After the one-week break, the anime returns to showcase all the action featuring Gol D. Roger, Whitebeard, and Oden. "One Piece" Episode 966 will see Roger working toward fulfilling his earnest desire.

Episode 965 ends with a cliffhanger as Whitebeard and Roger’s swords clash nearly destroying the island. "One Piece" Episode 966, which is titled "Roger’s Wish! A New Journey!" is set to take the battle forward.

The official preview trailer for the upcoming episode shows Roger’s dream is to reach the last island on the Grand Line and the key is the forbidden cultural heritage of Kozuki Oden and the Ponegliffs.

In the new episode, Roger and Whitebeard join forces and set sail for the place where no one has gone before.

The previous episode revolves around Orochi’s backstory and his transformation from a timid young boy to a powerful and manipulative man.

The first half of "One Piece" Episode 965 shows Sukiyaki, who is severely ill, choosing the next in command. He announces Oden will be the next successor but since he is away on an adventure, Sukiyaki appoints Orochi as the proxy successor.

The episode shifts the focus to Orochi’s past and he is shown running from thugs in the forest. He ends up taking shelter in his old home and sees his relatives Kurozumi Semimaru and Kurozumi Higurashi.

Orochi is scared and Higurashi tells him she will give him a special power that will help him become a shogun.

Luffy, Kazuya Nakai as Roronoa Zoro, Kappei Yamaguchi as Usopp, Hiroaki Hirata as Sanji, Kazuki Yao as Franky, Chikao Otsuka as Gol D.
