One Piece chapter 1193 was officially released on September 13, 2026, in Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump Double Issue #42-43, just before the magazine went on a short hiatus. This chapter was incredibly important for all the combatants when it came to building up the exciting battles in Elbaf, especially against Nerona Imu, the King of the World. At the same time, it also turned a lot of attention to the right-hand man of Luffy, Roronoa Zoro.
The Elbaf arc has been officially confirmed by Eiichiro Oda to be the training ground for both Zoro and Sanji to master the Color of the Supreme King. Now, in Chapter 1193, Zoro has officially taken his Haki to a completely new level, making him stronger than ever before, and taking him ever closer to the level of an Emperor of the Sea.
As the first member to join the Straw Hat Pirates, Zoro's importance to the overarching narrative of One Piece is tremendous. While Zoro aids Luffy on his quest to become the Pirate King, he also has his own ambition that Eiichiro Oda officially highlighted for the very first time in One Piece Chapter #5, which was released on August 25, 1997, in Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump Issue #39. Zoro aims to become the greatest swordsman in the world, and to do that, he needs to surpass Dracule Mihawk, the man who currently holds this title.
“I'm going to have to keep the promise for both of us. I will become such a great swordsman that my name will be known even in the heavens!” — Zoro announces his dream, One Piece Chapter #5
Over the years, Zoro has faced quite a lot of powerful fighters, and through sheer grit and resourcefulness, he has managed to best them all, closing the gap with Mihawk in the process. The most significant step for Zoro came in the Wano Country arc, where he received Oden's beloved blade, Enma. In One Piece chapter 1033, Roronoa Zoro officially tapped into the Color of the Supreme King for the very first time, thanks to Enma, which has the innate ability to draw out a person's latent Haki. Zoro then utilized this power to defeat King the Wildfire in battle in One Piece chapter 1035, which was officially released on December 20, 2021.
“If this is what it takes, then I shall become the King of Hell!” — Roronoa Zoro, One Piece Chapter #1035
Five years later, Zoro is now finally mastering the Color of the Supreme King. Even though he utilized the Color of the Supreme King against King, he was unaware of the fact that he was using it in the first place. Zoro's control over this power was thus severely lacking. In One Piece chapter 1152, which was officially released on June 23, 2025, in Shueisha Weekly Shonen Jump Issue #30, Scopper Gaban confirmed to Zoro that he held the Color of the Supreme King inside him. Gaban also said that until he truly understood how to control this power, he wouldn't be able to bring out his true strength. To that end, Zoro is trying his utmost best to control this ability properly, and now, in One Piece chapter 1193, he has finally gained some control over it.
"Absurd.. Haki is a power that must be controlled to be used properly. Your Captain is one of the Four Emperors. How do you plan on aiding him without knowing that?" — Scopper Gaban shows Zoro's lack of Haki control, One Piece Chapter #1152
