One Piece Chapter 1189 Spoiler Preview: Imu Reveals 3 Weapons from Void Century

Based on early community leaks, One Piece Chapter 1189 follows immediately after Imu’s devastating assault on Luffy in the previous chapter. The preliminary details indicate that the World Government’s supreme ruler continues to crush the Straw Hats’ defense, reportedly summoning several of the nineteen ancient weapons originally forged by the First Twenty Kings, with at least two now targeted at Zoro and Sanji.

The upcoming chapter is rumored to be titled “King of the World,” pointing toward an arsenal of Void Century relics far larger than previously anticipated. Readers should keep in mind that these initial details are unofficial until the chapter’s official publication.

One Piece Chapter 1189: Imu’s Three Weapons From Void Century

Before the heavy conflict resumes, the chapter opens with a lighter cover page showing Nami scolding Zoro, Sanji, and Luffy after they have all been transformed into monkeys, providing a brief moment of levity. Once the narrative shifts back to the main action, Imu wields more than just a single blade, allegedly deploying the ‘Sea God Sword’ to pin Luffy against a tree right beside the weapon that struck him previously.

Furthermore, Imu supposedly equips Sommers with the “Sword of Wrath” to confront Zoro, while handing Killingham the “Spear of Holy Command” to engage Sanji. These arms have never been seen before, and leaks suggest they are part of a massive set of nineteen legendary swords at Imu’s disposal. The chapter reportedly builds toward a climax where Imu attempts to finish off Luffy using the “Xingtian Axe,” only for Gaban to suddenly step in and intercept the blow.

Loki Remembers Shanks’ Warning About the King of the World

Amid the intense combat, a quieter and potentially more significant scene takes place involving Loki. He recalls a past conversation with Shanks from the day Harald died, during which Shanks warns him that the World Government is preparing for all-out war and that Elbaph’s ultimate threat isn’t an admiral or a Gorosei member, but the mysterious King of the World.

Given that this identity mirrors the chapter’s title, Eiichiro Oda appears to be connecting long-standing narrative threads, implying that Shanks may have understood Imu’s true identity far in advance. Elsewhere, Gunko’s ice is reportedly beginning to melt though she remains unconscious, while Usopp experiences an ominous premonition that something dreadful has happened to Luffy.

While these character-driven moments may not generate as much initial buzz as new weapons, they play a critical role in shaping the direction of the arc. As always, these details stem from early community leaks and remain subject to change until Manga Plus and Viz Media officially release Chapter 1189 on July 26, 2026.
