DETAILED SUMMARY
ONE PIECE CHAPTER 1169 FULL SPOILERS. More details of the chapter, thanks to redon from Arlong Park Forums. Chapter of 19 pages (2 color pages from Color Spread and 17 black and white normal pages). Chapter 1,169: “Have to die as soon as possible”.
Color Spread in chapter cover: “Rock Pirates wearing black suits”. 14 members of Rock Pirates appear in the cover: Rocks (stroking a tiger), Newgate, Linlin, Kaidou, Shiki, Stussy, Gloriosa, Streusen, John, Marlon, Ochoku, Ganzui, Barbet,
and Kyo. Gaban and Shanks were talking in Gaban’s house (it’s the continuation of the scene we saw in chapter 1,152). Gaban explained Shanks that he met Garp and
teamed from him that Roger had a son. And now Gaban passed on that information to Shanks. Shanks: “Ohhh, then captain’s son would be Like my younger brother!!” Gaban: “Yeah… Like you and Buggy are “our” sons.”
Cut to the Aurust Castle. Harald moved on his own and killed the giant guard who brought the chains to tie him to a pillar. Harald sensed that Imu’s control
isn’t only affecting his body, soon his mind and thoughts will also be changed ac- cording to Imu’s will. Harald ordered all giant guards to kill him, then Loki and Jarul entered in the
throne room as giant guards were stabbing Harald (same scene we saw in chapter 1,152). But Harald recovered and started to killing guards and releasing massive Haki.
Back to Gaban’s house. Shanks explained Gaban how “contracts” work while he showed Gaban the mark on his left arm.
Shanks: “Me and Harald formed a “Shallows Covenant” with an entity called the “Great One” in the Holy Land. But even with just this “Shallows Covenant”, if I’m within the distance of their
ability… It would be impossible to go against their orders…!!” Gaban: “What a queer power.” Shanks explained Gaban that he revealed his true self to Harald when they were
together away from Mary Geoise, so they become friends. We can see a panel of that moment with Harald saying to Shanks “l knew it!! You are from Red Haired Pirates, right!? Shanks said that Harald believed that if he joins the “Knights of God” Elbaph
will finally join the World Government too. But that also means Harald must sign a higher covenant. Gaban: “And is that trouble?” Shanks: “By forming that new covenant, the “Knights of God” gain “superhuman
strength” and “immortal body”. They are also given the power to generate an “Abyss” to transverse over great distances. In return, the Great One’s voice will follow them to world’s end.
No matter where they are, they won’t be able to go against their orders…!! Harald won’t be able to say no to them anymore!! And I sincerely doubt those greedy people will still keep their promises then…”
Suddenly, Shanks and Gaban sensed a terrifying Haki coming from the Aurust Castle.
In the throne room Loki and Jarul pinned Harald down on the floor. Harald confessed to Loki, Jarul and the giant guards that he has been doing dirty jobs for the World Government but now he has been fooled by Imu. Harald ordered Jarul to give Loki the “Legendary Akuma no Mi” since he thinks
that even Loki wouldn’t be able to defeat him after being given Imu’s power-up. Then Harald talked to his son while he was crying.
Harald: “I have to die as soon as possible!!! Do it and sit yourself on the “throne” Loki!! Then to the people what a fool of a King I was!! Use my death to build your reputation!!! I don’t give a damn what people are going to say about me after my death!!!
What matters the most is the future of you understand, don’t you!!?” Loki: “You… I’m speechless…!!” Harald: “l beg you, Loki!! You are the only one I can count on!!!” After entrusting everything to Loki, Imu’s influence increased and Harald’s mind
changed completely. Harald didn’t transform into a monster, Imu simply took total control of Harald’s body.
In an AMAZING double page Harald started killing all giant guards. Harald ordered the guards outside the throne room to seal all doors immediately because
there were criminals in the castle. One giant guard stabbed Harald’s neck but he recovered immediately.
Giant guard: “How dare you…!! You are not our King Harald anymore!!” Harald: “Don’t be ridiculous. I’m still Harald… but now I’m a loyal servant of the “Great One”…
None will survive…!! I won’t let a word of what’s happening in this castle get out!!”
Loki ran to the treasure room. Harald said he will be the one that will eat the “Legendary Akuma no Mi” and then he will give Elbaph to Imu. Jarul attacked Harald to stop him saying if Harald eats that Akuma no Mi, the world will end. That’s when Jarul got
stabbed in his head. Shanks and Gaban arrived to the Aurust Castle and attacked Harald. But once again, Harald recovered immediately.
