Following a week-long hiatus, early plot leaks and spoilers for One Piece Chapter 1190 have surfaced across social media platforms like X (formerly Twitter). Picking up after the cliffhanger in the previous chapter—where the World Government’s supreme leader, Imu, moved to finish off Luffy with the Xingtian axe—this installment brings a massive surprise rescue and high-stakes confrontation.
Here is everything fans need to know about what happens in Chapter 1190.
Chapter 1190 Title and Spoilers
"The Person Whose Death Would Make People Happy"
According to trusted leakers such as Pew, the chapter kicks off with Scopper Gaban stepping in to pull Luffy out of Imu’s lethal range. True to his legendary status, Gaban wastes no time poking fun at the young captain, mockingly complaining that it’s quite pathetic for an injured veteran like himself to have to bail out the future Pirate King.
Gaban Questions Luffy’s Dream
Continuing his teasing, Gaban drops a reality check on Luffy. He defines a true Pirate King as a figure so universally feared and targeted that their eventual death would bring jubilation to their enemies, simply because everyone is gunning for that supreme throne. Gaban bluntly tells Luffy that if he expects to claim the title of Pirate King without enduring brutal, life-or-death struggles, he might as well just pack up and go home.
A Descent to the Underworld
After delivering his advice, Gaban hurls Luffy out of the immediate combat zone and turns his full attention to Imu. Refusing to be underestimated, Imu draws a legendary Japanese blade known as Honebami (or "Bone Eater") to engage the former Roger Pirate.
In response, Gaban unleashes a devastating new technique: Shinmon: Hassen – Fukushu. The sheer destructive force of the attack shatters the terrain beneath them, causing both Gaban and Imu to plummet down into the underworld.
Gaban Suffers a Brutal Injury
The chapter concludes on a grim note. Spoilers indicate that Gaban has taken a severe beating, with leaks showing him sprawled out on the ground and missing his left arm from just below the elbow. Luffy is left utterly stunned and horrified by the gruesome sight of the veteran pirate’s condition.
To the dismay of fans, the spoilers also confirm that the One Piece manga will be going on another break next week.
