One Piece Chapter 1148 Summary
The God’s Knights’ Ultimatum
One Piece chapter 1148 cover photo sees Yamato continue her journey in Wano. She’s seen heading to meet Kawamatsu to return a hat, with Page One and Ulti seen following her in the background. The chapter then opens with God’s Knight Gunko threatening a young giant girl, Ronia, by pushing her toward a cliff’s edge. The remaining children are seeing yelling at Ronia to come back, but she remains calm, saying there is nothing to worry about.
Gunko tells Sommers that the first child is about to fall, to which Sommers orders Gunko to make sure all of Elbaph hears her voice. He then pressures Jarul to decide within 30 seconds to set the school and library on fire, or he’ll drop Ronia. Sommers says that no book should be taken out of the library because what they want to destroy is Elbaph’s culture and history.
Robin’s Rescue Plan
Nico Robin, unable to see this continue any longer, attacks Sommers, slapping him, causing him to fall. She uses her Devil Fruit powers to break Sommers’ back, making him cough up blood. However, Robin is aware that Sommers is immortal, and she will not be able to beat him. True to her prediction, Sommers recovers instantly and says there are only 20 seconds left for Jarul to make a decision.
Desperate, Robin grabs Sommers and jumps off a nearby cliff. Sommers asks her if she really wants to kill herself. Robin replies that by throwing him, she is moving the children out of the range of his powers, which’ll let the others save the children. When Sommers attacks Robin with his Thorn Thorn fruit abilities, it is revealed that he was deceived by a clone. This also gives Robin time to rescue the Straw Hats.
Gaban’s Injured Sommers
However, Sommers is then heard still counting down, saying there are only 10 seconds left and that he needs an answer from Jarul, asking Gunko to let everyone hear Ronia’s voice. The child gives a rousing speech about how much she loves school and the library, and that she’s willing to take the fall rather than see the things she loves get burned. With the countdown reaching 1, Jarul orders Ange to fire the school and the library.
It is then shown that Sommers has already returned and captures the real Robin. As he reaches for Robin, Sommers sees that his hand has been cut off and isn’t regenerating, courtesy of Scopper Gaban. Sommers is shocked to see Gaban, who says it’s been a while, before slashing him across the chest. It looks like Gaban is using a special kind of Haki that can stop the God’s Knights from regenerating. The chapter ends on this cliffhanger, with the God’s Knight suffering their first effective damage in the series.
