so far, The Holy Knights are largely disappointedExcept for a select few like Gunko and Shamrock. For Sommers and Killingham to really make a mark, they need to do a lot more, and One Piece 1172 could give them the opportunity to do that.

It should also be noted that the upcoming chapter of the manga will definitely not be the most intense. The flashback has just ended, Oda will gradually lead into the main fights, and that means at least a couple of build-up chapters should be expected.. Either way, these chapters should have their own exciting reveal, and fans will have plenty to be excited about.

at the same time, a piece Will probably run from here. The last few weeks have been plagued with all kinds of breaks, and now it's time for the manga to build some consistency.