Harald: “Shanks… This immortal body of mine… is fascinating!! I can feel my superiority as an organism…” Shanks: “Damn it… Is there no way to cancel the order…!?” Loki arrived the treasure room at the end of the chapter. He unlocked the chains and
opened the door. Inside Loki saw a treasure box containing the fruit and “Ragnir” hammer behinds it. But there’s something strange, because it looks Like “Ragnir” was moving a little… Loki: “This is the forbidden “Akuma no Mi” that is passed down in Elbaph!! Ehh?”
Chapter ends with “Ragnir” moving on its own and attacking Loki, who barely dodges the attack. Strange voice: “GeGeGeGel!” Loki: “Uwahh!! Who is this!!?”
End of the chapter.

One Piece 1170 Spoilers Release Date
One Piece 1170 Spoilers will be coming out on Monday, 24 December 2025. The chapter will be officially released later on 4 Jan 2026.
One Piece 1170 Spoilers
– Chapter is entirely focused inside the Royal Castle.
– Harald vs Shanks & Gaban fight continues.
– Harald uses a new named attack against Shanks and Gaban.
– Loki tames Ragnir.
– Loki opens the treasure chest near the end of the chapter.
– No Break Next Week
ADDITIONAL SPOILERS – LIVE UPDATING
– Ragnir is the guardian of the mythical devil fruit. Ragnir has the devil fruit of Ratatoskr.
– Ratatoskr is the guardian of Yggdrasil and elbaph’s treasure.
– The legendary devil fruit is massive.
– Chapter is 10/10 for Loki fans.
Elbaph’s treasure is Nidhogg Fruit, which lives on world tree Yggdrasil.
Nidhogg (or Níðhöggr) is a fearsome dragon or serpent in Norse mythology that gnaws at the roots of Yggdrasil, the World Tree, residing in the misty underworld realm of Niflheim. Also called the “Corpse-Tearer,” it symbolizes destruction, decay, and the constant threat to cosmic order, feeding on the bodies of the dead and playing a role in the chaos of Ragnarök.
Relation between Ratatoskr (RAGNIR) & Nidhogg, Ratatoskr is a squirrel who runs up and down the world tree Yggdrasil to carry messages between the eagles perched atop it and the serpent Níðhöggr.
EYE OF NIDHOGG
EYE OF LOKI
More spoilers coming out, so stay tuned.
BRIEF SUMMARY 1170
One Piece Chapter 1170: Opposite Loki fights Ragnir. Harald says no one has ever eaten the legendary Devil Fruit, since Ragnir has been protecting it all along.
Gaban explains how to damage the immortals, basically, you coat your attacks with Conqueror’s Haki, which causes pain and slows their recovery.
Keep attacking repeatedly until they can’t fight anymore. Gaban says he knows how to fight them because the Holy Knights tried to abduct Shanks several times, but they were defeated everytime by Roger’s Pirate.
Loki and Ragnir’s fight continues, but they’re exhausted. Loki’s hammer is broken, and Ragnir transforms into a cutie squirrel.
The squirrel accepts Loki and open the Devil Fruit chest, and Loki eats it. His hands turn into claws, but only his silhouette is shown.
Loki vs Harald continues, while Loki’s shape still isn’t clear, only a silhouette. Loki, with Ragnir (in human form), lands the final blow on Harald, coated with Conqueror’s Haki and lightning.
Shattering harald to pieces. No break from Oda.
ADDITIONAL SPOILERS
The reason no one could ever eat the Legendary Fruit of Elbaf is because Ragnir protected it.
Loki and Ragnir have an extreme fight and Loki barely manages to “defeat” it. Even Harald was only convinced that he could defeat Ragnir after because he got Imu’s powers.
Gaban and Shanks fight Harald, but they are powerless because Harald possesses Conqueror’s Haki, that is far too strong for them(Harald to strong for them).
Harald also slaughters all the giants in the castle during the fight!
After Shanks and Gaban fail, Loki enters the room with his Zoan power (we don’t see it).
He fights Harald alone; the battle is shown as shadows on the walls. Loki inflicts enormous damage on Harald and breaks his Conqueror’s Haki.
ALL OF LOKI’S POWER SO FAR AS OF CHAPTER 1170
– Legendary Devilfruit Power, which allows him to defeat HK Harald
– Legendary Devilfruit Weapon, which is as strong as Base Loki
– Insane Advanced CoC (which was able to injure and defeat Harald)
– Ancient Giant Blood
Harald only comes to his sense because Loki inflicts a great deal of damage on him; without this damage he received, he would not have been able to gain control.
