The latest One Piece chapter, 1128, titled “RPC,” brings us deeper into the Land of Gods as the Straw Hat Pirates get tangled in a series of strange and exciting events. This chapter has everything you could ask for—action, mystery, humor, and of course, those classic Oda Easter eggs hidden throughout.
Let’s dive into the most important moments, look for clues, and break down what makes this chapter a must-read.
Arrival at the LEGO-like “Land of Gods”
The chapter kicks off with the crew arriving at Bigstein Castle. The whole place looks like it’s built out of LEGO pieces—a quirky touch that instantly grabs your attention.
Sanji is seen carrying Nami down from the castle as Luffy, Zoro, and Usopp tag along. They land below and discover the entire kingdom is made of these block-like pieces, which is a fun Easter egg for fans who know that Oda loves sneaking playful elements into his designs.
Usopp, always alert to details, realizes something weird—this place isn’t Elbaf! It seems their giant-like surroundings and costumes are throwing him off. But what’s really going on here?
Who are the “Gods” of This Land?
Things get serious when they meet a bearded man riding a giant rabbit. This guy looks like just another oddball inhabitant, but he reveals something huge.
This kingdom is called the “Land of Gods,” and it’s ruled by powerful figures like the Ear God (a rabbit), the Spike God (a hedgehog), and—get this—the Sun God. The Sun God seems to be the most dangerous of them all, and the man warns them not to go near the Sun God’s Temple. No one has ever returned from it alive!
It’s at this moment that we start seeing Oda’s famous Easter eggs. The Sun God has long been hinted at in the series. Fans might remember Luffy’s Nika form (also known as the Sun God Nika). Could this be a subtle reference to that? Is Oda connecting the dots?
The Mysterious Giant Mirror and Diorama
As the crew heads toward the temple, things get really strange. The road seems to stretch on forever, and out of nowhere, a giant mirror appears. The reflection shows the sky and land reversed. For a moment, the Straw Hats are confused, unsure if they’re looking at reality or just another illusion.
Once the mirror breaks, they realize they’re inside a giant LEGO diorama, complete with human-sized toys and blocks. The diorama looks like a model of the kingdom, but it’s more than just a toy—it feels alive.
Easter Egg: Could the mirror symbolize the upcoming truths that are about to be reflected back at the crew? Oda loves playing with metaphors, and this mirror might be a clue about what’s really going on in the “Land of Gods.”
Chopper’s Rescue and More Clues
In a fun moment, Chopper appears, trapped inside a cage on a giant table. He’s panicking because his collar is too tight, and he can’t free himself. But, as always, Zoro saves the day and releases him.
Nami then finds something odd—a blueprint of a room filled with blocks. Could this blueprint be part of a bigger puzzle? It feels like Oda is dropping hints that this whole place is a construct, maybe even a trap.
The crew is starting to realize that nothing here is what it seems. The diorama, the mirror, the blocks—could this all be part of a larger plan designed by the so-called gods?

Battle with the “Sun God” and the Giant Snake
The action heats up when Luffy, in classic fashion, charges straight into a confrontation with the Sun God. The Sun God is a massive figure with a skull on its head and carries a staff and shield. But here’s the twist: we don’t know if this god is male or female. The face is hidden behind a mask, making the god even more mysterious.
The fight becomes even more chaotic when Luffy faces off against a giant snake while battling the Sun God at the same time. He goes all out in Gear 5, and we see him use his Gomu Gomu no Dawn Pistol to strike the snake.
Meanwhile, Zoro and Sanji have their hands full with other enemies. Zoro even brings up the smell of synthetic resin, something that came up when they roasted a rabbit earlier.
Easter Egg: The mention of resin could be Oda’s clever way of hinting at something larger—possibly a reference to how this world is “manufactured” like a toy model.
The Enraged “Sun God” and the Escape Plan
The Sun God becomes furious after hearing the noise of the fight, and things take a dangerous turn. The Straw Hats realize they need to get out fast, but how? In a panic, Luffy and the crew decide to run straight into a wall. Luffy’s instinct tells him this might lead them out of this strange diorama world.
The townspeople are in shock, yelling that the Sun God is chasing after them. Just as it seems like they might have a chance to escape, the Sun God bellows: “How dare you…!”
What’s going to happen next? Will the Straw Hats make it out alive? Is the diorama truly an elaborate trap, or is there more going on behind the scenes? Fans are left at the edge of their seats as the chapter ends with a cliffhanger, and there’s no break next week, meaning we’ll get answers soon!

FAQs
It’s a mysterious kingdom where the Straw Hats find themselves in Chapter 1128. The land is ruled by powerful “gods” like the Sun God, Ear God, and Spike God. The kingdom itself seems to be made of LEGO-like structures, and nothing is as it seems.
The Sun God in this chapter is a giant figure with a skull mask, staff, and shield. Their true identity is hidden, and it’s unclear if they’re male or female. However, there’s a lot of speculation that this character might be tied to Luffy’s Sun God Nika form.
The diorama discovered by the crew appears to be a giant model of the kingdom, but it’s more than just a toy. It might represent a fabricated or controlled reality, suggesting that the gods are manipulating the land and its people like pieces in a game.
Chopper is found trapped in a cage, and Zoro rescues him. His capture and collar could symbolize the Straw Hat crew being trapped by the gods, but his release hints that they might soon break free from this illusion.
