Is Usopp About to Reclaim the Elbaph Arc? One Piece Chapter 1177 Hints!

Has Usopp finally taken his rightful place as Elbaph Arc’s protagonist?

ABD x ONE PIECE © 1997 by Eiichiro Oda/SHUEISHA Inc.

In the previous One Piece chapter, Sanji takes on Killingham while Franky acquires a new type of cola power source.

The preview for One Piece Chapter 1177: “The Straw Hat Pirates launch a counterattack against the Knights of God, but…!?”

Usopp Takes the Lead??

With this hint, it seems this chapter is built up to finally give Usopp his moment to shine as Elbaph Arc’s lead after…50 chapters.

This is insanely long.

Even Zoro felt like a solid protagonist for Wano, which was built to be his arc even though it was the foundation for Gear 5’s awakening.

What will Usopp do now?

Will he also face Gunko-Imu alongside Luffy and Loki?

Or will he join the battle to save the Domi Reversi Giants?

The Other Fights

Zoro cuts down the Domi Reversi Giants, as shown with this second hint of Buggy’s pieces falling off.

This could also be a reference to Sanji vs Killingham since Killingham is also a Holy Knight and might have regenerated.

Or maybe Sommers is back in action, who knows.

Brook is there, his condition does not look very good but he is there fighting.

Luffy and Loki only appears in four panels, finally reaching Imu.

Break Next Week?

There will be NO BREAK Next Week!

One Piece Chapter 1178 will be released on March 30, 2026.
