Disclaimer: Don't Know if this thread has been made yet. But here are my thoughts for Chapter 1005 of One Piece:
- In Chapter 1004, we have been updated with the current whereabouts of Franky, Nami, Usopp, Tama, and Sanji.
- We may have also seen Nico Robin already, as you guys may know of that panel in 1005.
- Given that we engage in the activity of these four (or 5) strawhats, next chapter may explore Jinbei, Brook, Chopper, and continue the Sanji/Nico Robin plotline.
- I am also quite confident that Sanji will be broken free of this Black Maria plotline and will head downstairs to aid the Red Scabbards. Nico Robin will intercept Black Maria and engage in combat with her.
- This way either Sanji will get sidetracked to fight against Queen or will meet the mystery man/woman in silhouette and show his exaggerated slurp/thirst face.
- It is also possible that Tama/Usopp/Nami will go through every floor the strawhats (by happenchance are) to distribute the Kibi Dango's.
- I also believe we will be updated on what's going on with Yamato/Momo and Shinobu, and maybe even Carrot and Wanda.
- Yamato may be up against Jack or Smoothie [if we find out the BMP have landed (this would add a layer of stakes and tension)]
- Which also gives a shot for Brook to go up against Daifuku if not Apoo.
- Yamato may be up against Jack or Smoothie [if we find out the BMP have landed (this would add a layer of stakes and tension)]
- All of these plotlines I expect to end in duress.
- We say this every week, but there is also a given chance the Act will end. This week I am more confident than usual, because we will conclude to what all the strawhats are up to or up against.
- I think this is the perfect chance to end the Act because we have several different things silhouetted or left open within the last 10 chapters. Such as:
- Yamato's Devil Fruit
- Black Maria/Sasaki/WsW Hybrid's
- Jack/Queen/Kid Hybrid's
- Kaido Hybrid
- Toki/Hiyori? (Personally I believe it's Hiyori because Mothers don't live in One Piece + Oda dislikes motherly presence in OP, however, Toki is a special case, and her scar on the leg may play a role to identify her)
- But I lean towards Hiyori because of her want, to Kill Orochi, and the existence of Ame No Habakiri
