Chapter 1,173: “Warriors Generation”.
- Reader request in the cover: “Usopp waiting to capture some beetles with honey on the tip of his nose”. Chopper (hiding behind a tree) looks the honey on Usopp's nose while licking his lips loool
- Chapter starts with Dorry, Brogy and Domi Reversed giants attacking the Western Village in an AMAZING double page. Zoro arrives and starts jumping on giant's heads, that way he won't get flanked by giants and won't be affected by Domi Reversi.
- When Zoro reaches the center of the group of Domi Reversed giants, he jumps even higher and attacks them with “Santōryū Ōgi: Rokudō no Tsuji” (Three Sword Style Secret Technique: Crossing the Six Paths).
- Then, in another INCREDIBLE double page, Dorry and Brogy attack Zoro together, but Zoro uses his swords to propel himself out of the way. Dorry and Brogy end up slashing into one another. This scene calls back to their clashes in Little Garden, but here their attacks cut parts of their bodies.
- Cut to Brook (still tied up) that is crawling on the ground until he reaches Gunko. Brook calls her “Princess Shuri” because he thinks Gunko must be related to Princess Shuri since she should be 80 years old by now.
Brook (angry): "That “face”!!
The “blue hair”, “iris of different colors”... and having something to do with the “Holy Land”...!!
Not to mention your love for my music!! Yes, everything matches!! Right, Princess Shuri!!?
I... don't want to remember you in the slightest!! You “FATHER SLAYER”!!
The man whose life you took...!! My “benefactor” to whom I owe so much!!!"
- After hearing Brook, Gunko briefly comes back to her sense. But Imu is not willing to let Gunko regain control of her body.
Gunko: "Ughh…!!"
Imu: "Gunko, you... Don't tell Mu... that you're beginning to remember things!?"
Gunko: "Argh..!! Run, Brook!!!"
- Gunko manages to free Brook and Straw Hat crew from the arrows, but Imu takes control again and makes Gunko attack Brook.
- At the same time Sanji reaches Nami group (all released now from Gunko's arrows). But Robin is unable to move because she’s still trapped by Sommers’ vines.
- Cut to the giant kids that reach Sommers and the ship. The kids' parents (Ripley and other giants) catch up with them but are blocked by evil Nika MMA. However they all bravely attack Nika MMA together since they are “Warriors Generation” too. But Nika MMA resists the attack and it’s now the one who attacks kids' parents.
- Gerd, Goldberg and Road are close to the area where children and parents are, but they won't arrive in time to help them even if they run. So Gerd and Goldberg decide to attack from a distance to defeat the monster (Gerd and Goldberg use the same attack pose as Dorry and Brogy).
Gerd: "Let's do this Goldberg!!"
Goldberg: "Got it!!"
Gerd/Goldberg: "Double Commanding..."
Road: "Hold on!! I shall join you as well!! We shall rescue you momentarily!! Dear Brother!!!"
Gerd/Goldberg/Road: "Triple Commanding... “Koukoku Sovereignty” (轟国 - Roaring Nation)!!!"
- Gerd, Goldberg and Road combine their powers and use an EPIC attack that pierces through the Nika MMA body.
- In the last page of the chapter, we see that Nika MMA is blown toward Sommers, but he uses his spiked club to blow it away from him. However, Nika MMA ends up falling on the ship that was going to be used to kidnap the children and sinks it.
- Chapter ends with Sommers shocked face loooool
Sommers: "It falls on the ship...!! Oh shit...!!"
- End of chapter, NO BREAK next week.
