The spoilers for One Piece chapter 1133 were anticipated to center around Monkey D. Luffy and the Straw Hat Pirates as they navigate Elbaph. However, unofficially leaked on December 3, 2024, the spoilers instead highlight fan-favorite character Nico Robin and her highly anticipated reunion with Jaguar D. Saul, marking a significant moment early in the arc.
Early Reunion in the Elbaph Arc
The chapter, titled "Praise Me," begins with a cover story that continues Yamato’s journey across Wano, featuring Otama being held hostage by Holdem, the character with the Lion SMILE Fruit. The story kicks off with a flashback from Spandine’s perspective, revealing Robin's past contemplation of suicide, which she thankfully chose to overcome.
As the Straw Hats travel to find Saul on Elbaph using a mist ship powered by clouds, Dr. Vegapunk's technology is introduced, with Lilith explaining its compatibility with the island's unique atmospheric conditions. Upon arriving at Saul's location, it is suggested that he is now a history professor, indicating they are at an educational or library-like setting.
Wholesome Moments and Emotional Climax
The spoilers indicate that Saul, aware of Robin's arrival, playfully pretends to be unconscious to surprise her, but she quickly sees through his act. A flashback reveals how Saul survived Aokiji’s attack, with the flames from Ohara's destruction melting the ice that encased him, though he suffered severe burns in the process.
The chapter reaches an emotional climax when Robin tearfully asks Saul to praise her for surviving, echoing his earlier encouragement for her to live and find friends. This heartfelt reunion moves most of the Straw Hats to tears, while Luffy watches with a big smile.
Upcoming Break
The initial spoilers also confirm a break week for the series following the release of chapter 1133, with the series set to return on December 23, 2024, at 12 AM Japanese Standard Time.
