Chapter Summary: “Liv Doll” (生人形 (リブドール) in Japanese)
Thanks to Redon, we have a detailed overview of this 17-page chapter, Chapter 1,129.
In “Ogre Child Yamato’s Golden Harvest Surrogate Pilgrimage, Vol. 16,” we find Yamato arriving at Amigasa Village, where Otama is seen training with Shinobu, who has once again gained weight.
The chapter picks up from where the previous one left off, with the townspeople panicking as they notice the fire in the room through the cracks in the mirror.
The “Sun God” enters the diorama and discovers the skeleton of the “Ear God” in the forest, which is actually a fierce carnivorous rabbit known as “Glutbunny” (グルトバニー in Japanese). The “Sun God” is enraged.
Sun God: “How dare you ruin my roo… temple and harm my pe… servants!!”
Luffy advises Iskat, the giant cat, to avoid destroying any buildings, as he wants to preserve the Sun God’s LEGO creations. Nami memorizes the entire map before discarding it, explaining that it represents the layout of the giant room.
Nami: “If you look closely, the clouds are just cotton hanging from the ceiling.”
Luffy: “We just need to keep going straight ahead… We’ve already covered half of this nation.”
The full map of the “Sun God Room” reveals that the diorama occupies two-thirds of the space, with the “Sun God’s Temple” housing his golden LEGO creations. A “Giant Bonfire Statue” is centrally located in the diorama, surrounded by soft spring water, while a Great Tree is positioned near the exit of the temple room.
The “Sun God” attempts to ensnare them with an iron net from his staff, but Zoro and Sanji easily break free. They then approach the diorama filled with LEGO representations of the nation. Luffy nearly destroys the mirror with his “Green Star: Skull Bomb Grass,” but Usopp intervenes.
Usopp ponders the concept of “Liv Doll,” questioning how people are transformed into dolls and become part of this narrative. The “Sun God” speaks in a manner reminiscent of Wanokuni samurai, filled with otaku references.
Sun God: “Powerless dolls fighting against destiny, this is peak fiction!! How pathetic! Yet courageous!! I shall be moved to tears!! How right it was to welcome you into this nation!! Luffy-taso!! Zoro-taso!! Nami-taso♡ Uso-taso!! San-taso!! Cho-taso!!”
Nami: “Wait, how does he know us!?”
Chopper: “What is a taso?”
Translator’s note: “Taso” (タそ) is an old Japanese honorific suffix used affectionately for Manga/Anime characters.
Luffy: “All right, I’m going to create an opening now…!! With a bit of ‘Gear 4th’!”
Luffy stretches his left arm and activates “Gear 4th,” but this time he only transforms his arm rather than his entire body. Nami expresses her frustration towards the “Sun God” while speaking with Usopp.
Nami: “Hey Usopp!! A natural disaster isn’t anyone’s fault, right?”
Usopp: “Huh? Yeah, with earthquakes, floods, or lightning strikes… No one blames those things…”
Suddenly, Nami spins around, seething with anger.
Nami: “To be honest, he infuriates me!!!”
Usopp: “Yeah, but… the giant.”
Luffy overhears their conversation, tears streaming down his face in a hilarious display of rage.
Sanji: “I totally agree!!! Nami-san…!! I completely understand your anger!! I’ve been fuming this whole time too!!! This guy changed Nami-san’s clothes…!!! I’ll kick him to pieces!!!”
Nami: “No Sanji, don’t go that far! But… I’m sure judgment will come from above.”
Sun God: “…!!”
A flashback reveals that the “Sun God” is actually “Road,” the navigator of the New Giant Warrior Pirates, led by Hajrudin. We see Muginn transporting the Thousand Sunny to Road.
Road: “Muginn!! What did you bring me this time? What!! That’s the Straw Hat crew!! Shouldn’t they be with the Giant Warriors Pirates right now? They’re not awake? They seem to be sleeping soundly… Don’t tell me their voyage to Egghead went through the Sleeping Fog area…?”
Road recalls Hajrudin’s decision to join the Straw Hat Grand Fleet.
Road: “Defufufufu!! I’ve never been happy about that idiot Hajrudin making me a subordinate of this guy too!! I, a proud member of the New Giant Warriors Pirates, as this guy’s subordinate!? Warriors of Elbaf!! The strongest in the world!! Submitting to a puny human!? Has he no pride!?”
Holding Luffy and Nami in his palm, Road admires Nami, excited by her appearance.
Road: “Look at this small weak body… But this one… can… can be my best girl♡ Nami-taso!!”
Just then, Nami and the others awaken, but Road quickly puts them back to sleep with more sleeping gas.
Road: “I will have my greatest honor yet, once next time you never wake up… Defufufu!!”
Returning to the present, Road continues speaking to the Straw Hat crew.
Road: “Defufufufu! You shall benefit from remaining missing… forever with me… Never reaching under your reigning above however… Humm?”
Sanji: “Are you ready? Zeus!!”
Zeus: “Ready as can be, Nami!!”
Road: “What the?? I don’t remember making these…”
While Road is distracted, Nami and Zeus conjure a massive storm cloud on the ceiling of the diorama and unleash a powerful lightning strike.
Nami: “Here we go then!! ‘Raitel!’ (Thunder)!!”
Road: “Gyaaaaaaaaaa~~~~~~~~~~~!!”
The townspeople exclaim, “Whatt—!!?? Sun God~~~~~~~~~~!!”
The chapter concludes with an exhilarating double-page spread, showing Luffy preparing to break through the wall while the crew eagerly anticipates what lies beyond.
Luffy: “It’s a shame we have to leave so soon!! Land of Blocks! Gomu Gomu no—!!!”
Zoro: “Finally, we can leave…”
Sanji: “Serve you right, you perverted Giant…”
Usopp (praying): “Please let it be Elbaf outside!!”
Luffy: “Kong Gun!!!”
Luffy’s massive punch shatters the wall, and the Straw Hat crew, along with Iskat, leaps outside. The final panel captures Luffy’s delighted expression as he sees what awaits them outside.
Straw Hat crew: “All right!! We are outside~~~~~~~~~~!!”
Luffy: “Oh!!”
