As the final saga of One Piece unfolds, the pressure on Eiichiro Oda to deliver a more extreme level of violence has been steadily growing. One Piece has long been a series known for its creative combat, epic storylines, and emotional character development, but one aspect that Oda has intentionally kept at arm’s length is excessive gore and death.
Now, with episode 1117 setting up the stage for the Levely’s chaotic events, fans are anticipating a level of violence that would once have been considered unimaginable in the series. Alongside that, Fans are eager to see how far Admiral Fujitora is willing to go in his pursuit of justice, and whether this arc will finally end the reign of terror of the Celestial Dragons.
The Premise of One Piece Episode 1117
Episode 1117, titled “Sabo Returns – The Shocking Truth to Be Told!“, brings the Revolutionary Army back into the spotlight, recounting their impressive accomplishments. Sabo, now the Chief of Staff, details their destruction of the World Nobles’ symbol and their declaration of open war against the Celestial Dragons. He also describes the Revolutionary Army’s successful rescue mission of Bartholomew Kuma and the liberation of countless slaves, marking major victories in their rebellion against the World Government.
Additionally, the Revolutionary Army destroys Mary Geoise’s food reserves, delivering a significant blow to the Celestial Dragon’s most powerful stronghold. The flashback continues with the World Nobles panicking and trying to escape, However, at the perfect moment, Karasu appears rescuing a slave and using his Devil Fruit powers to ward off Noble’s bodyguards.
As Episode 1117 continues, the Revolutionary Army faces two of the Marine Admirals in combat. The possessor of Susu Susu no Mi, Karasu, confronts Admiral Fujitora. On the other hand, Morley takes on Admiral Ryokugyu, though the latter is notably restrained in his actions due to the strict orders from the Celestial Dragons. In a twist of events, Fujitora is seen preparing to summon a meteor but is stopped by Ryokugyu’s warning.
Fans’ Reaction to this Long-Awaited Clash of One Piece
With the Revolutionary Army’s invasion and the ongoing battle between the Admirals, the tension in One Piece has reached a critical point. Fans are eagerly waiting for the moment when the Celestial Dragons will finally be held accountable for their deeds. For many, this means even crossing the line into extreme violence; something Eiichiro Oda has largely avoided throughout the series.
Fans desire Celestial Dragons’ ultimate demise. The story is reaching its final saga and the demand to kill at least one Celestial Dragon is increasing within the fanbase. In addition to this, they are expressing their desire for Fujitora to finally revolt back at the Celestial Dragons, as he is seen summoning a meteor out of nowhere despite knowing that it will lead to further damage to the World Government.
Unlike most Admirals, Fujitora is driven by a strong moral compass and has shown a willingness to challenge the corruption within the World Government. As the final saga unfolds, many hope that Fujitora will break free from the constraints of the World Government and exact the retribution that the Celestial Dragons deserve.
With episode 1117 setting the stage for a major confrontation between the Revolutionary Army and the World Government, the next episode, titled, “The Holy Land in Turmoil – Sai and Leo’s Full-Power Blow!” will further emphasize the ongoing tension of this arc. As the final reckoning is almost near, both the fate of the Celestial Dragons and the world of One Piece hangs in the balance.
