One Piece Chapter 1198 gives Luffy a brand new form, and Loki finally shows his hybrid Zoan form in the same chapter. Titled The Island of Monsters, the chapter also includes Imu‘s third form.
Chapter 1197 ended with Sanji’s Conqueror’s Haki awakening and a kick that left Saint Killingham spitting blood. The latest chapter picks that fight back up, with Sanji shattering Killingham’s armor and sending him flying. Killingham then runs from Sanji in fear, just as Sommers ran from Zoro.
Meanwhile, Luffy and Loki have been fighting Imu on Elbaf, and Chapter 1198 appears to turn that fight upside down. According to the spoilers shared by PewPiece, Killingham senses Imu’s Haki, and Imu then reveals his third form, an enormous creature with an elongated torso, a long neck, and massive horns.
Loki takes Imu on in his hybrid Zoan form, but Luffy has left the battlefield, and Loki says he never expected Luffy to run away mid-battle. Imu ultimately defeats Loki with a single powerful blow.
Imu then says he must return to Mary Geoise as soon as possible or his life will be in danger. and I think that lines up with Killingham sensing his Haki, since Imu’s own situation seems to be overtaking the Elbaf fight.

Why Did Luffy Leave The Fight Against Imu?
Back in the giant village, Gaban and Usopp wonder why Luffy suddenly ran, and Gaban makes a remark about him.
“That kid… he’s a Zoan-type,” he says.
Luffy then appears on a rooftop in the giant village, watching Zaza MMA, the Rain God, who has cut off her own arm and thrown the kidnapped children aboard the ship. The timing may point to a reason for his exit, since Luffy may have left Imu to deal with the crisis in the village.
Luffy has transformed into a mysterious new form with black hair, a large ape-like nose, a tail, and fangs. He jumps, grabs Zaza’s body, and bites it, causing it to explode. The giants are left asking who he is.
The new look also lines up with Gaban’s Zoan-type remark. Luffy’s Devil Fruit has long been established as a Zoan, and a tail, fangs, and an ape-like nose read as a beast-style change. We will have to wait for the full chapter to see what the form can actually do, since the leaks so far only describe how it looks.

Elsewhere in Elbaf, Sanji shatters Killingham’s armor with a powerful kick and sends him flying, and Killingham ends up running away from Sanji in fear. The scene mirrors Sommers fleeing from Zoro.
Killingham also senses Imu’s Haki during the chapter, which lines up with Imu’s urge to leave for Mary Geoise. It could mean Imu’s own situation overtaking the Elbaf fight, though the leak does not say so directly.
There’s a break following chapter 1198, but before that we will have a detailed look at Luffy’s new form when the chapter officially drops on Sunday, November 8.
