One Piece’s Elbaf arc continues to heat up and fans got to see quite a lot of exciting content this week, even though it was more of a setup chapter.

At this point in time, the Holy Knights and Imu have the upper hand in the battle, which is expected.
One Piece: Oda Has Already Revealed One Piece's Second Main Character, And It Isn't Zoro
One Piece fans believe Zoro is the second main character, but Oda confirms this is false.
Fans have gotten a good look at the abilities of the Holy Knights, but it seems they have more in store than what was assumed previously. Oda has now revealed an Awakened form for one of the most powerful Holy Knights, Saint Rimoshifu Killingham.
The Holy Knights Have Awakened Devil Fruit Powers
- Killingham Is An Awakened Devil Fruit User
- Others Could Be Awakened As Well
The Holy Knights are incredibly powerful and there is no denying that fact. Although Gaban made quick work of one, that doesn't mean they're weak. It just means that Gaban is that strong. As seen in One Piece chapter 1151, the Holy Knights have only boosted their abilities to the next level, especially Killingham. Previously, fans saw Killingham in his hybrid Kirin form when he first arrived. Some fans seem to be confused about his transformations, but it was indeed a hybrid form. He obviously has a full Zoan form as well, as well as a full human form.
Now that the Great One is here, I've taken things seriously too! — Killingham
One Piece: Oda Just Revealed The Power Of Imu's Conqueror's Haki
Imu has powerful conqueror's haki alongside their other powerful abilities.
In One Piece chapter 1151, fans saw a completely new form of Killingham, and this is, obviously, his awakened Devil Fruit form. As was mentioned clearly in Wano, Zoan-type Devil Fruit users get an extra transformation when they awaken. This is why Luffy has Gear 5 as his awakening, and fans also got to see Lucci and Kaku’s transformations in Egghead. Now, another character has revealed their awakened Zoan Devil Fruit.
Saint Killingham Uses The Awakened Form Of The Ryu Ryu no Mi, Model: Kirin
The Ability Turns Him Into A Centaur-like Creature
Saint Killingham Rimoshifu is quite powerful, but so far, he has been hiding his strength. In One Piece chapter 1152, Killingham finally unleashed his full power after he entered his awakened Kirin state. In his awakened form, it is quite clear that Killingham has a centaur-like body. He also maintains his human top-half, and he carries his trident as well. Killingham's abilities are also boosted to a whole other level when he accesses this power and that's what makes him very special. This means he can manifest dreams far better in this form, and his dream manifestations are also much stronger.
Good, you've shown that you're obedient. — Killingham
How Strong Is Saint Killingham?
At this point, Killingham should be stronger than a Yonko First Commander, for sure. Although his exact strength is hard to quantify, what can be said is that he's going to be stronger than any enemy the Straw Hats have faced in the past, aside from Luffy. It will be interesting to see who Killingham ends up fighting. The most logical answer would be one of the Straw Hat Pirates, possibly Jinbe. This would give Jinbe his first big battle as a part of the Straw Hat Pirates, given how weak Who's Who was.
One Piece Chapter 1151 will be out in a 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 June 8. The official release date of One Piece Chapter 1151 is June 8, 2025.
