One Piece chapter 1133 spoilers reveal tasteful additions to Robin’s backstory prior to her reunion with Saul

One Piece chapter 1133 spoilers begin with the issue’s alleged title, which they claim as “Please Praise Me.” Spoilers then discuss the issue’s cover story, which continues Yamato’s pilgrimage across Wano. Holdem appears in this one and takes Otama hostage, looking the same as when fans last saw him in the Wano Arc. Speed is seen lying on the ground defeated, with Yamato seemingly surprised at this turn of events.

Spoilers then discuss the issue’s story content, which begins with additions to the end of Robin’s childhood flashback. The same events of the Oharan genocide are seen but from the perspective of different characters. For example, one such point of view is Spandine’s, revealing that he framed her for sinking the Marine battleships and destroying the evacuation ship via his conversation with reporters.

One Piece chapter 1133 spoilers then show a young Robin running away through multiple places, and showing what she’s up to in each. For example, she’s seen looking at a map book in a bookstore and adding Ohara to the map. She’s also seen eating food from the garbage next to a dog. There are also new reactions seen from people in the places where Robin was fleeing from, which are similar to what fans saw in her original backstory.

This culminates in a young Robin reaching a cliff and pondering jumping off of it to end her own life. However, she stops after remembering her mother Nico Olvia and Jaguar D. Saul’s words to her, which implored her to live. This leads the flashback to end with Robin running away while trying to imitate Saul’s trademark laugh, his words and her mothers’ appearing alongside the voices of those who curse her.

Returning to the present, One Piece chapter 1133 spoilers see the Great Erik dock at the Elbaph village’s pier, which is surrounded by “sea clouds that act like water.” The others in Luffy’s group whom he, Usopp, and Chopper split off from then arrive in a flying rowboat, the New Giant Warrior Pirates and Thousand Sunny with them. Vegapunk Lilith comments on Elbaph having a perfect climate which can accommodate all of the Vegapunk technology.

The entire group then gathers in the middle of the village, with Nami commenting on Robin’s new hairstyle, and Robin on Nami and co’s new outfits. Hajrudin then introduces the New Giant Warrior Pirates to the Straw Hat crew, including Road who has been tied up and crucified for his crimes against Luffy and co. Hajrudin also congratulates Luffy on becoming a yonko, while Luffy comments once again that he doesn’t need subordinates, with Hajrudin insisting otherwise.

One Piece chapter 1133 spoilers also see Big Mom’s defeat acknowledged by the Giants, with Gerd commenting on their friendship and Linlin’s crime of killing Jorul. The Giants are about to start the Straw Hats’ welcome feast, but this is interrupted by Gerd telling Robin of Saul’s location and desire to see her. Robin plans to go alone, but the entire crew wants to go with and support her, leading to the feast being delayed.

Gerd takes them to meet Saul, who he explains teaches history to Ebaph children. He also lectures about various “books,” most likely meaning the Oharans’ research on the Void Century. Gerd then shows them the Warrior’s Spring, which is where Saul is waiting for them near Elbaph’s Library of Owls. The spring is so large that it looks like a sea, which is complete with a sandy beach.

One Piece chapter 1133 spoilers see Gerd attribute this to the fossilization and erosion of parts of the tree, creating the sand seen here. While there are no tides, a waterfall coming from a nearby enormous branch creates waves. As Robin shares how nervous she is, a Giant girl is seen running at them and shouting about Saul falling and not moving. However, Robin is laughing after seeing what Saul’s doing despite the seriousness of the situation.

Robin then begins approaching Saul while smiling, with him eventually raising his head and roaring at her. This is a callback to their first meeting in chapter 392, where he did the same exact thing. Saul laughs after roaring at Robin, prompting her to say his laugh is still weird. Saul says he didn’t know what kind of face to make since he’s awkward, so he decided to play a prank on and surprise Robin instead.

One Piece chapter 1133 spoilers see an emotional conversation between them start, with Saul saying how much Robin looks like her mother. They also discuss Dr. Vegapunk sharing the voice of Ohara with the world. Saul then explains that he suddenly woke up in the see, surmising that the flames which burnt Ohara down also melted the ice Aokiji imprisoned him in. This is further supported by the burn scars all over his face and body.

However, Robin interrupts him by saying she doesn’t want to talk about depressing things, instead asking Saul to praise her for living for this long. Saul laughs and obliges, praising her for surviving and coming all this way. Another flashback panel shows a young Robin crying in the rain while Robin and Saul cry with emotion and joy in the present. The chapter ends with additional dialogue from the pair as the Straw Hats look on, happy for Robin’s happiness.
