Luffy Versus Kaido For Future of Wano in Upcoming One Piece Anime Arc

The latest One Piece arc was one of the most unforgettable tales ever told in the legendary shonen anime. Not only did we get the much-wanted exposition to Roger’s travels, but we also saw the Land of Wano!

The animators filled the Wano arc with the fantastic narrative of Oden’s struggle against Kaido. They balanced the bittersweet humor and bloodthirsty revenge on the edge of a katana. Moreover, they did it in style.

Now it’s time to move on… and come back to the present!

One Piece Episode 976 Titled ‘Back to the Present Day! 20 Years Later!’ will start the Onigashima arc on the 30th of May. This concludes the current Oden arc of the Wano country story. 

The episode preview shows that Akazaya Nine were able to save Kozuki Oden’s children Momonosuke and Hiyori. However, it seems like Hiyori is lost somewhere. Meanwhile, Luffy is seen in samurai attire as he heads towards Onigashima to fight Kaido.

The man who had acquired everything in this world, the Pirate King, is Gol D. Roger. The final words he said at the execution tower were “My treasures? If you want it, I’ll let you have it. Look for it; I left all of it at that place.” These words sent many to the seas, chasing their dreams, headed toward the Grand Line, in search of One Piece. Thus began a new age!
