2. Spoilers of Chapter 1140 of One Piece

One Piece chapter 1140 spoilers have got some huge moments that no one was expecting. Luffy’s intense fight with Scopper Gaban takes a wild turn, but it’s Zoro who ends up influencing the outcome in a surprising way. Meanwhile, the World Government isn’t sitting idle—two new Holy Knights show up, and one of them might have connections to the Five Elders. Oh, and Shamrock Figarland drops a pretty ominous hint about something big coming to Elbaph. Things are definitely getting more intense, and the Straw Hat Pirates are in deeper than ever.

I. Luffy vs. Gaban

The chapter picks up right where 1139 left off—Luffy, in his classic hotheaded fashion, accepts Scopper Gaban’s challenge to fight for the key that could free Prince Loki. The former Roger Pirate doesn’t hold back, forcing Luffy to activate Gear 5 almost immediately. While Luffy starts strong, Gaban’s experience and sheer strength allow him to dominate large portions of the fight.

Just as things start looking grim, Zoro steps in. But here’s the twist—before Zoro can even swing his swords, Gaban suddenly surrenders and hands over the key without a fight. What’s the deal? Did he recognize Zoro’s strength? Or was it something deeper—perhaps a painful memory from his past? Either way, this moment leaves us with more questions than answers.

II. Gunko’s Ritual: Two Holy Knights Enter the Scene

Meanwhile, deep within the forests of Elbaph, Holy Knight Gunko is busy preparing a magic circle known as “Abyss.” The goal? To summon a new Holy Knight to aid the World Government’s forces. However, something unexpected happens—two knights emerge instead of one.

The first is Saint Sommers from the Shepherd House of the Celestial Dragons, a bearded, bespectacled figure who shares blood ties with Gorosei Saint Ju Peter. His presence alone hints at just how deeply the Five Elders are connected to the Holy Knights.

The second is Saint Gillingham from the Limotive House, who possesses the Kirin ability, making him a fearsome mythical hybrid—possibly similar to Saturn’s transformation. The fact that two Holy Knights were summoned instead of one suggests some unseen force at play. Did someone interfere with the ritual? Or is Elbaph about to become an even bigger war zone?

III. What is Shamrock’s Game?

As things escalate, Holy Knight Shamrock Figarland is ordered to return to Mariejois. But before leaving, he drops an ominous remark—he plans to “make a game” on Elbaph. This cryptic statement could hint at something devastating, possibly an upcoming event that will put the giants and Straw Hats in grave danger.

With the World Government’s growing interest in Elbaph, it’s clear that something bigger is at play. Is this just another conquest, or is the island tied to an even greater secret?
