Fans of Eiichiro Oda’s legendary series are in for a treat as One Piece 1161 delivers a chapter full of tension, history-changing events, and emotional payoffs.
Titled “The Song of Love That Blew Through the Shower of Arrows,” this chapter spans 19 pages, featuring both a colorful Straw Hat crew color spread and an action-packed black-and-white main story.
The chapter opens with a playful color spread showing the Straw Hat crew enjoying a claw machine game against a giant lion.
Each stuffed toy represents characters connected to the crew, from Shanks, Ace, and Sabo in Luffy’s arms to Bell-mère and Vivi in Nami’s collection.
Zoro and Jinbe nap atop giant toys shaped like Dorry, Brogy, Saul, and Shirahoshi, while Chopper is trapped inside the machine, crying as Robin prays for his release.
Meanwhile, the cover story continues Yamato’s Golden Harvest Pilgrimage.
Together with Kinemon and Momonosuke, Yamato is seen praying at a shrine decorated with paper lamps bearing the names of Wano’s fallen heroes like Kozuki Oden, Toki, and Yasuie—maintaining the arc’s spiritual undertones.
Shanks Shamrock Monkey D Dragon Manga One Piece 1160
The main story thrusts readers back into the chaos of the God Valley incident. Dragon, carrying young Shanks and Shamrock, is attacked by Saint Maffey of the Holy Knights—an enormous woman with razor-sharp teeth who fires a Pacifista-like laser from her mouth.
Severely injured, Dragon struggles to protect the children, seeing them as his way of atonement for participating in the Tenryuubito’s cruel hunting game.
Just when Maffey is about to finish Dragon with her sword, Whitebeard unexpectedly appears along with Shiki, Big Mom, and Kaido.
His slash interrupts the execution, unintentionally saving Dragon’s life. This moment becomes a crucial turning point for the future leader of the Revolutionary Army, suggesting that the entire rebellion owes its existence to Whitebeard’s timely arrival.
The action escalates as traitorous pirates from Hachinosu surround the remaining Rocks Pirates, hoping to make a name for themselves.
Whitebeard, Shiki, Big Mom, and Kaido join forces in a stunning double-page spread, obliterating the attackers in true Yonko fashion.
Marine hero Monkey D. Garp also makes his grand entrance, his overwhelming power shaking the battlefield. Big Mom attempts a devastating combined attack with Zeus and Prometheus called Heavenly Fire Breeze, but Garp shrugs it off with a mocking remark, proving why he earned the title “Hero of the Marines.”
Kaido yearns to fight Garp, but Whitebeard and Big Mom wisely pull him away to avoid unnecessary losses.
