The climax of One Piece's Elbaf arc officially lined up Luffy's biggest test, as Nerona Imu, the King of the World, descended upon the Warland in Chapter 1179 on April 5, 2026, in Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump Issue #19. Since then, Monkey D. Luffy has been tested to his absolute limits. The clash between Luffy and the King of the World officially began in One Piece Chapter 1187 and has since continued.
