7 Shocking Secrets Revealed In One Piece Volume 112: 'The Harley'—Including Roger Pirates' Hidden Jobs
The anticipation for One Piece Volume 112, titled "The Harley," is reaching a fever pitch, as this installment promises to be one of the most lore-heavy releases in the series’ history. Scheduled for its Japanese release on July 4, 2025, this volume continues the Straw Hat Pirates' journey deep into the legendary Elbaph Arc, following their dramatic escape from the Egghead Incident. It’s not just the main story that's causing a stir; the accompanying SBS section from Eiichiro Oda is already confirming decades-old fan theories and dropping massive revelations about the world’s most famous pirates.
This upcoming volume, which collects chapters 1134 through 1144, is essential reading for every dedicated fan, as it moves the narrative forward while simultaneously looking backward to the greatest mysteries of the Void Century and the legendary figures who shaped the world. From the hidden occupations of the Roger Pirates to new details on the Giants' homeland and a mysterious ancient race, Volume 112 is a goldmine of information that completely recontextualizes the history of the Grand Line.
The Complete Breakdown of One Piece Volume 112: 'The Harley'
Volume 112 marks the second compiled book of the ongoing Elbaph Arc, the land of the Giants, and is poised to deliver on the narrative promises set up by the previous volume. The arc itself is a long-awaited destination for the Straw Hat crew, especially for Usopp, who dreams of visiting the land of his warrior heroes. The title, "The Harley," hints at a major focus on a specific character, location, or event that will define these 11 chapters.
- Japanese Release Date: July 4, 2025
- English Release Date (Estimated): Early-to-Mid 2026 (Following the typical 6-9 month gap)
- Volume Title: "The Harley"
- Chapters Covered: Chapters 1134 to 1144 (11 Chapters)
- Arc Continuation: Elbaph Arc (The Land of the Giants)
The New Giant Warrior Pirates Take Center Stage on the Cover
The cover art for Volume 112 is a stunning visual confirmation of the volume’s thematic focus on Elbaph and the Giants. The main illustration features the Straw Hat Pirates, but the background is dedicated entirely to the members of the New Giant Warrior Pirates, a formidable fleet led by Hajrudin.
This is a major moment for these characters, who were first introduced during the Dressrosa Arc and later rejoined the Grand Fleet under Monkey D. Luffy. The cover art, set against a striking blue background, includes the following confirmed members:
- Hajrudin: The captain and a key figure in the new generation of Giants.
- Stansen: A towering warrior who fought alongside Hajrudin.
- Goldberg: One of the fleet’s powerful combatants.
- Road: A member of the crew, emphasizing the collective strength of the Giants.
- Gerd: The only female member of the New Giant Warrior Pirates, known for her immense size.
This visual emphasis suggests that the chapters within will heavily feature the politics, history, and current conflicts of the Giants, potentially involving characters like Dorry and Brogy, and the long-lost secrets hidden within Elbaph.
The 4 Biggest Lore Drops in Chapters 1134–1144
The chapters compiled in "The Harley" are widely expected to contain the biggest lore dump since the revelations on Egghead Island, specifically regarding the Void Century and the true history of the world. Chapter 1134, titled "The Owl Library," strongly suggests a deep dive into ancient texts and forbidden knowledge, likely facilitated by Nico Robin.
While the full details are under wraps, the confirmed thematic focus of the Elbaph Arc, combined with early summaries, points to these critical revelations:
1. Unveiling the Ancient Kingdom’s True History
Elbaph is the oldest known civilization in the One Piece world, and its history is deeply intertwined with the Void Century. It is heavily speculated that the chapters in Volume 112 will finally reveal Elbaph’s role in the Ancient Kingdom and its connection to Joy Boy. This could include the location of a crucial Poneglyph or the true meaning of the "Will of D."
2. The Truth Behind the Twin Mystery
Early leaks and discussions surrounding Chapter 1134 hint at a major plot point involving a "twin" and the Red-Haired Pirate, Shanks. This has fueled theories about a possible imposter, a long-lost sibling, or a shocking revelation about Shanks’ past that could tie him directly to the World Government or the Ancient Kingdom's downfall. Such a reveal would fundamentally change the power dynamics of the Yonko.
3. The Secret of the 'Owl Library'
Chapter 1134’s title, "The Owl Library," is a massive clue. Libraries often house forbidden or protected knowledge. This facility on Elbaph is likely where Robin and the Straw Hats uncover the deepest secrets of the Giants, perhaps learning the origins of the Giant Warrior Pirates, the reason for the long-standing feud between Dorry and Brogy, or the identity of the person or entity known as "The Harley."
4. The Full Scope of Dr. Vegapunk’s Message
While the Egghead Arc concludes in the preceding volumes, the fallout from Dr. Vegapunk’s worldwide broadcast will continue to resonate. Volume 112 will likely show the immediate and dramatic reactions of the World Government (specifically the Gorosei and Imu) and major figures like the Revolutionary Army to the information leaked by the scientist. The stakes of the final saga are raised exponentially as the world learns the terrifying truth.
Exclusive SBS Revelations from Volume 112: New Pirate Lore
The SBS (Shitsumon o Boshū Suru) section, where Eiichiro Oda answers fan questions, is often a source of exclusive, world-building details that never make it into the main manga. Volume 112’s SBS is particularly explosive, providing definitive answers to questions fans have had for decades.
5. The Official Occupations of the Roger Pirates
In one of the most significant lore drops of the volume, Oda officially revealed the specific occupations of several key members of the legendary Roger Pirates crew. This information is vital for understanding the internal structure and functioning of the crew that conquered the Grand Line and found the One Piece. Knowing these roles adds new depth to characters like Silvers Rayleigh, Scopper Gaban, and others, confirming they were not just fighters but skilled specialists.
6. Gill Bastar's Affiliation to the Rocks Pirates
Another monumental reveal concerns the infamous Rocks Pirates, the crew of Rocks D. Xebec that terrorized the world before the God Valley Incident. Oda confirmed that the character Gill Bastar was indeed a member of this legendary crew. This connection links Gill Bastar to other iconic former Rocks Pirates, such as Kaidou, Big Mom, and Whitebeard, further fleshing out the history of the world’s most dangerous pirate alliance and providing context for his current status in the New World.
7. The Explanation of the Dosundada Race
Oda also took the time to explain the Dosundada race, a mysterious group that has only been hinted at or briefly seen in the manga. Details about their origins, abilities, and connection to the larger world—perhaps even to the Giants or other ancient races—were clarified. This kind of deep-cut world-building is exactly what makes the SBS sections so valuable and is a testament to Oda’s meticulous planning for the final saga.
Volume 112 is not just another collection of chapters; it is a pivotal historical document in the One Piece narrative. With the Elbaph Arc in full swing, the Straw Hats are closer than ever to uncovering the secrets of the Void Century, while the SBS provides the necessary historical context from the Golden Age of Piracy. Fans should prepare for a massive influx of information that will change their perception of the world and the characters they love.
The confluence of the main story’s high-stakes action and the SBS’s definitive lore drops ensures that "The Harley" will be a volume referenced for years to come. Be sure to secure your copy on July 4, 2025, to experience the full weight of these monumental revelations firsthand.
