In One Piece Chapter 1149, titled “One Second,” the chapter opens on a vibrant and playful note with a color spread: the Straw Hat crew is depicted in a maid café setting. The female members, including Nami, Robin, Lilith, and Jewelry Bonney, don maid outfits, blending humor and fan service before diving back into the intensity of the main story.
The action resumes with the heated battle between Scopper Gaban and Saint Shepherd Ju Peter Sommers. Gaban, wielding twin axes enhanced with advanced Haki, delivers a decisive blow. He dismembers Sommers, who, despite his immortality, is unable to regenerate. This suggests that Gaban’s Haki has the ability to nullify or override regenerative Devil Fruit abilities, adding a chilling layer of threat to his skillset.
Elsewhere, Gunko confronts Colon, threatening to kill him if Gaban doesn’t surrender. Moved by emotion and paternal instinct, Gaban complies—only for Gunko to stab Colon anyway and toss him from the tree. Her ruthless betrayal underscores her lack of honor and reveals how far she’s fallen—or perhaps how deeply controlled she is.
A surprising shift in the chapter comes through Brook, who experiences a flashback from before his pirate days, revealing that he once knew Gunko. This revelation confirms that Gunko is at least 60 years old, raising questions about her origins and longevity. As the past resurfaces, Gunko regains clarity, breaks the mental control, and attempts to rescue Brook, indicating a sliver of her original self still exists.
However, just as the tides seem to shift, Imu intervenes. Furious at the Holy Knights’ failure and the burning state of Mariejois, Imu takes control of Gunko’s body directly. The chapter ends on a dark and ominous note as Imu coldly declares:
“Mu will show how a God rules over the world.”
This chilling line sets the stage for a terrifying display of power in the coming chapters, as Imu’s direct involvement signals a turning point in the final saga of One Piece.
