What to Expect in One Piece Episode 1146

Based on how Episode 1145 ended, fans can expect Emet to directly confront one or more of the Gorosei, creating a potential opening for Luffy and the Straw Hats to regroup or make a strategic escape. Meanwhile, Mars’s arrival at Vegapunk’s broadcast site looms large, as the World Government moves closer to silencing the scientist’s transmission once and for all.

However, given Eiichiro Oda’s storytelling style, it’s unlikely the broadcast will end without one final revelation. Many fans speculate that Vegapunk’s message still holds a world-shaking truth that could alter the balance of power forever.

Another intriguing detail is Warcury’s line about Luffy’s “original form,” which wasn’t in the manga. This anime-only addition has fueled theories that Gear 5 may not yet represent Luffy’s complete awakening. Some believe Oda is foreshadowing a future “imagination-based” form of Nika, where Luffy fully realizes the creative limits of his powers.

If this theory proves correct, One Piece Episode 1146 could mark the beginning of that transformation — a clash between divine imagination and cosmic authority as the Gorosei grow increasingly desperate to contain the Joy Boy within.
