In One Piece, Shanks has a deep connection to the Celestial Dragons and, in turn, the Holy Knights.
With One Piece chapter 1153, fans will most definitely see Harald properly, and get a better idea of what his life was like, and at the same time, what made him as great as he was. At the same time, fans expect Oda to dive deep into some other mysteries of the world in One Piece 1153, especially since this flashback is set 109 years ago.
Harald's Adventure Continues In One Piece Chapter 1153
- King Harald Will Likely Raid More Kingdoms
- Harald's Life Might Change Slowly
One Piece fans haven't seen much of King Harald just yet, and that's why the upcoming few chapters, starting with One Piece 1153, are going to be incredibly exciting. Harald has only been built up to be a legend so far. He's widely known to be the best King in the entire history of Elbaf, and at the same time, worshipped as a God by many. The fans know little truth behind all this, and that's precisely why One Piece chapter 1153 is so important.

That said, Harald was always the benevolent King that he's known to be. He was openly called trash by the narrator in One Piece 1152, and this was largely because his younger self was very rash and violent. Harald ascended the throne at just 45 years of age, which equates to 15 human years.
In One Piece chapter 1153, fans will likely see Harald wreak havoc on the seas across human Kingdoms. At the same time, Oda will most likely sprinkle some events that slowly give Harald enough of a reason to change his way of life.
Imu's Eyes Will Turn On The Giant Pirates
Imu Could Be Featured In The Harald Flashback in One Piece 1153
Fans know very well that whatever the Harald flashback will deliver will have a lot to do with Imu. After all, Imu is the one with whom Harald had a deal, and at the same time, Imu is the one who likely led to Harald's death. It is implied that Imu turned their eyes towards King Harald and sought to transform them into a demon, as hinted at in the previous chapter. It is also possible that Imu's obsession with the power of the Giants comes from King Harald. One Piece 1153 could see Imu observing Harald and his adventures, and growing obsessed with him, slowly.

The Birth Of Loki And Hajrudin Might Be Shown In One Piece 1153
Loki and Hajrudin are two central characters in the story, and fans know very well that they're going to be featured heavily in the Harald flashback. For now, they haven't been born, so fans are eagerly waiting to see when they join the story. It is possible that Loki and Hajrudin, or at the very least, Hajrudin will be born very soon. Fans might see Harald have a child with a foreign woman, and then take Hajrudin back to Elbaf with him. All that could eventually lead to Imu and Harald's eventual meeting, which the fans absolutely cannot wait to see.

However, the vast majority of international readers will see the chapter available on June 29. The official release date of One Piece Chapter 1152 is June 29, 2025.
