The spoilers for One Piece chapter 1128 kick off with the title “RPG,” which seems to nod towards the role-playing game genre. The cover story highlights a creative twist from Eiichiro Oda, merging two reader suggestions to feature the Straw Hat crew donned in wizard garb, soaring through the skies on brooms alongside a massive dragon.
In the story, the chapter starts at the Bigstein Castle, where Sanji leaps down with Nami in his arms. Close behind are Luffy, Zoro, and Usopp, only to discover that the entire kingdom is constructed from LEGO-like blocks. Dominating the center of the scene is the imposing Yggdrasil tree. As events unfold, Zoro enlightens Luffy on locating him, all while Luffy pokes fun at Usopp for being unable to defeat the feline adversary.
The narrative advances with Usopp declaring that they are not in Elbaf, a fact made clear when they encounter a normal-sized human dressed in a Giant’s attire riding a giant grasshopper, proving they aren’t in Elbaf. This individual reveals the location as the “Land of Gods,” ruled by entities like the Ear God, the Spike God (resembling a hedgehog), and “Iskat,” the feline ruler of Bigstein Castle.
A discussion ensued about the Ear God’s fiery demise, prompting Luffy to offer an apology before Usopp interjects. While the rest of the Straw Hats attempt to play it cool, the man warns them against venturing beyond the castle, indicating that the Sun God’s Temple lies beyond, guarded by fierce creatures. Intrigued by this, Luffy, eager for adventure, charges towards the temple with Zoro intrigued enough to join him.
The spoilers detail Luffy’s collision with an unseen obstacle, revealed as a giant mirror, which shatters, unraveling the illusion. With cracks forming in the environment, it becomes clear that the surroundings were a deceptive facade created by the mirror, with Luffy crashing through onto a lower level, revealing the kingdom as a fish-tank-like diorama with one-way mirrors.
Enormous furniture pieces scatter the area, surrounded by LEGO fragments where Luffy lands. A massive door upfront hints at the accommodation for a Giant. Just then, they are alerted to their captivity as pets in an elaborate giant cage. A call for assistance is heard and it is Tony Tony Chopper, chained on a wooden table before Zoro frees him.
With tears of gratitude, Chopper thanks his comrades as Usopp, Zoro, and Luffy examine their locale. Meanwhile, Sanji connects the LEGO block kingdom to the resin smell experienced when cooking rabbit meat. The group deduces they are indeed within the Sun God’s Temple, where the deity observes through the diorama’s transparent walls.
The unveiling of two colossal creatures follows: “Hilmungandr,” based on Jörmungandr, the Norse World Serpent, and “Muginn,” a giant raven named after Odin’s ravens, Muninn and Huginn, merging their mythical identities. Muginn is distinguishable by a skull adorning its head. A battle ensues between the Straw Hats and these formidable foes.
Next, from a corridor outside, footsteps signal the approach of the Sun God, who’s noticeably a Giant, towering beyond any encountered prior, save for Oars. Despite its true identity being concealed beneath a long black garment and a skull adorned with antlers hiding its visage, its grandeur is unmistakable.
Holding a staff and a shield, both emblazoned with the “Sun symbol,” the Sun God bursts in amid smoke and uproar, only to witness a Gear 5 Luffy enjoying himself amidst flames besieging the chamber. Luffy swiftly dispatches Hilmungandr using a Gum-Gum Dawn Pistol, while Zoro overcomes Muginn. The crew then escapes the diorama, encountering Iskat once again.
Here, they handle Iskat with swiftness and hop aboard it as Nami reveals a map discovered earlier. It outlines the land of blocks, urging the team to brace themselves for a direct dash through the diorama’s opposite boundary wall. This endeavor’s destination, dubbed as “outside,” remains ambiguous, whether to the greater temple area or genuinely beyond its confines.
As their plan unfolds, they are seen riding through the vibrant diorama town with the raging Sun God in pursuit. Constituting an audience, townsfolk react in disbelief at the sight of the Sun God, shocked by his rage as he yells that Luffy and crew won’t escape. The chapter ends verifying no continuation break post the official release on Monday, October 7, 2024, at 12 AM Japanese Standard Time.
