One Piece chapter 1156 spoilers
One Piece chapter 1156, titled Idols, continues the flashback, detailing the events before the Great Pirate Era. The chapter begins by introducing the old Kuja Pirates, who were considered idols of the sea. Led by Gloriosa, the all-female crew made everyone, from the Marines to those they stole from, fall in love with them.
However, although the captain was adored by all around her, she was upstaged by her own First Mate, Shakuyaku, who received 100 times as many love letters as she did. The beauty of Shakuyaku, or Shakky, had even impacted the Roger Pirates, who tried to confront the Kuja Pirates to claim her.
While Gloriosa herself was deeply in love with Roger, the future King of Pirates had his eyes set on Shakky. However, unwilling to be restrained by anyone, Shakky stepped forward, leaving all her enemies stunned by her looks. With ease, she managed to defeat Gaban and even beat up Roger.
Surprisingly, Shakky showed interest towards Rayleigh, as he was the only member of the Roger Pirates who wasn’t crazy about her. Suddenly, Garp and the Marines appeared near both pirate crews. The Kuja Pirates made a swift getaway after stealing the valuables of the Roger Pirates, while Gol D. Roger prepared to face off against the Vice Admiral.
Garp then launched a Meteor Fist at his opponent while Roger countered with a move called Aramitama, resulting in both of them inflicting significant damage on each other. One Piece chapter 1156’s scene then shifted to Ida’s tavern at Elbaph, where Loki had nearly drowned after trying to escape on a ship. Ida was enraged on his behalf and asked the young boy to live with her.
However, Hajrudin and Loki simultaneously shut it down. Though Loki tried to insult Ida in front of Hajrudin and Harald, she did not take his words to heart and even considered him cute. The Accursed Prince spitefully said that he was sick of how weak Elbaph was, and that he wished to be free like Xebec.
While the young prince kept trying to follow the pirate’s crew every time he was in Elbaph, Xebec refused to let him join. One Piece chapter 1156 ended on Hachinosu, several months after the Rocks Pirates had taken over the island.
Kyo the Hitman, later known as Silver Axe, made his way onto the island, seeking to join the Rocks Pirates. He even beat up rogue criminals who were trying to antagonize him. Meanwhile, the main Rocks Pirates, who were near Hachinosu’s skull, were having a discussion about their future plans.
Rocks D. Xebec shared that he desired two Devil Fruits, one of which was in Elbaph and would have to be consumed by Harald to show its true powers. John figured that they would also need the Galley-La, though Big Mom revealed that none of her contacts could find anything about frozen Giants.

Streusen and Whitebeard questioned their necessity, wondering what use corpses would be to the group. Barbell added on to this, stating that even if the Giants came back to life, they wouldn’t listen to them. Xebec responded that Harald, the king of Elbaph, needed to join them for that very reason.
A young Kaido then commented that they could force the Giants, including Harald, to obey them through brute strength. This angered Xebec, who beat up the boy while expressing that Harald was a good friend. One Piece chapter 1156 ended with Xebec telling his crewmates that Elbaph was key to bringing down the Holy Land.
He ordered those who didn’t believe in him to disperse, and declared that those who followed him would reach the world’s summit.
