  • The upcoming chapter is set for release Sunday
  • It will feature Raizo and Jimbei working together

A new weapon, a more powerful Luffy and a ninja trying to save the entire island in an ingenious way — these are just some of the exciting things fans can look forward to in "One Piece" 1046, according to leaked panels and spoilers that are available online.

Eiichiro Oda, the legendary mangaka behind the hit series "One Piece," hypes fans again in Chapter 1046 by showing Luffy holding a bolt of lightning in his hands while preparing to launch an attack against Kaido.

Based on one of the "One Piece" 1046 panels shared by OroJapan on Twitter, fans will still see Luffy in his Gear 5 form, but the revived version appears to be a lot more potent than the first one shown in the previous chapter.

Luffy has not used any weapon in any of his significant fights over the past years, so it will be quite interesting for fans to see him level up this way.

While the first five pages of the upcoming manga installment center on the battle between Luffy and Kaido, around nine pages of it focus on Raizo and other members of the Minks-Pirates-Ninjas-Samurai alliance.

In the upcoming chapter, Raizo works with Jimbei to put out the fire that threatens to engulf the entire Onigashima island.

Using his scrolls, which contain water from Zuneisha's baths, Raizo floods Onigashima and, with Jimbei's help in controlling the flow of the water, hopes to expel the fire in the inner part of the Skull Dome.

Chopper and Nami are in a panic because of the fire inside the castle, and Chopper asks Zeus to stop the fire using his rain. However, Zeus declines Chopper's suggestion and says a huge fire is going to burn him.

In the Right Brain part of the Skull Dome, Franky rushes to find Chopper since Zoro is on the brink of death.

As for Yamato, he asks Momonosuke to create Flame Clouds that will support Onigashima.

Meanwhile, Kaido is on his limits and with his power dwindling, his Flame Clouds will no longer hold up the floating island.

If Momonosuke doesn't create more robust Flame Clouds, the entire island will crash on the Flower Capital.

Titled "Raizo," "One Piece" 1046 is set for release Sunday.
