a piece Elbaf continued his sensational run with chapter 1178, and it goes without saying that this is the most incredible chapter that Oda delivered this week, full of great action, and on top of it, a cliffhanger that has surprised almost all readers. a piece The Elbaf arc has indeed triggered its climax and, with it, marked the beginning of an event that will shake the entire world and change it forever. While Luffy and the Straw Hat Pirates seem dominant for now, things could change soon, and Elbaf could be in chaos.
One Piece Chapter 1178 sets up a major defeat for the Stra Hats in Elbaf
Elbaf would mark a major defeat for the Straw Hat Pirates who had never been in One Piece before.
Zoro and the Giants build a lead against Domi Reversi's army
One Piece Chapter 1178 continued the Straw Hat Pirates' trend of dominating their enemies. When it comes to Zoro and the Giants, the group continues their fight against the demon army, one after the other and making their presence known. More than that, they continued to save the lives of demons affected by Domi Reversi. Helicopters also aided them in this chapter, and most of the threats they faced were dealt with in the end.
This shows that Zoro and the other members of the Straw Hats have done their job incredibly well, and done everything they could to save the country. The Holy Knights are clearly out of the picture for now, and the Domi Reversi Army has been cut to pieces, demonstrating the vast might of the Straw Hat Pirates in the process. Oda paid a good amount of attention to this fight, and it also served to build teamwork among select members of the crew. However, this was clearly not the main focus of the chapter, as many fans wanted to return to the fight between Emu and the duo of Luffy and Loki.

How Imu failed to overthrow Loki and Luffy
The battle between Imu and the duo of Luffy and Loki was expected to go on for several chapters, but One Piece 1178 delivered a major shock as Luffy and Loki were able to hold their own against Imu. At first, Loki was not able to make any attacks on the world's sovereign. In fact, Emu's dominance began to show when both Luffy and Loki were pierced by shadowy appendages, and Emu attempted to forcefully turn them into controllable puppets using Domi Reversi.
If Luffy and Loki were Domi reversed, it would have been terrible for the Elbaf arc, as both of them would have been completely taken out of the plot. However, for some reason, it seems that Emu's power just doesn't work on these two people, and before they can say a word, Luffy launches a powerful Don Gatling attack on the World Sovereign, fatally damaging them. Loki chases after Ragnir, freezing the emu in the process. Many fans had hoped that Emu would simply turn around, recover from this attack and continue the fight, but that was not the case. Instead, the emu was completely cleansed from Gunko's body and reappeared in the sacred land of Marizoa.
Victory in Elbaf brings a sense of impending doom
At this point it is clear that Luffy and Loki won a short-lived battle against Emu's possessed Gunko, but their victory will backfire as now, Elbaf faces the inevitable doom that was evident at the end of One Piece chapter 1178. Due to Gunko's body not being able to withstand the same attacks as Lafki's. Move. Emu clearly mentioned to the five elders that they were leaving the Pangea castle for a while, and this was a clear indication of the fact that they were now going to the land of Elbaf.
In other words, Emu's real body is now going to the battlefield, which means the real battle is about to begin. Luffy and Loki dominated the first confrontation. The second confrontation is going to be very different, especially since Emu is the main villain of the whole story. As such, a fragmented chapter 1179 would be quite chaotic for the Straw Hat Pirates and would see the sense of dominance they had established over the last few chapters come crashing down. This is what makes this arc so chaotic and exciting.

Why does Imu personally go to the land of giants
It's easy to understand why Emu himself went to Elbaf. Thanks to the power of the covenant, Imu can use any wielder as a vessel. In God Valley, Emu used Saturn as a vessel and Domi Rivers was able to pierce rocks. In Elbaf, Emu tried the same, but it didn't work. Obviously, whatever power Imu can put out using the vessel is limited by the power of the vessel. As such, Gunko is not strong enough to fight against the duo of Luffy and Loki.
Five Elders, I leave the Holy Land for a while! – Emu, One Piece Chapter 1178
It is precisely for this reason that Emu is now going to Elbaf, and this fight will surely give fans a real glimpse of what the World Sovereign is capable of, and how they defeated Joy Boy long ago. With Luffy currently out of energy and Elbaf recovering from the shock they suffered, Emu's presence is going to completely change the tone and begin an existential crisis for them, the likes of which they haven't seen in hundreds of years.
No matter which way fans look at it, Elbaf is only going to bring more chaos from here on out, and Emu's arrival actually spells doom for many of the most powerful people in the country, including Sun God Nika Luffy. Thankfully, One Piece won't be on any break next week, and as such, the next chapter is expected to drop next weekend. Following One Piece Chapter 1179, the series will likely take a break, meaning the end of the next chapter will be particularly exciting, setting the stage for the conclusion of this fantastic story arc.
One Piece Chapter 1178 is available to read for free on Manga Plus and Shonen Jump.
