Dorry, Brogy, and Scopper Gaban all get ready to fight the new monsters.
With the sleepwalking kids walking toward a forest fire, all the adult giants from Elbaph are understandably frantic. The latest chapter of the One Piece manga showed how they plan to find the culprits behind these acts and also try to stop the children from walking too far. Although it’s hard to manage the whole situation with all the new and massive monsters looming over them, Elbaph has some great warriors eager to take up the defense.

One Piece Chapter 1144 recap

The issue opens with Ripley taking Franky to a massive mechanical facility in Elbaph. We see that Lilith and Bonney are already there and they reveal that they got lost. Lilith says that by her estimation, this scientific building has probably been in the island for more than three millennia. Ripley confirms by saying that there’s no record of the building’s creation in Elbaph either. Lilith says that she will live and study the place. Suddenly, Bonney screams as a massive cloud shaped thundering monster creeps up behind them. It’s created from one of the children’s fear of lightning.
In the Western Village, a monster with a skull attacks everyone. It’s from a child’s fear of the zombie-like monster Draugr. The giants decide to take the human guests away from the village to keep them safe, despite their protests. Collun wants to fight as well, and insists he can do it because he’s Gaban’s son. But an adult giant says that all kids will stay in a safe place with the guests.
Nami finally tells Jarul about the Shanks lookalike, and his partner who might have started this fiasco. Jarul orders everyone to look for humans that aren’t the Straw Hats and even makes an announcement. The Straw Hats say that they’ll help look for the human intruders, but the giants don’t listen to them. Then, we see Collum bringing a tiny boat. He lets Nami, Usopp, Brook, and Jinbe in it as they sail away toward the commotion.

The chapter then moves to the villains, and we see them listening to the giants’ announcement about the suspicious humans. However, they don’t seem to care as they’re pretty far away from the conflict. In the next panel, Saul tries to stop the kids with two giant shields. Although they stop, the children run into each other and hurt themselves with the thorny vines. Robin says that searching for the person who’s doing this is the best way to stop it. But Jarul thinks that the kids' minds end up in the fire before they can find the perpetrators. He throws a rope lasso at one of the children and separates him from the group and plans to do the same to the rest. However, a massive Fenrir monster shows up out of nowhere.
We learn that the other villages in Elbaph are also reporting similar monster attacks. Some of the giants kill the Draugr monster. But before they can rest, some more monsters turn up and terrorise them. Thankfully, Dorry and Brogy from the Giant Pirate crew arrive in time to kill one of the monsters instantly. The pirates arrive on the Great Eirik ship to save the day, and the Mountain-Eater Scopper Gaban is also with them.

I really liked the preparation to take on the mostly invisible enemies that are trying to hurt the children. Jarul might have some really creative solutions to stall the kids momentarily, but the rising pressure of the new monster is something they can’t ignore. With the Giant Pirates here, we will get to see the formidable warriors Dorry and Brogy fight again. I’m also excited to see Scopper Gaban, the left-hand man of Captain Gol D. Roger, in action. It’s also likely that we’ll see the conflict between Loki and Luffy’s group, although the giant is suffering from pretty bad wounds right now.
