After a two-week-long break, One Piece is set to return with chapter 1175 later this week, and fans are incredibly excited at the final battle of Elbaf finally beginning. In the previous chapter of the manga, the biggest battle in the Final Saga of One Piece yet was officially set up by the author, Eiichiro Oda, as Loki and Luffy emerged from the Underworld of Elbaf to take on none other than Imu, the sovereign of the world.
Currently, the state of Elbaf is grim, but Luffy and his allies will make sure to free the country from the clutches of the World Government and to do what they must to confront the full force of the Holy Knights and Imu themself. One Piece chapter 1175 is going to be absolutely massive in that regard, and it is sure to deliver incredible action later this week as the manga makes its official comeback.
One Piece Chapter 1175 Release Date
The Manga Returns After A Two-Week Break
The One Piece manga is set to make its return with Chapter 1175 later this week. After the release of One Piece Chapter 1174 on February 15, 2026, Eiichiro Oda, the author of the series, decided to take a break. This should not have come as a surprise to any fan, given that Oda completed his three-chapter run and usually he always takes a break following three-chapter releases. One Piece did not have a chapter release in the previous issue of Shonen Jump, which meant that no chapter was published on February 22. Instead, One Piece Chapter 1175 will be released on March 1, 2026, which is later this weekend, at 11:00 AM EST, or 8:00 AM PT.
The upcoming chapter of One Piece will be incredibly exciting for all the fans of the story, as Oda's return will mark the beginning of the climax of the incredible Elbaf Arc, with the children of the country having been rescued already. It is time for the battles to finally unfold, with fans expecting three full chapters of exciting action.
One Piece 1175 Preview: What To Expect From The Chapter?
As One Piece makes its return later this week with chapter 1175, all eyes are currently on Luffy and Loki because, at the moment, the fate of the entire country rests on them. Luffy and Loki are the two strongest characters in Elbaf who are on the side of the Giants, and if anyone is capable of stopping the forces of Imu, it is these two warriors. More than that, fans are eagerly waiting to see how Oda develops their teamwork and, at the same time, how they end up confronting Imu and the Holy Knights in the upcoming chapter.
Allow Mu to show thee the dominance of a God! — Imu
A lot of exciting developments will take place in chapter 1175, especially now that the build-up to the battle has already happened. The next three chapters of the One Piece manga should deliver some intriguing action in this arc and finally give fans the biggest Elbaf matchups as well.

Loki's Devil Fruit Powers Are Finally Put On Display
One of the most important things that One Piece Chapter 1175 is going to focus on is going to be Loki's Devil Fruit power. For a very long time, fans were eagerly anticipating the reveal of Loki's fruit. This happened in One Piece Chapter 1174, where Oda officially showcased his dragon Devil Fruit powers. While the Devil Fruit remains unnamed at this point, it is quite clearly the Nidhogg dragon, and One Piece Chapter 1175 might officially put that label on it.
One Piece: Loki's Dragon Devil Fruit, Explained
Loki's black dragon Devil Fruit has finally been revealed, and it is one of the strongest in One Piece history.
More than that, his Devil Fruit powers have not been properly revealed yet. Loki is a dragon, but his special abilities have not been highlighted in the story. Chapter 1175 could do a great job in that regard. There are plenty of MMA soldiers for Loki to take on, and at the same time, the Holy Knights and the demonic enslaved Giants as well. Loki is likely to test his powers against them in the upcoming chapter, which will also give the fans a good idea of what he is capable of doing in battle.
As is the case with all Mythical Zoan type Devil Fruits, Loki should be able to utilize some special powers, such as breathing fire or perhaps even dealing soul damage. One Piece Chapter 1175 could show fans what exactly his fruit can do.
Imu and Luffy Clash For The First Time
While Loki is certainly going to take up the center stage in One Piece Chapter 1175, one also cannot forget about Luffy as the protagonist of the series. Luffy has a big responsibility on his shoulders in the Elbaf Arc as he goes up against Imu, the final antagonist of One Piece. Their confrontation might seem a bit too premature at this time, but it is not necessary for them to have an all-out clash in Elbaf.
Don't say anything anymore, Chopper. I already understand. — Luffy

It must also be remembered that Imu is currently in Gunko's body, which should be limiting his power greatly. As such, even if Luffy and Imu end up having a clash here, it is only going to serve as an appetizer for what is to come later down the line in the Final Saga. One Piece Chapter 1175 might give the fans a proper clash between Luffy and Imu, which will be the first time in 800 years that this fight between Nika and Imu will resume. It is surely going to be a moment of tremendous importance in the entire story that will be remembered for ages to come.

The Holy Knights Are Finally Engaged In Battle
Along with Luffy and Loki being thrown into action, One Piece Chapter 1175 will also most likely focus on the other members of the Straw Hat Pirates. As has been established in the story already, the Straw Hats and the Giant Warrior Pirates will have to work together to save the country. Currently, there are two Holy Knights in Sommers and Killingham who are running rampant. Furthermore, there are also plenty of powerful demonic slaves in the country, and all of them need to be dealt with in one way or another. This is where the Straw Hat Pirates will come into the picture.
A lot of the focus needs to be thrown on the likes of Zoro and Sanji, because these two characters desperately need to level up their skill. More than that, other Straw Hats have just been freed from the constraints of Gunko, and as such, they will have huge roles to play as well. The Owl's Library must be prevented from being burned down, and the children must be dropped off at a safe place as well. Elbaf isn't truly safe just yet, and a lot of work needs to be put in by the Straw Hat Pirates and the Giant Warrior Pirates to ensure the safety and sovereignty of the country. The quickest way to do that is to confront the Holy Knights, and with that, the main battles will commence. It is surely going to be a brilliant chapter of One Piece, and with its release, One Piece will mark the beginning of another three-chapter run that should continue over the course of the next few weeks.
