What Can Fans Expect From The Episode?
Currently, the One Piece anime is yet to reach the 1000-episode mark. Before that episode arrives, there is a lot that is still left to be answered. The first and foremost is the Kaido Vs. Luffy brawl. Since the anime entered the 900th series, fans have been expecting this battle. However, it now seems like the makers are saving the battle for a special occasion. Thus, fans can expect more filler plotlines until the series reaches the milestone.
Before that, the raid on Onigashima will continue in the arena. Most of the men in Kaido’s army are drunk. Thus, it will be easier for the Straw Hat Pirates to take them down. Other battles, including the battle between Kaido’s men and the samurai, will also take place in the middle episodes. Fans can also expect to see Yamato’s catharsis before One Piece Episode 1000 comes on-air.
