The one piece chapter 1140 opens with Luffy questioning Gaban's motivations for confronting him. As Gaban explains his reasons, Luffy humorously remarks that he doesn't want to fight someone of Silvers Rayleigh's age. This lighthearted comment irritates Gaban, who responds with a powerful attack to demonstrate that he is still in peak condition. Zoro's reaction—whether through words or expressions—will be pivotal in emphasizing the seriousness of the moment.
Noticing Gaban's impressive strength, Luffy decides to get serious and activates his Gear 5, leaving Gaban astonished by this transformation. This moment can be complemented with a brief flashback revealing what Roger and his crew discovered in Laugh Tale, adding depth to the narrative before we return to the battle. The fight is expected to be well-matched, showcasing Gaban's veteran experience against Luffy's boundless energy and creativity. Both characters are likely to express joy in facing each other, despite their respective disadvantages.
Reactions from the Crew and the Build-Up to Future Events
Meanwhile, in another part of Elbaph, Sanji and other crew members become aware of the intense confrontation, especially with Haki and Gear 5 at play. One of the giants will explain Gaban's formidable power to Sanji, who will then recognize Luffy's presence, heightening the tension.
The chapter is anticipated to conclude with a focus on Figarland Shamrock and Gunko, who are likely nearing their destination or plotting their next moves. A dialogue between them should reveal more about their objectives and set the stage for the introduction of the sacred knight they requested as reinforcement.
