A lot may happen in One Piece Chapter 1001, from Kaido and Luffy's fight to Sanji's future in Black Maria's hands. There are rumors the new chapter may shift its main focus from the much-awaited battle between the two pirate captains to the fights the rest of the Straw Hat Pirates deal with.

Sanji is said to be in massive trouble in One Piece Chapter 1001. As he is known for not hurting any women, it looks like the strongest six Shinuchi will find her match into another female fighter, Yamato.

Black Maria has tangled Sanji in her spider web, and Brook and Robin may come to his rescue, BlockToro noted. There is no way for the Straw Hat Pirates' cook to fight, knowing that the Tobiroppo's entire crew is all girls.

Sanji will never break his moral code not to hurt beautiful women, so someone else may have to do it for him. By the looks of it, Nami and Usopp may also arrive to save Sanji.

There are theories they will be exchanging opponents in One Piece Chapter 1001, and Sanji will face Page One instead. Robin and Brook are also on their way to the same room where Black Maria tangles Sanji on the web.

Robin seems to be the perfect match for Black Maria and her devil fruit powers, as she may use her body to splash the enemy's spider form. As an ice breaker, Brooks will ask Black Maria to see her pants, but another female fighter may come and help save Sanji.

Yamato may come to Sanji's rescue in One Piece Chapter 1001. This move may incite Sanji to finally include Yamato in the crew. Will this happen after the epic battle?

Elsewhere, Omnitos added Luffy might win the Wano's people's heart when he manages to defeat Kaido. From here, he may continue his journey to Raftel.

The new chapter may also answer the questions about the Will of D and its meaning, the Blackbeard's coming to Wano, and Shanks or the Red Hair Pirates. It may also feature something about the Marines' situation, the possibility of the Revolutionary Army and Shanks joining the battle, Luffy's bounty after the Wano arc, and more.

Anyhow, it looks like fans still have to wait a little more before they see One Piece Chapter 1001, per Devdiscourse. The manga's release date is moved to another week, which is on next Sunday, January 17. However, with the twists and turns of events, it will definitely be worth it.
