One Piece Chapter 1167 spoilers are finally here — and it looks like Eiichiro Oda is ready to deliver another unforgettable chapter. Right after the emotionally charged God Valley Incident arc, the Elbaf flashback continues, and fans can expect one of the most lore-heavy installments in the entire Final Saga.
Titled “Ida’s Sons,” Chapter 1167 dives deep into the origins of major figures such as Harald and Loki, while also uncovering the heartbreaking truth behind Ida and her family history. But that’s not all — the chapter plants important seeds regarding the World Government, the God Knights, and even Shanks, setting up a massive payoff later in the arc.
Even better, there will be no break after this chapter, signaling that Oda is pushing forward at full speed with the Elbaf storyline, which is quickly becoming one of the most emotional segments in One Piece history.
⚠️ Spoiler warning: This article contains major spoilers for One Piece Chapter 1167.

One of the standout reveals in Chapter 1167 involves Harald. Spoilers confirm that Harald has been acting under a secret mission from the World Government, a directive that began long before the events of the main timeline.
Harald spent years eliminating pirates on behalf of the Government and became feared as a “monster” of the seas. Fans are now theorizing whether Harald could have been the original inspiration for what later evolved into the Shichibukai system — a powerful individual weapon controlled by the Government.
The chapter also expands on the God Knights ranking system, explaining that “God’s Blade” is the lowest of the three ranks. This surprising detail places characters like Gunko, who previously appeared beside Imu, at the lowest tier — sparking speculation that the higher ranks might be reserved only for World Nobles or ancient Celestial Dragon bloodlines.

Shanks Loki One Piece Manga
Perhaps the biggest shock of the chapter — Shanks was the one who freed Fisher Tiger 15 years ago. This single reveal completely rewrites several timeline assumptions and confirms that Shanks has repeatedly acted in defiance of the World Government.
Even more intriguing, when Shanks later meets Harald, he is shown covering his left eye, which has ignited a wildfire of speculation. Many now believe this could be the long-awaited setup for the legendary “eyepatch pirate” Oda teased many years ago.
