With so many storylines colliding, One Piece Chapter 1162 has the potential to be one of the most emotionally charged and lore-shaking installments yet. Here’s what fans might see unfold next:
1. Dragon’s next move
Dragon may be down but not out. Despite his grave injuries, his inner turmoil remains at the forefront the guilt of having once taken part in the Celestial Dragons’ barbaric hunting games still haunts him. His desperate attempt to save the babies might be his way of seeking redemption. Whether he truly rescues Shanks or someone else, this mix-up could have far-reaching consequences for the world of One Piece.
2. The aftermath of Saint Maffey’s fall
Saint Maffey’s gruesome end may have only scratched the surface of the Satchel Family’s story. The World Government is notorious for silencing those who threaten its secrets, and Chapter 1162 could finally lift the curtain on the enigmatic Knights of God or show the government’s swift retaliation to maintain control.

3. Whitebeard’s tragic loyalty
A heartbreaking fan theory suggests that Whitebeard’s devotion to Rocks might persist until the very end. In a cruel twist of fate, he could one day learn that the child he risked everything to protect possibly Shanks would grow up to play a role in dismantling the very “family” he fought to preserve. If true, it would mark one of Oda’s most devastating ironies yet.
4. Garp’s justice under scrutiny
Garp’s recent actions have split the fandom in two. His decision to ignore dying civilians while clashing with pirates raises difficult questions about what “justice” truly means in the One Piece world. This moral grayness adds a powerful layer of complexity to his character and might foreshadow the choices that shape his legacy.
5. The Shanks–Shamrock mystery
Speculation is running wild that Dragon may have confused one baby for another. Could the Shanks we know not be who we think he is? Could “Shamrock” be hiding a truth that changes everything? If One Piece Chapter 1162 addresses this theory, it might mark one of Oda’s boldest narrative twists yet.
One Piece Chapter 1162 arrives at a pivotal moment in the God Valley flashback a saga that continues to reshape everything fans believed about Garp, Dragon, Whitebeard, and Shanks.
With Oda balancing brutal action and heartbreaking emotion, this chapter could be the spark that sets the final act ablaze. If Chapter 1161 was “the song of love,” then Chapter 1162 might just be its haunting requiem the prelude to the legend’s end.
