Written by After the interesting confrontation between Luffy and Scopper Gaban, One Piece is now moving deeper into the Elbaf arc with even bigger stakes. One Piece Episode 1171, reportedly titled “The Great Sinner of Elbaf – Loki Released from the Underworld!?”, is scheduled to be released on July 26, 2026, with no break in the anime’s broadcast schedule (via @OPcom_info on Twitter/X).
In the previous episode, there was a short but significant encounter where Gaban challenged Luffy before allowing him to have the key to Loki. On the other hand, the sudden arrival of the Holy Knights suggests that things are going to get even more intense in the upcoming episodes.

Spoiler Alert !!!This section contains spoilers from One Piece Episode 1170.
What to Expect From One Piece Episode 1171
Episode 1170 of One Piece showed the exciting clash between Scopper Gaban and Luffy. Instead of a full fight, it turned out to be a test, with Gaban finally allowing Luffy to take Loki’s key. At the same time, in the second half of the episode, the arrival of the Holy Knights – Sommers and Killingham – added a darker layer to the story, especially with their plan involving Elbaf’s children.
Now, the early preview teaser and title of the next episode of One Piece Episode 1171 hint that the next episode will probably focus again on Loki. Based on the title of the episode, Loki could finally be released, which can become a significant moment in the Elbaf arc.
At the same time, we cannot overlook the Holy Knights’ presence in Elbaf. Their plan has already started – and if Loki gets released while they are in Elbaf, the situation could become even more intense.
