In the latest chapter, titled “神典 (Harley),” we witnessed the shocking death of Saturn Saint, a pivotal character in the series. This event not only raises questions about the future of the story but also delves into the deeper lore of the D clan and the historical truths that have been hinted at throughout the series. As a long-time fan, I find this development both thrilling and perplexing, as it opens up new avenues for exploration in the rich tapestry ofONE PIECElore.

Overview of Chapter 1138: “神典 (Harley)”

Published inWeekly Shonen Jumpissue 10 of 2025, chapter 1138 has captivated readers with its intricate narrative. The chapter presents the “神典” as a complex text that reveals significant historical truths about the world ofONE PIECE. However, the text is notoriously difficult to interpret, leaving many fans and scholars alike to ponder its implications. To gain insight, we consulted Kenji Kamiki, a renownedONE PIECEresearcher, who shared his thoughts on the chapter’s content and its importance.

Key Insights from Kenji Kamiki

According to Kamiki, the “神典” is a monumental event in theONE PIECEnarrative. It is divided into three worlds: the First World, the Second World, and the Third World, each representing different historical events. He suggests that the unveiling of the “神典” will ultimately lead to a complete understanding of the history within theONE PIECEuniverse. The interpretations of the text vary widely among fans, but it is more concrete than the wall paintings previously seen in the series.

Content Breakdown

• First World:Describes a history where a certain race enslaved humans to create artificial energy, leading to the earth’s wrath and subsequent disasters.
• Second World:Chronicles the conflict between this race and humans, highlighting the sorrow of the D clan as their world faces destruction.
• Third World:Illustrates the victory of the sun god Nika over the current rulers, marking the first instance of peace.

Kamiki emphasizes the importance of identifying the “certain race” that opposed humans and the true nature of the D clan. He speculates that the term “隷人” (slaves) mentioned in the First World may refer to the ancestors of the Celestial Dragons, suggesting that the twenty royal families were originally enslaved.

The Death of Saturn Saint

In a shocking turn of events, the character Catarina Devon from the Blackbeard Pirates made contact with Saturn Saint, leading to his demise. This incident raises numerous questions about the implications of his death and the future of the Blackbeard Pirates’ plans.

Devon’s Abilities

Catarina Devon possesses the powers of the Inu Inu no Mi, a Mythical Zoan-type Devil Fruit that allows her to transform into a nine-tailed fox. This transformation capability is crucial to understanding her actions during the encounter with Saturn Saint. It appears that the activation condition for her ability is physical contact, which aligns with her successful touch on Saturn Saint.

Mission at Egghead

Devon and Van Augur arrived at Egghead with a specific mission, which was complicated by the unexpected appearance of the Straw Hat crew and the Navy. The encounter with Saturn Saint was fortuitous, allowing Devon to complete her mission by touching him, despite the original objective being to reach Dr. Vegapunk.

Saturn Saint’s Authority

With the death of Saturn Saint, a power vacuum has emerged within the ranks of the Five Elders. The introduction of a new member, Figarland Garling, as the “Scientific Defense Warrior” raises questions about the future dynamics of power within the World Government. The implications of Saturn Saint’s death on the command structure of the Pacifista and Seraphim are yet to be fully understood.

Conclusion

The death of Saturn Saint marks a significant turning point in theONE PIECEnarrative. While the immediate effects may not be apparent, the long-term consequences for the Blackbeard Pirates and the World Government are profound. As fans, we are left to speculate on the future of the series and the unfolding mysteries surrounding the D clan and the historical truths of theONE PIECEworld. Stay tuned for more developments!
