One Piece 1077 Could Exceed Expectations: The Chapters Show The "Strategy" Followed By Oda

The wait for One Piece chapter 1077 is almost over. After a well-deserved break for Eiichiro Oda, who also gave us a chance to enjoy the SBS presented with the new volume released in Japan (number 105), his manga will resume in the coming days. The official release date for One Piece chapter 1077 is March 13, although as usual, we will have leakers ready to do the "dirty" work and spread pages and translations of what will be shown inside in advance. While waiting for that, however, some palpable theories are already starting to emerge.

After all, March is a special month as it includes several important birthdays: we have just passed Sanji's, and on March 9, Shanks, Mihawk, and Franky will all celebrate another year of "life" together. With this date so close to the release of the chapter and seeing the events taking place in One Piece, fans have started to create high expectations for the next developments within the story. The next chapter of One Piece is highly anticipated by fans, and there are already theories about what might happen. With the current arc focused on Vegapunk, Franky is already considered a possible focal point of the story. Mihawk's appearance with the Cross Guild and his upcoming battle with Zoro have reignited discussions about his character. And with Shanks at the center of attention due to chapter 1076 and his upcoming battle with Kidd, each of these three characters could have some relevance in the next chapter. Additionally, there is a bizarre coincidence that some fans have noticed: every 11 chapters starting from chapter 989, Eiichiro Oda tends to bring the narrative to its peak, showing epic moments and notable events. 

 

Let's clarify what we are talking about:

• In chapter 989, we saw the reunion of the Straw Hats at Onigashima in the stage room, a moment that sparked a lot of hype in fans, ready to see the battle intensify even further.
• In chapter 1000, we see Kaido being damaged for the first time with his Red Roc, and it is here that he reaffirms his goal of becoming the Pirate King.
• In chapter 1011, the Wano plot is advanced impressively, with Luffy finally finding himself fighting Kaido alone.
• In chapter 1022, Sanji and Zoro finally return to battle, forming the strongest and most iconic duo we have ever seen.
• In chapter 1033, we finally see how Zoro has managed to learn to use his Advanced Conqueror's Haki through his sword.
• In chapter 1044, Nika, the Sun God, and Luffy's Gear 5th are finally revealed.
• In chapter 1055, Shanks makes his appearance after a long time, stating that the arrival of the new era is near and making Green Bull "escape" from Wano.
• In chapter 1066, Vegapunk's true face is finally revealed, after some small "trolls" by Oda in showing his satellites.

At this point, with chapter 1077 of One Piece, we will likely see further significant moments for the manga's story. It is currently difficult to speculate on what it may be about specifically, but considering that a continuation of the events in Egghead will certainly be shown, perhaps it will finally be time to see the entrance of the Gorosei Saturn and Kizaru.
