As we stand on the brink of a monumental conclusion to one of the most beloved manga series in history, the excitement surrounding the final chapters of ONE PIECE is palpable. Eiichiro Oda has captivated audiences for decades, and with the release of Chapter 1134, fans are eager to uncover the mysteries that lie ahead. This article delves into the latest developments and what they mean for the future of the series.

The Anticipation of the Final Chapter

Eiichiro Oda’s official portal site has revealed the first page of Chapter 1134, set to be published in Weekly Shonen Jump on December 23! For those who wish to wait for the official release date, please refrain from reading further.

Chapter 1134 Preview

• Straw Hat Luffy’s Declaration
• Luffy’s Name
• Saul’s Recognition of Luffy

In the preview, Luffy is seen making a declaration in front of Saul, dressed in a manner that suits him, though his speech is somewhat lacking. However, it remains true to Luffy’s character and is quite amusing. When Robin introduces Luffy, Saul recognizes him, exclaiming,“He’s famous!”and laughs, saying,“I can’t believe we finally met!”This moment highlights Luffy’s growing reputation.

Luffy’s Name and Identity

The scene where Luffy makes his declaration is portrayed humorously, yet it may conceal significant implications. If Robin hadn’t interrupted Luffy, he would have introduced himself fully. This raises questions about how Luffy identifies himself. Does he simply say,“I’m Luffy,”or does he include his full name, Monkey D. Luffy? The absence of his full name in recent chapters suggests a deliberate choice to keep the significance of the ‘D’ hidden as the story progresses.

Saul’s Knowledge of Luffy

Saul refers to Luffy as a“famous person,”indicating that he has been aware of Luffy’s exploits for some time. Given that Saul has been in Elbaf for 22 years, it is likely that he learned about Luffy through news reports following the events in Wano. This raises questions about how much Saul knows about Luffy and Robin’s adventures as members of the Straw Hat Pirates.

Conclusion

As we approach the final chapters of ONE PIECE, the anticipation builds. The upcoming chapters promise to reveal more about Luffy’s identity and the connections between characters. Fans are encouraged to stay tuned for the latest updates and discussions surrounding this iconic series.
