One Piece Chapter 1158 Preview: The God Valley Incident Edges Closer

After a two-week break, Eiichiro Oda is finally making his return to Jump with One Piece chapter 1158 later this week, and fans couldn't be more excited for what he has to deliver. Currently, One Piece is in the Elbaf arc, specifically in the Loki flashback, which has introduced the fans to some absolutely incredible characters, such as Rocks D. Xebec and Harald, and also given glimpses of other legendary figures like Roger.

One Piece chapter 1158 will continue to explore this flashback, and fans will, undoubtedly, get to see some of the most intense developments in the story that all culminate in the God Valley Incident. At the beginning of One Piece chapter 1158, Oda will take the fans to 42 years ago, and from there onwards, the story will progress towards the God Valley Incident, which took place 38 years ago. Shakky, Rocks, Harald, and Roger will be central to One Piece 1158, as Oda gets closer than ever before to drawing the God Valley Incident in its entirety.

One Piece Chapter 1158 Will Build Up to The God Valley Incident

Roger, Rocks, and Harald Will Be Central To One Piece 1158

• Shakky Will Be Kidnapped By The Holy Knights
• A Set Up For The God Valley Incident Will Happen

One Piece chapter 1158 will most definitely set up the God Valley Incident properly, and in the next few chapters, fans will get to see what truly happened on the island of God Valley 38 years ago. Since the story right now is around 42 years before the current timeline, there is still buildup left before fans experience the God Valley Incident in the fullest. The trigger for the God Valley, for instance, hasn't been pulled yet, but it has certainly been introduced already.

This trigger is none other than Shakky, the most beautiful woman of the era. As the previous chapter revealed, Shakky decided to quit piracy and settled on the Pirate Island to open her own business. She came to be known as the Treasure of Pirate Island. From the Egghead arc, fans know that the Treasure of God Valley gets stolen and that's how the God Valley Incident starts.

As such, One Piece chapter 1158 will likely see Shakky in danger, possibly being kidnapped and taken to the Holy Land of Marijoa, or potentially to the Marines. In one way or another, Shakky has to be kidnapped and that will eventually lead to the ultimate battle between Roger, Rocks, Garp, and the Holy Knights. Right now, the story still has to build up towards all that, which means things will move at a slower pace.

Other than that, One Piece 1158 will also most likely give the fans a glimpse of Rocks Vs Harald. As seen in the previous chapter, Harald was ordered to kill Rocks for Elbaf to become a part of the World Government, and he will most likely take up the offer, which means a big battle is about to happen the next time Rocks visits Elbaf.

How One Piece Chapter 1158 Will Impact The Story

The Most Awaited Event, Called The God Valley Incident, Will Finally Be Shown

One Piece chapter 1158 is going to be absolutely massive for the Loki flashback, and above all, it is going to be key to setting up the God Valley Incident, which will finally put an end to Rocks D. Xebec, potentially at the hands of Gol D. Roger, when the God Valley Incident begins. At the same time, fans will also most definitely get to see Imu get more involved in the plot, which makes things all the more exciting. All in all, One Piece 1158 will most likely focus on Shakky, Rocks, Harald, and of course, Gol D. Roger.

One Piece Chapter 1158 will be out this week. As usual, One Piece is going to drop on Sunday. In Japan, One Piece drops at 12AM JST on Monday. However, the vast majority of international readers will see the chapter available on August 31. The official release date of One Piece Chapter 1158 is August 31, 2025. Fans can read the chapter for free on Manga Plus.
