One Piece Manga: The Story So Far!
The story of the One Piece manga is in the midst of its most crucial arc. So far, the manga has serialized 1023 chapters, and the Wano Kuni arc is on the verge of its conclusion. Currently, all the members of the Straw Hats alliance are inside the castle of Onigashima. Most of the teammates have also infiltrated the lands of Onigashima. Sanji and Zoro have successfully taken down Queen and King. Now, only the battle between Kaido and Luffy is awaited. In the upcoming chapters, Sanji will reveal the secret about his powers. He will tell the King and Queen how he was able to defeat the monsters with mere human powers.
Moreover, Jack and Inurashi will commence their fight in the coming chapters. The Perospero vs. Nakomamushi and Raizou vs. Fukurokuju battles will also commence in the upcoming editions. After all the side battles come to a conclusion, the chapters will focus on the ultimate Kaido Vs. Luffy showdown. Thus, with the conclusion of this battle, the Wano Kuni Arc of the One Piece manga will also come to a halt.
