Chapter 1129

Townsfolk beg the Sun God to settle down over the damage done to their land, yet he swears the wrong against him can never be pardoned. Genuinely struck by the effort poured into the block world, Luffy tries not to wreck it as the crew makes its break. Nami, leading the way, discards the blueprint she grabbed, since she has committed every turn to memory and knows that holding a straight course leads to the way out. A steel-wire net then ensnares the group, and their captor brags the room is a holding pen built to contain even giants. Zoro and Sanji shear through it with ease, leaving him stunned.

Spotting the bones of his Ear God, the Sun God reels in disbelief that they felled the creature, which turns out to have been a rabbit known as a Glutbunny. He breaks into wild laughter, delighting that his little walled garden has stirred to life since the pirates entered it, and declaring that even if Hajrudin honors Luffy, he never will. Usopp's pop green shatters a mirror but fails to breach the wall behind it, so Luffy prepares to smash through. Nami tells Usopp how thoroughly the Sun God has angered her, and Sanji agrees, though only because he believes the captor is a lecher who stripped and redressed Nami, but she steadies him, promising their foe is overdue for some divine reckoning.

A flashback unmasks the Sun God as Road, the navigator serving under Hajrudin's New Giant Warrior Pirates. His raven Muginn recovered the drifting Sunny at sea with the crew asleep, having slipped through the Sleeping Mist Zone. Bitter over Hajrudin pledging loyalty to a human he deems beneath giants, Road kept them sedated and arranged them in his set, which accounts for everything before. Back in the present, Nami uses Zeus to zap him into a brief paralysis, and Luffy drives his fist through the wall, finally springing the crew into the open, where Usopp hopes Elbaph waits beyond and Luffy grins at the sight outside.

Road's scorn for humans underpins the entire abduction, casting him as a rogue within Hajrudin's crew rather than its leader, since he opposed enlisting in Luffy's Grand Fleet at all and operates behind Hajrudin's back. The chapter also marks Luffy's new knack for channeling Gear Fourth into single, isolated limbs rather than his whole frame. The cover advances the Yamato pilgrimage serial with ninja training at Amigasa Village.
