One Piece chapter 1147 is just around the corner and fans are eagerly waiting for the Elbaf arc to continue in an even more exciting fashion.

One Piece: Oda Has Already Revealed Scopper Gaban's True Purpose In The Elbaf Arc
Gaban has a huge role to play in Elbaf. His role will become more apparent in One Piece soon.
Gunko was able to deal with the Straw Hat Pirates effortlessly and this is what made the fans take the enemies seriously as well. With Collun now kidnapped, the Straw Hats humiliated, and Sommers preparing for a big speech, fans know that things are going to be very exciting moving forward and all eyes are on One Piece chapter 1147.
Sommers Makes His Announcement In One Piece Chapter 1147
- Killingham and Sommers Prepared An Announcement
- Elbaf Will Be Asked To Submit
One Piece chapter 1147 will most definitely pick up right from where the previous one left off and fans know that it is time for a big announcement from Saint Sommers. Oda might cut away to the Underworld of Elbaf for a while, but fans should fully expect the Sun World to be the focus of the chapter. Naturally, Saint Sommers will take the spotlight in One Piece chapter 1147, for various reasons.
School? Libraries? Don't kid yourselves! You guys are warriors, and you will be our mercenaries! — Saint Sommers
For one, it is clear that Saint Sommers is definitely going to ask Elbaf to submit. The children of Elbaf are being abducted on the orders of Shamrock Figarland, and they're all being taken to the Holy Land of Marijoa. The idea is to make Elbaf submit to the World Government and act as their mercenary force. In a way, the Government intends to use the children as hostages to force the Giants to work for them.
This might be surprising to some, but this strategy has a very good chance of working, especially knowing that Oimo and Kashi worked 50 years for the World Government to secure the freedom of Dorry and Brogy when they were lied to. The Giants are strong, but their hearts are rather simple. This is precisely why after Sommers makes his announcement in One Piece chapter 1147, the Giants will have to rally behind Gaban and go all out in battle against the Holy Knights to ensure the rescue of the children.
Scopper Gaban Joins The Battle Vs Holy Knights
Gaban Will Take The Spotlight In One Piece Chapter 1147
If there's one character that fans know will take center stage in One Piece chapter 1147, it is Scopper Gaban. This shouldn't come as a surprise to any fan. Gaban is incredibly important here, especially now that his son, Collun, has been kidnapped. Scopper Gaban is currently with the Giants, but he has better Haki than anyone and he could easily have sensed Collun being kidnapped. As such, Gaban might make his move in One Piece chapter 1147, and it is only a matter of time before he engages Gunko in combat to free his son, Collun.
I can still sense them. They're trying to hide their presence but I can feel them. — Gaban
One Piece: Oda Has Already Hinted At The True Main Villain Of Elbaf
The Holy Knights may not be the true main villains of Elbaf. The true one has yet to be revealed in One Piece.
One Piece chapter 1147 might give fans a look at an enraged Gaban, which would then set the stage up for an exciting battle in the Sun World of Elbaf. Of course, this battle won't be easy for Scopper Gaban, especially knowing that the Holy Knights can regenerate and that his son is in danger. Still, it is something that fans need to keep an eye out for.
Oda Sets Up Scopper Gaban Vs Gunko In One Piece 1147
If One Piece chapter 1147 gives fans Gaban vs Gunko, then it'll be immediately clear that the other two Holy Knights will join the battle as well. Scopper Gaban might actually be up against 3 Holy Knights at the same time, which is going to be a handful, even for someone as strong as him. Perhaps, the Straw Hat Pirates will back him up, or maybe they'll be asked by Gaban to stay on the sidelines. Either way, a massive battle is brewing in Elbaf, and it is only a matter of time before Oda has Gaban go all out to save his son, Collun.
One Piece chapter 1146 will be out very soon, later this week. As usual, One Piece is going to drop on the upcoming Sunday. In Japan, One Piece drops at 12AM JST on Monday. However, the vast majority of international readers will see the chapter available on April 20. The official release date of One Piece Chapter 1146 is April 20, 2025. Fans can read the chapter for free on Manga Plus.