Loki didn’t even want to kill his father, but had to after Harald forced him to do.
J.C.STAFF, one of the most well-known animation studios in Japan, has recently come under heavy criticism from fans over the quality of some of its anime projects. Social media posts, reviews, and forums have been filled with complaints about rushed animation, stiff movement, and moments that fans believe fall short of expectations.
While it is normal for fans to express opinions, the intensity of the backlash has prompted industry peers to step in and defend the studio, urging viewers to understand the bigger picture of how anime is produced and to stop blaming the artists directly.
The main point raised by professionals in the industry is that the animation committee, not the individual animators, usually makes the most important decisions about a show. Animation committees are groups made up of multiple stakeholders, including production companies, distributors, broadcasters, and sometimes sponsors.
They decide on the budget, schedule, and direction of the project. These committees hold the power to approve scripts, storyboards, and even key frames, often leaving animators with strict limitations. When fans notice issues in animation, the blame often falls unfairly on the studio staff who are actually executing the work rather than on the decision-makers who created the constraints.
Animators often work under intense pressure, facing tight deadlines and limited resources. Some episodes are scheduled to be completed in only a few weeks, even if they involve complex fight scenes or detailed backgrounds.
Within these constraints, animators still strive to produce the best work possible. According to industry insiders, when a scene feels rushed or poorly animated, it is usually because of time and budget restrictions imposed by the committee, not a lack of skill or effort from the artists themselves.

Industry Experts Defend J.C.STAFF, Urge Fans to Blame Committees, Not Animators
Peers of J.C.STAFF have spoken publicly on social media and in interviews to remind fans that the individuals creating the animation are talented professionals doing their best under challenging circumstances.
They explain that studios often juggle multiple projects at once, and animators may have to split their attention across several shows. Mistakes or lower-quality moments are therefore more likely a result of systemic issues rather than the capability of the staff. These voices are trying to shift the focus away from personal attacks and toward understanding the production process.
One key point that has been raised repeatedly is that committees often prioritize speed and cost over quality. They aim to meet broadcast schedules and satisfy sponsors, which can force animators to compromise on certain details.
This means even highly skilled artists are sometimes unable to fully realize their vision. Many experienced animators and directors have shared stories of similar situations in their careers, emphasizing that fans’ frustration should be directed at the system rather than the creators themselves.
The call for more respectful criticism has also highlighted the importance of community awareness. Fans are encouraged to appreciate the hard work and dedication that goes into producing anime. Constructive feedback can help studios improve and adjust their approach, but harassment or personal attacks are damaging. Online abuse has been linked to burnout, mental health issues, and even animators leaving the industry. This makes it crucial to separate criticism of the product from attacks on the people behind it.
Some industry professionals suggest that fan discussions should focus on the committee’s decisions, such as pacing, funding, or episode order, rather than the talent executing the work. By understanding who holds the real power in production, viewers can engage in more meaningful conversations about quality and storytelling. This perspective also sheds light on why some shows, despite talented staff, may struggle to meet fan expectations.
Peers Step In as J.C.STAFF Faces Online Criticism Over Animation Quality
J.C.STAFF itself has not remained silent. In some instances, the studio has released statements emphasizing the challenges of anime production and acknowledging the hard work of its animators. While they cannot openly criticize committees, their statements hint at the pressure and limitations the team faces. These messages align with the support coming from other studios and peers, reinforcing that the criticism aimed at artists is often misplaced.
Ultimately, this situation serves as a lesson for both fans and the wider anime community. While it is natural to express disappointment, understanding the complex structure of anime production helps fans direct their feedback appropriately.

It also encourages appreciation for the artists, whose talent and dedication keep the industry alive. By focusing on committees and production decisions instead of blaming individual creators, the conversation can become more productive and respectful.
In the end, defending animators is about protecting the people who bring stories and characters to life. Industry peers hope that fans will remember that while criticism of a show is fair, harassment of those creating it is never justified.
They want audiences to recognize that the issues often lie not with the artists’ ability, but with the constraints of the system under which they work. With understanding, appreciation, and proper criticism, the anime community can support both its fans and its creators.
One Punch Man follows Saitama, a hero so powerful he defeats any enemy with a single punch, leaving him bored and searching for a true challenge. He joins the Hero Association and faces increasingly strange and powerful foes, while remaining largely unrecognized by the world. The story parodies typical superhero and shonen tropes with satire and brilliant action.
