One Piece Chapter 1141 is expected to dive deeper into the ongoing narrative surrounding the Holy Knights. The chapter may open with the Knights questioning Figarland Shamrock about his cryptic remark of turning their mission into a “game.” This could lead Shamrock to share tales of God Valley, passed down from his father, particularly focusing on the infamous human hunting game that once took place there. While he might clarify that their objective isn’t to harm the Giant children, Shamrock could propose adapting the game’s structure and rules to suit their current mission.

Character Development of the Holy Knights
This setup is likely to flesh out the personalities of the four Holy Knights present. Gunko, in particular, seems poised to shine, driven by her apparent loyalty to Shamrock. Her eagerness to impress him could become a key focus, offering insight into her motivations and deepening her character beyond her initial introduction.
Shamrock’s Departure and Mariejois Cliffhanger
Once the rules of this “game” are set, Shamrock might make a dramatic exit via the Abyss Pentagram. The narrative could follow him through this mysterious journey back to Mariejois. Upon arrival, his reaction—likely one of shock—to an unexpected discovery could serve as a tantalizing cliffhanger, leaving readers eager for more.
Nico Robin and the Elbaph Library
The focus might then shift to Nico Robin, Jaguar D. Saul, Tony Tony Chopper, and their companions, who are likely immersed in Elbaph’s library. As they pore over texts about Elbaph’s history and its adversaries, the discussion could touch on why this nation stands apart from the World Government. Saul might hint at King Harald’s complex ties to the government, prompting Robin to dig deeper. However, their scholarly pursuit could be interrupted by a chilling scream—a child’s cry of terror echoing from outside.
Confrontation with the Holy Knights
Rushing to investigate, the group may encounter Colon, the lone warrior child among them. In a bold but reckless move, Colon might attempt an attack, only to be swiftly overpowered and gravely injured. As Robin or Saul recognizes the assailants as Holy Knights, the stakes will escalate dramatically.
Luffy’s Group and a Sense of Foreboding
Meanwhile, Luffy, Zoro, Nami, and Road could be en route to the Underworld. A sudden flash of light—possibly from Shamrock’s return to Mariejois—might catch their attention. Instinctively, Luffy and Zoro may sense something amiss, pressing Road to hasten their journey to the Walrus School. This could set the stage for a tense conclusion to the chapter.
Scopper Gaban: The Man Marked by Flames
Who is Scopper Gaban?
Scopper Gaban, a long-anticipated figure among fans, was a titan of the old generation, equal in stature to Roger and Rayleigh. As the “left wing” of the Pirate King’s crew, Scopper holds intimate knowledge of the One Piece treasure and the Void Century’s secrets, making him a pivotal figure in the race to Laugh Tale.
The Road Poneglyphs and the Race to Laugh Tale
The path to Laugh Tale requires triangulating its location using the four Road Poneglyphs. By the end of the Wano arc, the Straw Hats, Kidd Pirates, and Heart Pirates each secured rubbings of three Poneglyphs. However, Blackbeard’s crew ambushed the Heart Pirates, seizing their rubbings, while Shanks’ crew crushed the Kidd Pirates, claiming theirs. This leaves the fourth Poneglyph’s whereabouts a mystery, tied to the enigmatic “man marked by flames.”
Is Scopper the Key?
A compelling theory posits Scopper Gaban as this figure. His history with Roger’s crew and his firsthand knowledge of the One Piece make him an ideal guardian of the final Poneglyph. His fire-like scar above his right eye further fuels speculation. Stationed in Elbaf—a stronghold beyond the World Government’s reach—Scopper could be waiting for the rightful claimant. Legends of a pitch-black ship and treacherous whirlpools only add to his mystique.
Shanks’ Visit and Its Implications
Chapter 1140 revealed Shanks meeting Gaban in Elbaf just before the Straw Hats’ arrival, aligning with his earlier clash with the Kidd Pirates. During this encounter, Shanks vouched for Luffy, urging Gaban to trust him. If Gaban is indeed the man marked by flames, and if Shanks knows this, their shared history suggests Gaban might have entrusted him with the final Poneglyph rubbing. This would position Shanks as the sole possessor of all four, placing him perilously close to the One Piece.
What Could This Mean for the Future?
Shanks’ Role in the Endgame
Until Eiichiro Oda unveils the truth, fans can only speculate about Scopper’s identity and Shanks’ actions. Many have long suspected Shanks harbors a hidden depth, potentially casting him as a complex foil to Luffy. If Shanks reaches Laugh Tale first, it could frame him as a temporary antagonist—standing between Luffy and his destiny as Pirate King—without devolving into outright villainy.
Luffy’s Destiny and the One Piece
Critics of this theory argue that Luffy’s path to the throne is preordained, which Shanks claiming the treasure might undermine. However, the One Piece—possibly crafted by Joyboy—might only fully awaken for the current incarnation of Nika, ensuring Luffy’s triumph. Shanks’ journey could thus serve as a catalyst, sharpening Luffy’s resolve for the series’ climactic showdown.
