Raw scans are out for One Piece Chapter 1167, and we now know that the story is continuing the intense Elbaf flashback, and Oda is revealing some important lore. This chapter will cover how political betrayal, ancient grudges, and personal guilt shaped some of the most important giants in the series. The title for this chapter is 'The Son of Ida,' and it focuses on Harland and the burden he carried.
Interestingly, we also see Shanks and his time in Mary Geoise, Loki and his rage that ends with uncovering a heartbreaking truth. According to these raw scans, One Piece Chapter 1167 has 17 pages of lore, and it is undoubtedly one of the most emotional and revealing instalments of the Elbaf storyline so far.
Disclaimer: This article contains major spoilers from One Piece Chapter 1167. Reader's discretion is advised.
Harald’s burden deepens: From giant warrior to devoted blade of god
One Piece Chapter 1167 reveals that Harald is determined to atone for what he refers to as the giant's thousand years of sins. He has accepted a secret mission appointed by the World Government. We now know that his task is to help the Marines hunt pirates silently.
Basically, he was given the work to do all the dirty work for the higher-ups. He becomes brutal as Harald is a giant; he easily cleaves an entire pirate ship and soon ends up earning a fearsome reputation. Rumors spread throughout the Grand Line about a “monster in the fog,” but the narrator in One Piece Chapter 1167 clarifies he is not the Florian Triangle demon, as his reach extends far beyond that region.
After Roger’s death, Harald ends up rising even higher in the World Government ranks, being promoted to “Devoted Blade of God” by the Five Elders. We learn that this rank is distinct from the Holy Knights, revealing a three-tier contract system:
- Surface Sea Contract: the weakest bond
- Deep Sea Contract
- Sea Floor Contract: the true bond between the 13 chosen warriors and “God.”
The Elders reveal that Harald has the potential to rise to become a Holy Knight one day. This means that Elbaf has a chance to be officially accepted into the World Government. Many fans are not the biggest fans of his character, but after this chapter, we get some clarity behind his complex personality. He is shown as a flawed, conflicted man torn between loyalty to his people and the guilt of their past.
Shanks in Mary Geoise: The chapter’s most shocking reveal
One of the biggest surprises of One Piece Chapter 1167 is the confirmation that Shanks personally helped Fisher Tiger free slaves 15 years ago. In the raw scans, we briefly see Hancock and her sisters during the escape, and a cloaked figure aiding Tiger, finally revealed as Shanks. Just when we feel this is the biggest reveal, Oda has another shock planned for his readers.
A few days later, Harald in One Piece Chapter 1167 spots Shanks in Mary Geoise itself, casually walking and conversing with Shamrock. Shanks wears a Knights of God uniform, has a bandage over his left eye, and appears to be living there alongside Garling. This raises massive questions:
- Was Shanks training under the World Government at this point?
- Was he gathering intel on the Holy Land?
- Why was his eye wounded, and who attacked him?
Chances are, Shanks is frustrated to be associated with anyone with the World Government, but because his father is connected to Imu, he is still not free to do what he wants. This leads to fans talking about the day he saved Luffy from the monster as the day he did not lose his arm but gained his freedom.
Ida’s declining health and the brewing tragedy
Meanwhile, in Elbaf, Ida falls seriously ill. She refuses to call Harald, insisting he must continue his dangerous mission. Her sons, Hajrudin and Loki, now adults, are worried, though Loki hides his fear behind pride. In One Piece Chapter 1167, Ida is shown to acknowledge both the boys as her sons. But as we know, Oda does not keep mothers around in the story; her life also comes to a tragic end.
The raw scans then deliver one of the flashbacks’ darkest moments. Loki confronts a giant from Brewers Village, who smugly explains that he poisoned Ida. They felt she was not deserving of being the queen. This confirms a horrifying political assassination attempt driven by clan loyalty and bitterness toward Ida’s outsider origins. And what comes in One Piece Chapter 1167 next is Loki’s reaction, and it is terrifying.

Trending
The final pages of One Piece Chapter 1167 show Loki completely losing control over himself as his mind is clouded with pure rage. He continues to burn the entire Brewers Village down, and we see Loki crush the traitor by the neck. He is filled with rage and fear as he acknowledges Ida as his mother.
This moment also reveals Loki’s hidden trauma as his biological mother had once thrown him into the Underworld for having “strange eyes. It was Ida who saved him both emotionally and literally. Loki’s bond with Ida is deeper than blood, and Chapter 1167 cements him as one of the most compelling characters in modern One Piece.
