One Piece chapter 1129 will likely open with Luffy and his crew having reached the other end of the cage they dove back into at the end of the last issue. The group should then smash the mirror and break out through the holes in the wire fencing.

This will likely reveal that they haven’t been in Elbaf the entire time, potentially captive on a ship. This seems likely since the Sun God appears to be a Holy Knight.

The Introduction of the Holy Knights

This could be made evident by a focus on the Sun God, who should report to the new leader of the Holy Knights regarding this situation. This should prompt their formal introduction into the series, which is necessary prior to the upcoming final war arc. Their introduction should also confirm them as the silhouetted character from chapter 1121’s final double spread, as well as the Man Marked by Flames.

The reason why such a reveal is so likely is that this naturally sets up One Piece for its final stages, and the Elbaf Arc by introducing clear villains. Likewise, Luffy and the others will almost certainly recognize this as their opportunity to find and defeat the Man Marked by Flames. In turn, this will give them the fourth Road Poneglyph they need to reach Laugh Tale.

Immediate Focus on Exploration

However, chapter 1129 is still a ways away from such events. Instead, the immediate focus will likely shift from this two-pronged introduction to the Straw Hats running around the Sun God Holy Knight’s ship and exploring. They’ll potentially gather additional intel during this sequence, which gives them the same information readers just received via the introduction of the Holy Knights’ leader.

Possible Reunion with Nefertari D. Vivi

One possibility is that the Straw Hats eventually run into Nefertari D. Vivi here. This could happen for several reasons, the first of which is that it would make narrative sense for the Holy Knights to pursue Vivi. Imu themselves is concerned with Vivi, suggesting that they’d assign their personal forces to the task of recovering her directly.

It’s also likely that CP0 would not be given the opportunity to recover Vivi following their failure at Egghead Island. Such a development would also explain why mangaka Eiichiro Oda has specifically separated those members of the crew who know Vivi personally. With this in mind, the next issue could end on this exciting reunion, setting up a full-on jailbreak of the crew and Vivi from the Sun God’s ship. In turn, this should lead to the full Holy Knights pursuing the crew back to Elbaf.

A Fight Against The Sun God Begins

The Sun God Rules The Lego City

Quite easily, one of the plot points that fans can be sure will be tackled in next week’s One Piece chapter 1129 is a confrontation with the Sun God. In the previous chapter, fans found out that there was a mysterious figure called the Sun God in the city made of Lego. There, normal-sized humans existed, almost unaware of the fact that they were inside a whole made-up city. When Luffy and the others broke out of the city, it was clear to the people that the city that was created was actually not real. The person they all looked up to as the Sun God was, thus, also not the real Sun God. Clearly, there can only be one Sun God, and in Norse mythology, that Sun God is Nika. Right now, the powers of Nika belong to Luffy, which means that whoever this person is, is not the real Sun God.

The Sun God’s True Intentions

“I won’t let you escape!” – The Sun God

Clearly, this person wants to be the Sun God and admires him. That is precisely why they have taken up an identity similar to the actual Sun God from the tales that exist in the land of Elbaf. They also love to play God and create their own countries, as is evident from the fact that they dress people in various outfits and put them in a man-made world. However, now, Luffy and the Straw Hat Pirates have broken through and are currently being chased by the Sun God. The Sun God is most likely going to continue chasing them in One Piece chapter 1129, which means a confrontation will likely happen. As things stand, the giant cat that was taken down previously by the Monster Trio is helping the crew, and given the way Oda has been writing this creature, it will surely come to their aid.

The Upcoming Confrontation

However, there is only so much an injured cat can do, and if a figure that is known as the Sun God is to be portrayed as a daunting one, then a confrontation needs to happen. One Piece chapter 1129 might see the fake Sun God come up against the Straw Hats and showcase their abilities. This Sun God will likely clash with the real Sun God, which fans know to be Luffy, who will likely tap into his Gear 5 powers. Upon seeing this figure of the Sun God from mythology, which is easily recognizable, given the fact that Dorry and Brogy clearly spotted it, this figure is likely going to be amazed and a confrontation is likely going to stop. At this point, the real identity of this person parading themselves as the Sun God is finally going to be revealed.
