Chapter 1146 paved the bloodstained road for what’s to come. Among the biggest developments:
- Gunko revealed the Holy Knights’ horrifying plan to abduct Giant children—an act meant to manipulate Elbaph into submission.
- Saint Shepherd Sommers ruthlessly defeated Jaguar D. Saul, showing no hesitation as he prepared for a worldwide broadcast to Elbaph.
- We saw Sommers condemning King Harald, mocking his decision to pursue pacifism rather than align with the World Government.
- Most notably, Colon, Gaban’s son, was kidnapped by Gunko, setting the stage for Gaban’s inevitable rage.
“The great war has already begun,” Gunko declared—a line that will echo through the rest of the arc.
Holy Knights’ Sinister Plan
The Holy Knights’ strategy is clear: force Elbaph to kneel by using their children as leverage. According to Sommers, King Harald had once agreed to support the World Government, only to withdraw later in favor of peace.
This betrayal is now being used as a pretext to divide the Giants, with Sommers expected to issue an ultimatum in his upcoming broadcast:
“Fight for the World Government, or your children will pay the price.”
If confirmed, this will mark a dark new chapter in the Government’s tactics—ones that eerily mirror the tactics used at Ohara and God Valley.
Scopper Gaban’s Son Kidnapped: A Catalyst for Rage
The kidnapping of Colon—Scopper Gaban’s son—might just be the emotional spark that pushes Gaban to reveal his true power.
Previously, Gaban had shown restraint, even in battle. But this is personal.
- The likely confrontation between Gaban and Gunko isn’t just about justice—it’s about vengeance.
- The stakes couldn’t be higher: a father’s wrath, a warrior’s pride, and a pirate legend being pushed to the edge.
And when a legend is provoked? History is written in the ashes.
Supreme King Haki: What It Means When Gaban Gets Angry
We already know Scopper Gaban possesses Supreme King Haki—a rare form of Haki only wielded by those destined to lead others. But the idea of him using it in a fit of rage is terrifyingly powerful.
- He once used Supreme King Haki to infuse a key during a sparring match with Luffy—a subtle but significant moment.
- This time, it could be fully unleashed, igniting the battlefield with its destructive aura.
Why is this moment so important?
Because it signals the beginning of Gaban’s awakening—a pirate king’s right-hand man stepping out of the shadows to take command of fate.
Gaban’s Legendary Attack: Yasotakeru
In Chapter 1140, Gaban unleashed his signature attack: Yasotakeru (Army of the Braves).
- A brutal flurry of axe strikes capable of slicing through Aurust Castle—a fortress designed for Giants.
- And he did it casually—without Haki.
Let that sink in.
If that was Gaban holding back, then what would his rage look like, backed by Supreme King Haki? Potentially, one of the most devastating displays of power in One Piece history.
Even Luffy and Zoro needed their strongest forms to stand against him. That’s the scale we’re talking about.
Clash of Titans: Gaban vs. Gunko
Everything points to a head-on collision between Scopper Gaban and Gunko.
- Gunko’s ruthlessness, Gaban’s fury—it’s the perfect storm.
- This battle won’t just be physical. It’s personal, it’s ideological, it’s primal.
Could this clash be the new benchmark for combat in the Final Saga? All signs say yes.
Predictions for Chapter 1147: Flashbacks and Clues
Sommers’ Broadcast Shakes Elbaph
The broadcast Sommers is about to deliver will likely reveal:
- Harald’s original pact with the World Government.
- His renunciation of war, promoting peace instead.
- A warning to all Giants: obey, or suffer.
This could fracture Elbaph’s unity, possibly igniting civil unrest.
The God Valley Connection
There are rumors Gaban may reference God Valley—a historic battle involving Roger, Garp, and the Celestial Dragons.
Such a mention would:
- Deepen the lore,
- Connect past atrocities with current events,
- And possibly foreshadow a larger conspiracy involving Elbaph, the Giants, and the ancient weapons.
Release Date and Anticipation
Here are the confirmed details:
- Release Date: April 28, 2025 (Monday)
- Time: 12 am JST
- Availability: Read via Viz Media, Manga Plus
Due to Golden Week in Japan, there will likely be a break following this chapter—making Chapter 1147’s cliffhanger all the more intense.
Gaban’s Fury and What Comes Next
If Chapter 1147 does deliver on what it promises, it will mark a watershed moment in One Piece’s Final Saga.
- Scopper Gaban’s fury is about to reshape the battlefield.
- The Supreme King Haki, once a symbol of royalty and dominance, is now a father’s vengeance unleashed.
- The stakes for Elbaph have never been higher.
As we await this explosive installment, one thing is clear:
“When a storm like Gaban rises, the world trembles.”
Stay tuned, and prepare for the clash of convictions, kings, and legends.
