The chapter opens with a narrator highlighting the Kuja Pirates’ fame during the Roger era, likening them to an “idol group” of fierce, celebrated women. Their bounty posters fetched high prices, and their captain, Gloriosa, led with authority, while Shakuyaku (later known as “Empress” Shakky) stole hearts with her beauty and bold demeanor. The Roger Pirates cross paths with the Kuja Pirates when Roger impulsively tries to recruit Shakuyaku. She rejects him with a sharp punch, leaving a comically large bump on his head and declaring, “I belong to no one.” Gloriosa, harboring a crush on Roger reminiscent of Hancock’s love-sickness, confesses her feelings with a dramatic hug, but Roger dismisses her, fixated on Shakky. Most of Roger’s crew (except Rayleigh) are smitten by Shakuyaku’s charm, unable to fight effectively. Shakky playfully offers their treasure to Rayleigh with a wink, making even the composed first mate blush. The romantic chaos is interrupted when Garp arrives with a Marine ship, forcing the Kuja Pirates to retreat. Roger’s crew stays to confront the Marines, leading to an electrifying double-page spread of Roger and Garp clashing. Their Supreme King Haki shakes the sea as Garp unleashes “Meteor Fist” and Roger counters with a new sword technique, “Wild Soul” (Ara Mitama, inspired by Shinto’s four human spirits). The narrator reflects on this era as a time of legendary battles among titans like Roger, Garp, and Rocks. Elsewhere, in Elbaph, Ida invites Loki to live with her and Hajrudin, but Loki declines, revealing his ambition to join the Rocks Pirates when they return. On Hachinosu (Pirate Island), a new character, Kyou the Yakuza (later Silver Axe), is introduced. A towering figure with a chest tattoo, axe-patterned kimono, and sunglasses, Kyou resembles Zephyr from One Piece Film Z and is depicted as Shiki’s rival, attacking pirates with his massive axe. The chapter closes with a stunning double-page spread of the Rocks Pirates inside Hachinosu’s giant skull. New crew members are revealed: Charlotte Linlin, Streusen, Kaidou, John, and Barbel (a Catfish Fishman with flame-like hair). Rocks outlines his grand plan, requiring two legendary Devil Fruits—one in Elbaph, which he wants Harald to eat—and locating the Galleila giants. He declares Elbaph’s importance in conquering the Holy Land, rallying his crew with a bold promise: “I will show you what’s on the summit of the world!” Note: The chapter spans 19 pages (2 color pages, 17 black-and-white). Weekly Shonen Jump will take a break next week for Japan’s Obon holiday.

- Nostalgic Charm and Humor: The Kuja Pirates’ “idol group” status and their interactions with the Roger Pirates are a delight. Shakuyaku’s confident rejection of Roger and her flirtatious wink at Rayleigh are highlights, showcasing her as a charismatic figure. Gloriosa’s unrequited love adds a comedic parallel to Hancock’s later obsession, reinforcing Oda’s knack for weaving emotional continuity across generations.
- Epic Action: The Roger vs. Garp clash is a visual spectacle, with the double-page spread of “Meteor Fist” and “Wild Soul” radiating raw power. The use of Supreme King Haki and the Shinto-inspired naming of Roger’s technique add depth to the fight, cementing this era’s battles as legendary.
- World-Building: The introduction of Kyou the Yakuza and new Rocks Pirates members like Barbel expands the roster of historical figures, while Rocks’ plan involving legendary Devil Fruits and the Galleila giants raises the stakes. The mention of Elbaph’s role in targeting the Holy Land is a tantalizing tease for future plotlines.
- Art and Pacing: Oda’s art shines, from the lively color spread to the detailed character designs (Kyou’s Zephyr-like aesthetic is a nice nod to non-canon content). The pacing keeps the chapter engaging, juggling multiple locations and plot threads without feeling rushed.
- Overcrowded Cast: While exciting, the introduction of multiple new characters (Kyou, Barbel, etc.) can feel overwhelming, especially for readers less familiar with the Rocks Pirates’ lore. Some may struggle to keep track of the expanding roster.
- Limited Straw Hat Presence: The flashback-heavy arc means the Straw Hats are relegated to the color spread, which might disappoint fans eager for their return. However, this is a minor gripe given the arc’s purpose.
- Unclear Devil Fruit Speculation: The trivia about the Yami Yami Fruit being one of Rocks’ “legendary” Devil Fruits feels speculative and isn’t confirmed in the chapter. This could confuse readers, as the connection to Blackbeard and Loki’s fruit remains ambiguous.
Chapter 1,156 is a love letter to One Piece’s rich history, blending humor, action, and intrigue. It excels at fleshing out the Kuja and Rocks Pirates while setting up major revelations about Elbaph and the Holy Land. Despite a slightly crowded cast, Oda’s storytelling and art keep the chapter engaging. Fans of the series’ lore will find plenty to love, though casual readers might need a refresher on the historical context. The Obon break leaves us eagerly awaiting the next chapter to see how Rocks’ ambitious plan unfolds.
