KEY POINTS

  • "One Piece" Chapter 1002 is set to arrive on Jan. 31
  • The manga is on a week-long hiatus, thus the late release date
  • The incoming chapter could reportedly reveal the events happening in other places of Kaido's mansion

The previous chapter of "One Piece" showcased the intense battle between the two Emperors of the Sea and the five Supernovas, but some fans predict that "One Piece" Chapter 1002 will show the events happening in other parts of the Skull Dome.

Although spoilers for the upcoming chapter are not yet available, fans have come up with their own predictions on what's going to happen. On the "One Piece" subreddit, gyrozepp95, one of the admins who constantly shared the manga's spoilers, shared their insights on the potential events that would be shown in the upcoming chapter. They predicted that fans might see Chopper finally completing his Ice Oni plague antidote with Hyogoro's men guarding him against enemies.

There is also a great chance that Mangaka Oda would show Sanji being rescued by Brook or Robin from the clutches of Black Maria, they predicted. Marco the Phoenix might begin getting overwhelmed by Kaido's Lead Performers Queen the Plague and King the Conflagration, resulting in XDrake showing up and fighting one of the All-Stars. "One Piece" Chapter 1002 could reportedly show Otama revealing her plans.

This could involve Usopp using his sharpshooting ability to force Tama dangos on the gifters through their mouths. Taming these SMILE eaters would be easy using this technique, but it might not apply to PageOne and Ulti since both are wearing face masks. Fans might also see the fight between Sasaki and Franky in this new chapter, they predicted.

"One Piece" Chapter 1002 could also show fans the status of Orochi and Fukurokuju. Other fans want to see Robin getting her own spotlight showcasing her in a one-on-one fight perhaps against Black Maria. However, this might not be the case. It can be recalled that a few chapters earlier, Law uncovered the Road Poneglyph in the basement of the Skull Dome.

Oda might want to highlight Nico Robin's brilliance with these rock steeles instead of putting her in a brawl with Kaido's minions. Fans also predicted that the current ACT in the manga could end very soon. It is worth noting that all of these are just predictions and wishful thinking from fans while the spoilers for the manga are not yet available.
