Chapter 1142 of One Piece takes readers deeper into the mysteries of Elbaf as the story explores fear in a unique way. The chapter, titled “The Things I Find Scary,” focuses on the island’s giant children and how their nightmares come to life, creating chaos for everyone on the island.
The chapter opens with a terrifying scene at a school in Elbaf, where a massive snake with a swollen head attacks. The creature, known as Jormungandr, comes straight from Norse mythology and represents one of the children’s deepest fears. The school’s principal, Kiba, a walrus-like giant, bravely faces the serpent. Using only a carpenter’s hammer, he lands a strong blow on the snake’s head, saving the students.
At that moment, Saul steps in, leaping from a tree and using Haki to strengthen his attack. He performs a technique called “Final Exorcism,” a clever play on the words “final exam.” This showcases his impressive strength, proving that he is more than just a wise scholar.
Robin and Chopper also make an appearance in this chapter, emerging from Saul’s beard. Chopper immediately rushes to help Mr. Wolf, the physical education teacher, who was badly injured by the snake. Mr. Wolf then reveals a troubling issue—many children from the school have begun sleepwalking out of the school toward the beach.
One Piece Franchise (Credits: Eiichiro Oda )The way they move resembles the story of the Pied Piper of Hamelin, hinting at a deeper mystery. Strange arrows guide the children’s movements, suggesting that the God’s Knights, particularly a member named Gunko, may be involved.
As the sleepwalking children reach the beach, something even more disturbing happens. Enormous shadowy monsters rise from the jungle, each representing the children’s worst nightmares. These creatures include Fenrir, Nidhogg, Loki, and even a terrifying image of Sun God Nika. The giants are shocked to see their worst fears manifest in front of them.
At the same time, the chapter shifts to the Realm of the Dead, where Loki, in frustration, strikes the World Tree with his hammer, Ragnir. This action causes a massive lightning bolt to set the tree on fire, hinting at greater destruction to come.
Back at the school, librarian Ange realizes what is happening. She previously had a discussion with the children about their fears, and now, those fears are turning into reality. This strange phenomenon seems to be linked to the God’s Knights, particularly San Killingham, who can make people fall asleep, and Sommers, who may have the ability to bring nightmares to life.
The chapter ends with an important revelation—among the fears brought to life is Sun God Nika, a name that holds deep significance. This suggests that some giants see Nika as a figure of destruction, which could lead to new challenges for Luffy and his crew.
One Piece Chapter 1142 masterfully blends mythology, action, and psychological horror. By making the children’s fears a reality, Eiichiro Oda explores the power of fear and how it shapes people’s actions. With the God’s Knights involved and the island of Elbaf facing growing threats, the Straw Hat crew’s journey is about to get even more intense. Readers are left eager to see how Luffy and his friends will handle this terrifying situation.
