After 25 long years, Eiichiro Oda has revealed the strongest Haki in the history of One Piece, and it’s neither Shanks nor Garp. Manga chapter 1122 starts with Vegapunk continuing his broadcast one last time and Straw Hats’ escape from Five Great Elders. With the long Egghead Island Arc coming to an end, Oda wanted his audience to have a dumbfounding experience and be reminded of the forgotten Void Century.
Indeed, Oda’s narrative managed to captivate many One Piece fans, with Joyboy’s foreshadowing being the major highlight. Furthermore, the mangaka decided to showcase why Joyboy could be the most feared individual of his time because of his brute strength and Haki, surpassing the likes of Shanks, Roger, Garp, and Whitebeard.
One Piece chapter 1122 reveals the strongest Haki user
Eiichiro Oda has enchanted a large audience with his splendid narrative and breathtaking world-building for decades. With the manga coming close to its conclusion, the mangaka finally highlights the secrets of the forgotten Void Century.
The chapter 1122 starts with Dr. Vegapunk’s speech reminding everyone of Roger’s treasure, One Piece, and its true importance. Unfortunately, the broadcast gets interrupted and the readers are taken back to the battlefield followed by St. Ethanbaron V. Nusjuro’s another attempt to sink Sunny. On the other side, Oda shows Luffy and Emet taking on the rest of the Elders.
After a terrific battle, the Elders start to get the upper hand on Emet and take the gigantic robot down. It only leads to a surprising turn of events as Emet releases the Joyboy’s sealed Haki to help Luffy and his crew finally escape Egghead Island safely. Furthermore, with Emet reminiscing about its old days, Oda showcases Joyboy’s first look in the One Piece universe, which left the fandom in shock.
Despite Joyboy’s first appearance in the series, it surely wasn’t the highlight of the manga’s chapter 1122. Joyboy’s Conqueror’s Haki was the sole reason Luffy and his crew managed to escape from all Five Elders. In Chapter 1122, his Conqueror’s Haki single-handedly made Imu, the secret ruler of the entire One Piece world, bend a knee and let fear take over despite being miles away from the battlefield.
Furthermore, Joyboy’s Haki even nullified Imu’s devil fruit power and teleported Four Elders back to Mary Geoise. Oda has finally put an end to all strongest Haki user debate with the recent One Piece chapter with Joyboy taking the top spot. Interestingly, Eiichiro Oda has put a lot of thought into Joyboy’s design and fans spotted a wooden leg on the mystery character.
Oda hinted that when One Piece is near its conclusion, a character with an eye patch will be introduced. Owing to Oda’s brilliant foreshadowing skills, fans believe that Joyboy will be the perfect character fitting all the descriptions, especially after the release of chapter 1122.
Garp Arrives to Koby’s Rescue as Galaxy Impact Steals the Spotlight
Besides Chapter 1122, One Piece anime has also become the talk of the community as Garp finally arrives to rescue his disciple Koby from Blackbeard Pirates. Furthermore, his signature attack, Galaxy Impact, astounded several fans and left them surprised by witnessing the Marine Hero’s true strength. Garp is also known as the ‘Hero of Marine’ because of his history with Gol D. Roger, King of the Pirates.
Although Garp was considered one of the strongest since the beginning of the anime, fans weren’t expecting such a display of immense strength, especially when his prime days were said to be long gone. The manga readers waited for several months to witness Galaxy Impact on screen and surely weren’t disappointed. Moreover, Monkey D. Garp has finally shut down all the retirement allegations fans held against him after Garp’s grand entry at the Pirate Island.
You can read One Piece on Viz Media and watch the anime on Crunchyroll.
