ONE PIECE Chapter 1188 Spoilers & Manga Raw

As the mists of Elbaf clear, Luffy finally faces the ancient stone tablet revealing the true nature of the Sun God. Activating Gear 5, Luffy unleashes a devastating new technique, 'Liberation Thunder,' turning the power of the sun into a physical shockwave. Blackbeard, caught off guard, finds his stolen tremor abilities resonating uncontrollably with Luffy's rhythmic heartbeat. Laughing, Luffy declares that his dawn will extinguish Blackbeard's darkness once and for all, forcibly stripping away Blackbeard's shadow. Suddenly, the 'remnants of memory' left by Joy Boy echo throughout the island. Robin discovers the final line on the tablet, confirming that Luffy holds the key to commanding the last Sea Kings. Trembling in fear, Blackbeard takes a direct, haki-infused blow to the face. With the truth of history now unearthed, the final path to Laugh Tale is finally laid open before the Straw Hat crew.
