Future Events PREDICTIONS FOR CHAPTER 978

#5
First we get to see how Law's plan being executed. Kidd pirate go to the left path, SHP go to the right path, Heart pirate use sea path, and some of the scabard go to center.

While preparing for banquet, Kaido get informed that there is a raid on Onigashima. BM is happy to know that luffy is on the way. We get to see another F6 leg, they being devided into 2 force with some of BMP helping. In the last page, we get to see who vs who
 
#7
First half introduces the enemies, shows how the party is supposed to go on, second part kanjuro arrives with momo.
Last panel is some destructions can be heard and seen from far, luffy and kidd are progressing and about to make their entrance.

Hopefully not too much useless conversations and silhouettes for characters nobody gives a shit about and that will get less than 2 chapters fighting in the end.

Let's get to the war.

#10
What? That's like in 22 chapters, what are we going to have before that?
Can't be a flashback, too long for one and we just finished one 5 chapters ago.
They can't talk and sit on their asses for that long now that the alliance arrived at onigashima.

Chapter 1000 is reserved for a bigger event.

I see now. I don't think oda will spend much chapters regarding what's happening on the outside of wano. Just 2 or 3 chapters after act 3 ends.

And I don't see either akainu nor CP0 betraying the celestials scumbags simply because they're also scumbags and have the personality of loyal dogs.

There's no reason to hide the numbers at this point either. Just dump the entire Kaido crew this chapter, show that BM's crew is present (they haven't been seen in almost 50 chapters), and then tease Kaido's Son at the end. I can see it now, Kaido calling his son "Ace".

Hell, give some perspective on Orochi's guards, we know they exist and they've barely gotten exposition (Mimiwarigumi, his possible Retainers, and maybe the Shinsengumi if they exist)

Should be a wholly exclusive Kaido-side chapter.

You underestimate Oda's extension of battle setups.

- Enies Lobby spent like 25 chapters setting up the CP9 battles and getting everyone in their respective places
- Dressrosa spent more than 30 chapters doing the same thing before the family went down.


They haven't even arrived at the Onigashima Port, then Oda has to show 4 different perspectives initially:

- Luffy and Kid barging at the front door and likely destroying fodder
- Kinemon's side in advancing through the Onigashima mountains
- Denjiro's side
- Law and the remaining scabbards doing a surprise assault from the rear (they will likely get there first if the distractions work)

Shishilian and Hyogoro are likely with Kinemon/Denjiro somewhere. Kinemon/Shishilian could lead the Minks one way. Denjiro/Hyo would lead the Samurai the other way.

Additionally, Oda has to characterize like 30+ villains before they get defeated, we will see a TON of skirmishes I'm sure. He also has to probably do a Rocks flashback, it will happen before or after the War starts. Luffy and crew need to steal the road poneglyph, save Momo, the scabbards and crew need to confront Orochi/Kanjuro.


There's so much that could happen before the main battles start, that I'm not even sure 22 chapters will be enough to do so considering how Oda writes his scenes. Chapter 1000 will probably be the arrival of some major character (Perhaps the one talking to Crocus in that one cover page?) right before the end of Act 3 or something. But I don't think the actual war is starting until after this point, imo.
