BASE LUFFY Wipes the Floor With Imu! One Piece Chapter 1186 Full Spoilers!
We reach the end of Brook’s 4-chapter flashback as base Luffy punches Imu in the face, the same way he punched his first Celestial Dragon, St. Charloss.
In the previous One Piece chapter, Brook witnesses the downfall of his Kingdom at the hands of St. Marcus Mars and a mysterious individual, all the while he sees a possessed Shuri kill her father.
One Piece Chapter 1186 is titled, “One More Time”
This chapter has 17 pages.
Cover Page Request: “Loki secretly drawing a portrait of Ida, and Ida secretly being happy about it.”
On the cover, we see child Loki drawing Ida, showing that Loki really had a positive bond with Ida even as he had his rebellious outbursts.
On the bottom of Loki’s drawing of Ida’s face, he writes “Mom”, again affirming Loki’s words of mourning in Chapter 1167: “Ida’s Sons”, that Loki did view his stepmom as his mother.
How sweet.
Shuri’s Special Eyes?
The chapter begins with soldiers defending Esperia Kingdom.
Like Elbaph in the present, the Battle Convoy is committed to fighting for their independence.
Back to the Esperia throne room, Brook sees the sitting, smoking Knight of God, Shuri, the shadow figure (most likely Mars) and King Reuven collapsed on the floor.
Brook panics, calling for help
Marcus Mars states that Brook’s appearance is inconvenient.
We see the silhouette of Imu and the dark Elder shadow figure vanish and Shuri tells Brook “that person” is dead, refusing to call Reuven her father.
While Shuri is taking on a devil appearance thanks to the transformation effect of Imu’s Devil’s Fruit, it seems like Shuri
Brook then faces the smoking, sitting man and points his sword at him, asking what he did to Shuri as Brook refuses to believe that Shuri would be capable of killing her father.
Shuri reveals that she is a Celestial Dragon and Reuven is not her biological father.
Brook refuses to believe and Shuri asks for proof, with Brook saying there is no need for proof.
Shuri says there is a need as she felt like she wasted 16 years of her life when she should have been a Celestial Dragon and reveals the truth of why this war happen: the World Goverment never demanded a thousand slaves but only Shuri herself.
This sounds exactly like Shanks’ script to his Figarland Family when he returned to Mary Geoise to infiltrate the Holy Knight order.
Reuven is Harald’s opposite.
While Harald’s pacifism and surrender to the World Government as a Holy Knight were responsible for bringing in Imu’s oppression upon Elbaph, Reuven’s refusal to surrender his only daughter destroyed his whole kingdom.
Angered that Esperia’s citizens died for nothing, Shuri reasons that her father had to die.
Again, we see how Shuri is tied to Loki and while both were forced to kill their respective fathers, there was an element of choice: Loki did it out of duty and love for Harald while Shuri partly felt betrayed by Reuven in spite of his genuine love for her, even while knowing of her true heritage.
That is because Shuri is a Manmeyer and the daughter of the Holy Knight present, Manmeyer Grow, who has heterochromic eyes, just like Shuri.
Manmayer Grow (Gurou in Japanese) says he remembers Brook because there was a brat with afro hair among Candelle’s servants.
This new Holy Knight is the oldest generation Holy Knight we know of and it appears to confirm that the newsboy cape with goggles is a common feature in this family, as Gunko will wear the exact same cap as her real father.
But Brook does not know Grow because he was not allowed to come close to him when Grow was in the Esperia Kingdom.
The eyes have it and Brook understands.
Grow explains that he did not want to come all this way to a remote lower world country to collect a single brat, only that he was under orders because his daughter has the “Bipolar Eyes” and it is incredibly rare.
While Grow has heterochromia, it seems Gunko has something special behind her eyes that Imu desires.
Grow clearly shows no love for his own child, calling her “koitsu” or “this person”, a rude way of referring to someone.
He is only here to collect the child.
Garling might have been similar, although he does hold a sense of pride over his child with Grow never wanted a child, only doing so out of obligation.
We also see that each of the First Twenty might have some role to play in Imu’s system.
Thirteen of the First Twenty make up the Holy Knight order, including the Five Elders.
Among them, the Manmeyers were responsible for providing a desirable vessel or servant, mostly due to the heterochromatic eyes.
Imu says that Grow talks too much and so Grow apologizes and walks away.
Brook is in denial, saying this is just a bad dream since he knows everything about Shuri ever since she was born, even changing her diapers.
Shuri mocks Brook’s crying, saying she wants to be protected by stronger people like those in the Holy Land and says that she does not need brook anymore.
Shuri stabs Brook in the head with Gavotte Bond en Evant and he drops his sword, then falls to the ground, singing in desperation.
Cows~, frogs, slaves, and kings alike~♪
Once everyone dies, they’re nothing but bones~~♪
In the end, we’re all just be bones~~♪
And that’s the end of it~♪
Brook falls down. Shuri and Grow leaves.
Brook awakens while lying in bed to see his soldiers waiting him and surprised that he could survive a sword pierce clean through their head.
That is because it cleanly missed the major blood vessels and the brainstem as it passed through, the brain itself is intact.
Brook asks for the King but is told he is dead.
Most of the citizens have already abandoned this country and the soldiers worry since even if they become refugees, what country will take them in.
Brook now remembers everything that transpired in the throne room as the wound reopened and blood and tears gush out of his face.
The flashback ends.
Back in the present, Brook explains to his crew that back then they didn’t even know Devil Fruits existed.
Brook always thought what he saw (the king’s death and Gunko looking like the devil itself) was a hallucination that terrified him forever. Now, he tearfully wonders if he can trust Princess Shuri once more.
Imu vs. Loki continues.
Imu says that saving the children was what led to the defeat of the giants 800 years ago, and now history will repeat itself again.
In the absolutely epic final double-page spread of the chapter, Luffy appears behind Loki and punches Imu in the face with Conqueror’s and Armament Haki fused together and the punch scene effect is a direct parallel to Luffy’s punch against St. Charlos in Chapter 502.
Editor’s note: “I’m sure everyone else enjoyed it as well. I walked around so much at Pokémon GO Fest in Tokyo Kaihin Park that my legs got worn out.”
There will be NO BREAK NEXT WEEK.
One Piece Chapter 1187 will be released on July 6, 2026.
