The upcoming chapter is likely to shift its spotlight toward Vice Admiral Garp’s clash with the pirates. Fans have long anticipated seeing Garp’s true power during the God Valley Incident, and this could be the moment Oda finally delivers. His reputation as one of the Marines’ greatest heroes suggests the battle will be a turning point in the flashback arc.
Another key thread involves Dragon’s escape with one of the children. If confirmed, this could spark major fallout, particularly from Figarland Garling, once he learns of Maffey’s failure. The miscommunication and its consequences could escalate tensions even further.
With the God Valley Incident arc progressing steadily, readers can expect a mix of high-stakes combat and deeper insights into the origins of several legendary characters. While flashback arcs sometimes divide opinion among fans, Oda’s execution has been universally praised so far, promising that Chapter 1162 will deliver both action and emotional weight.
One Piece chapter 1162 will release on October 5, 2025, continuing the dramatic events of the God Valley Incident. With Garp’s strength, Dragon’s decisions, and the looming threat of the Rocks Pirates, the upcoming chapter could provide some of the most memorable moments of the flashback. Fans should prepare for another explosive entry in Oda’s masterpiece.
