Titled ‘Ringleader,’ One Piece Chapter 1187 sets up three major fights of the arc. The cover page features Reiju protecting a duckling who looks like Sanji from the bullying of his father and brothers, all of whom resemble Judge and his sons.

After the punch to the face from Luffy, Imu counterattacks by shooting demonic forces at him and Prince Loki . The energy traps Loki under a huge block of ice, but when his hammer touches it, the ice melts.

However, Imu has more up his sleeve. He creates a talking fire in the middle of Loki’s chest and uses an energy sword called Stimga to stab the giant prince through the talking fire.

On the other side of Elbaf , Zoro vs. Sommers and Sanji vs. Killingham begin. Sanji remembers Gaban telling him that he has all the qualities of someone who possesses the Conqueror’s Haki. He told Sanji, “Become a king if you truly want Luffy to become the King of Pirates.”

Back to Imu’s site, Luffy has transformed into Gear 5, exciting the hidden king. “So you’ve finally appeared… Joyboy!!”

One Piece Chapter 1187 ends with Luffy’s declaration: “Stop calling me by another name!! My name is Luffy! I’m the man who’ll become the Pirate King!!”
