Sanji the Dragon Slayer! One Piece Chapter 1176 Early Spoilers!

In the previous One Piece chapter, we finally learn of Loki’s God Fruit being Nidhogg, the rival of Sun God Nika and another of Imu’s ancient opponents.

One Piece Chapter 1176 is titled, “It’s My Pride”

Color pages in the cover: New version of volume 12 cover with all the current Straw Hats.

If you recall, Volume 12 is where the Loguetown Arc and East Blue Saga ended.

We see Luffy running off with some meat alongside the first Straw Hats: Zoro, Nami, Usopp, and Sanji, with the Going Merry behind them.

Lilith and Franky Save the School

While heading for the burning school. Lilith asks Franky why he has not used other energy power than cola. 

Nami and Zeus try to extinguish the fire at the school but one of the dream monsters devours Zeus.

A piece of Big Mom’s soul consumed by an imagination monster. Huh,

Lilith and Franky arrive at the school and Lilith uses a machine to extinguish the fire, and then she freezes the school.

From the fire she extinguished, Lilith also create a new power source, Super Cola, for Franky.

Self-Racism?

Killingham confronts Jinbe and says he is disgusting because he is a Fishman, a non-human, which is ironic since Celestial Dragons are racist towards everyone, including humans and this remark implies a preference to being human anyways. 

Killingham also says he is glad for wearing a helmet, that way he won’t breathe the same air as Jinbe.

Sanji hears that and kicks Killingham so hard that he breaks Killingham’s helmet, humbling the World Noble.

This does tie well to Sanji rejecting his royal origins and despising the upper class for mistreating women and other people.

Now it so happens that Sanji is defending a fellow male and because he is too disgusted by the racism of the World Nobles.

We need more Straw Hats humiliating Celestial Dragons.

And this is a literal dragon.

Or could he also be part Fishman.

Notice that in his human form, there are some gill-like structures on his neck.

On top of his sharp teeth while having his human face, it is possible that he is 

Now there is one major limit to this theory: Killingham is in his Human-Beast Form.

Kaido has sharp teeth and the skin of his Zoan form when in his Human-Beast Form.

Yet Kaido’s face is predominantly blue like his Dragon form while Killingham is confirmed to have human skin, not black like in his Qilin form.

There could also be more to Killingham’s story since we saw a lot of Sommers’ past in God Valley already.

With Sanji taking on a Holy Knight, Jinbe and Franky, using the Super Cola, defeat more dream monsters.

The Solution to Domi Reversi

Dorry and Brogy momentarily regain control of themselves, like Harald, who was a Holy Knight instead of a Demon, and they decide to kill each other.

Strangely, the only way so far to reverse Domi Reversi is by actually killing the target, as was shown with Rocks, who was restored to normal after being defeated by Roger and Garp.

And since Domi Reversi Demons, like Holy Knights, need Conqueror’s Haki, to afflict their immortal bodies, it also means that said Haki could wake them up for a moment and ultimately lead to that outcome.

When a target is killed, Domi Reversi control disappears as after the death of a Demon, that creature is back to normal and fully recovered.

In the last page we see Zoro, Dorry, Brogy and Hajrudin preparing to fight the other Domi Reversi giants.

This means that Elbaph is not doomed.

This does play out like Domi Reversi but rather than rely on Gear 5’s white to revert the black, it is simply the act of devouring or claiming the pieces back on the board.

Unfortunately it is confirmed that there will be a BREAK NEXT WEEK.

One Piece Chapter 1177 will be released on March 16, 2026.
