"One Piece" Chapter 997 will show Chopper finally coming up with the best way to stop the Ice Oni plague from spreading, according to the latest set of spoilers.

The release of the hit manga series' Chapter 997 is still a few days away, but fans now have an idea of what to look forward to, thanks to Redon, Korean insiders and "One Piece" subreddit admins.

According to the latest spoilers, Zoro will obtain the antidote of the Ice Oni virus after defeating Scratchmen Apoo. After getting ahold of the only antidote available, Chopper will uncover that the virus is fused with gas that cools down the body.

It turns out that those infected by the Ice Oni virus can warm their bodies with fire to stop it from spreading, so the Straw Hats' doctor asks the infected ones to do the exact thing while he creates the antidote. He also promises them that he would cure everyone—even the enemies.

Seeing that Chopper is about to ruin his plan, Queen the Plague will reportedly shoot him using a bazooka in Chapter 997. However, Zoro will allegedly send a shockwave from his sword, which would destroy the Queen's bazooka. The spoilers also give an update about Sanji.
