This chapter might be goated lol so much mess it's causing. We're near the climax, 15 minutes to be exact. So many things still needs to happen,and Zoro in particular is a big ? what does Oda wants to do with Zoro story arc in Wano? Zoro leading the Samurai about to come true? Would that then lead to zkk or something else?
Luffy is gearing for a MC comeback that will get the better of Kaido and even knock him out for a bit. Then we get the rocks flashback. Motivates Kaido to comeback, then luffy in a pinch... Zoro dragon blaze?
We have Kidd and killer destined for hell. I can see one or two things that will happen, Kidd and killer fail and force to retreat because Kidd or killer is on their deathbed, or killer beat Hawkins, link back with Kidd and law, then get the better of big mom, forces her to retreat.
Hyori makes her appearance, then Orochi makes his move and find out the truth leading to a surprise matchup. Hyori vs Orochj
Anywho, each chapter after 1022 should be consistently great. Time to raise the stakes Oda
