One Piece Chapter 1151 is set to be a major installment in the series, continuing the chaos unleashed by Imu. Fans were eager to see whether the latest chapter would explore Imu’s overwhelming dominance or delve into Gunko’s mysterious past, which was hinted to have a deep connection with a Straw Hat member. As the chapter chose to focus on Imu, it seems Gunkoโ€™s backstory will remain under wraps for now. In the meantime, the story is steadily building up Imuโ€™s power, now appearing immeasurable, especially given their ability to instantly command the obedience of formidable warriors like Dorry and Brogy.

One Piece Chapter 1151 Might Feature Luffy’s Arrival and His Confrontation with Imu

A snippet of the preview for Issue 28 of Weekly Shonen Jump has surfaced on X, highlighting One Piece and featuring Luffy in his Nika form facing off against Imu in Gunkoโ€™s form, reflecting their current states. Although the illustration used is an older one, its significance lies in the inclusion of the word โ€œversus,โ€ strongly suggesting that their confrontation is imminent, or at the very least, that the upcoming chapter will show Luffy confronting Imu. With the chaos escalating, especially as Dorry and Brogy fall under Imuโ€™s control and Scopper Gabban is out of the picture, it makes sense that Luffy would arrive in the next chapter.

Aside from Luffy, Zoro, Sanji, and Loki, there donโ€™t appear to be any other formidable figures currently on Elbaph capable of stopping the destruction. With Jarulโ€™s fate hanging by a thread as Dorry and Brogy close in to kill him, Luffyโ€™s arrival seems poised to halt the madness. This moment will also serve as a crucial benchmark to gauge how Luffyโ€™s Gear Five stacks up against Imu, arguably the final villain of One Piece. Fortunately, fans wonโ€™t have to wait long, as this long-awaited confrontation is set to arrive next week without any breaks.
