One Piece Chapter #1138 Release Date and Time

One PieceChapter #1138 is set to be one of the most significant releases of the year, as the identity of Shanks' presumed evil twin has been unveiled. Ever since this mysterious figure made a suspicious appearance during the Levely arc before the Five Elders, Shanks' role in the series has been clouded with doubt, leading many to believe he might truly be an antagonist. However, with Figarland Garling's past uncovered, fans started to suspect someone else might be behind it all.

One Piece Chapter #1137 confirms this theory, revealing that this presumed evil twin is Shamrock, the son of Figarland and a member of the formidable God's Knights. The upcoming chapter is sure to delve deeper into Shamrock's characterization, and with Luffy and the others closing in on the hotspot, there’s plenty to anticipate in the next installment. Fortunately, One Piece Chapter #1138 will arrive without any breaks.

What Happened in One Piece Chapter #1137?

Meet Shamrock, Captain of the God’s Knights

One Piece Chapter #1137, titled "Introducing Shamrock," begins with Luffy and his crew diving into the castle in search of the key. Rodo shares significant insight, revealing that no one has entered the castle since King Harold's death. This raises concerns, as the castle gate appears to have been broken from the inside. As the group explores the deteriorating structure, Rodo explains that the damage occurred during the catastrophic battle when Loki killed the king, a clash that also claimed the lives of hundreds of other giants.

When Luffy discovers the skull of a giant with massive horns, Rodo shares additional insights about the "Ancient Giants," a race known for their large horns, similar to those of the late king. Upon noticing a portrait of King Harold without horns, Rodo explains that the king had ripped them out, believing the horns to be relics of the past. Continuing to elaborate on King Harold's death and its aftermath, Rodo reveals that Hajrudin was the most affected by the tragedy and discloses that he is Loki's older brother, born to a different mother.

Rodo reveals that Harold fathered Hajrudin with a giant from another land. Because Elbaph frowned upon tainting their bloodline, Hajrudin was never recognized as a prince and faced backlash growing up. When Nami asks why he chose to join Hajrudin's group, Rodo explains that he admires Hajrudin's earnestness and believes in his dream to unite the giants. Before the chapter shifts perspective, Luffy informs the group that he has found some giants knocked out.

The narration shifts to Loki being beaten by Gunko, who attempts to force Loki to become a World Noble, though Loki continues to resist. With Loki being resilient, Shanks' evil twin, revealed to be Shamrock Figarland, the son of Saint Garling Figarland, the new commander of God's Knights, intervenes and stops Gunko. As the chapter concludes, Shamrock orders Gunko to contact Marijoa, declaring his intent to eliminate Loki and showcasing his deep hatred for the giants.

One Piece Chapter #1138 is set to showcase the highly anticipated character, Shamrock, in action. Having risen to the rank of commander of the God's Knights, Shamrock is clearly a powerful figure, but his actions will determine how he measures up against other formidable characters. However, before Shamrock takes the spotlight, it’s likely that the upcoming chapter will follow the same pattern as the previous one, focusing first on Luffy’s group and their journey. With Luffy and his group discovering the giants attacked by Gunko and Shamrock, they will likely uncover their purpose.

Given Luffy’s excitement to reunite with Shanks, he might head straight to the underworld, where Gunko and Shamrock are tormenting Loki after learning that Loki might be in trouble. This setup paves the way for an epic encounter between Luffy and Shamrock. Shamrock’s striking resemblance to Shanks will undoubtedly shock Luffy, setting the stage for a unique confrontation. This clash in One Piece Chapter #1138 could mark the beginning of Elbaph’s first major action narrative, propelling the highly anticipated arc into a thrilling, action-driven storyline in the upcoming chapters.
