One Piece's Elbaf arc hurtles towards its conclusion at a blistering pace as the battle between Nerona Imu, the King of the World, and the warriors of Elbaf continues. Monkey D. Luffy, the new Emperor of the Sea, is going all out against Imu with his Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Nika powers. While weaker than his adversary, Luffy has been surprisingly impressive over the course of the last few chapters, all the while sustaining massive injuries. However, with the release of One Piece Chapter #1193 on September 13, 2026, he has now officially run out of gas, which confirms his defeat against Imu once more.
Despite wielding tremendous powers, Luffy is not yet ready to defeat Nerona Imu, and his lack of power is a wake-up call, as Loki moves in to cover him with his new hybrid form.
One Piece chapter 1193 was officially released on September 13, 2026, in Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump Double Issue #42-43. In this chapter, we finally got to see the aftermath of Luffy's powerful Dawn Thor Bullet that he launched on Imu in the previous chapter. Quite clearly, this attack was powerful, as it broke through Imu's Shield of Emptiness: Tohu Va Vohu, and dealt deadly damage to him. The power of this attack was shown even more remarkably in this chapter, as it tore through the Adam Tree itself and sent Imu flying.
Imu: Blade of Chaos: Tohu, Blade of Nothingness: Vohu!! Shield of Emptiness: Tohu wa Vohu!
Luffy: Ouch!!! It feels like my hand's about to shatter! Ow ow ow ow!

Quite clearly, this attack was incredibly impressive, but it still was not enough to put down the King of the World, despite him being in a severely nerfed state, as confirmed to us directly in One Piece Chapter 1182 on May 10, 2026. With Luffy already being on his last legs, this attack proved to be his last significant assault on Nerona Imu. Now, he is officially out of gas, as is usually the case when he taps into the power of Gear 5. With Luffy running out of power, he has now lost at yet another attempt to take down the King of the World. Meanwhile, Loki, the Accursed Prince of Elbaf, moves in to cover for him as he taps into his Ryu Ryu no Mi Model: Nidhoggr hybrid form for the very first time. With his new form, Loki has now moved ahead of Luffy as Elbaf's strongest warrior, and we are eager to see how he performs in battle from here onwards.
