Some exciting events will happen in "One Piece" Chapter 1004. Fans would get to know a mysterious character, who could be vital to the samurai's victory, in the incoming manga installment.

Also, they will finally get an update on the condition of the Red Scabbards after their remarkable battle with Kaido on top of the Skull Dome in "One Piece" Chapter 1004. The latest spoilers shared by some reliable insiders on the manga's subreddit reveal that Bao Huang will once again use her ability to locate the Red Scabbards. King the Conflagration then orders Tobi Roppo's Black Maria to kill Oden's vassals.

The spoilers reveal that there are ten people at the Red Scabbards' location with the tenth person apparently lending the samurai a helping hand. This is the part that gets a little tricky. There are only eight remaining members of the Akazaya Nine. It is possible that Bao Huang is not aware that Kanjuro has already been defeated, which is why she told Kaido's army that the tenth person is helping them.

Before the battle between the Supernovas and the Emperors of the Sea started, Luffy asked Law to teleport the scabbards. It is possible that Law has teleported them to the place where the scabbards left Kanjuro bleeding on the ground. Fans have their own theories about the identity of these mysterious characters.

Some say it could be Yamato and Momonosuke, while others claim it is the kunoichi Shinobu. Another interesting theory about the identity of the mysterious character is that it could be Kanjuro, who is not only alive but also remorseful of his treachery. It could be his way of making up with his fellow retainers after betraying them to Orochi. In the Wano Country Arc of "One Piece," fans learned about Kanjuro's true identity.

Aside from brutally beating Momonosuke to the point of unconsciousness, Kanjuro's intel informed Kaido and Orochi of the Red Scabbards' plan. Later, he confronted his comrades with Kaido's army at the back entrance of Onigashima. He mocked his fellow retainers, told them how to beat Momo and informed them about Oden's son's execution. Kikunojo defeated Kanjuro and the scabbards left him bleeding on the ground.

The identity of the character helping the scabbards in "One Piece" Chapter 1004 is still a mystery. The upcoming installment is set to arrive Sunday.
