"One Piece" Episode 982 will continuously explore the War for Wano arc as Luffy and the rest of the Straw Hat Pirates will bravely face Kaido and his subordinates. The anime has now dropped its new episode promo and it gives fans a clear look at how terrifying the Beast Pirates can be.
Fans have seen how Orochi and Kaido have oppressed Kozuki Oden - leading to his death in the recent flashback. Now, Luffy and the rest of the gang are up to avenge his death and free the people of Onigashima from their hands - starting in "One Piece" Episode 982.
Twitter user Soulstorm_OP shares the new episode preview and shows the dark look at Kaido's higher-ups. As the anime is nearing its 1000th episode milestone, it looks like fans are about to see an intense turn of events, which may involve a big fight.
The series of battles in the manga series is now making its way on the anime and viewers are about to see how Luffy joins forces with other fighters. They will create a strong resistance of Wano and its ramifications-whether they will win or lose-will significantly affect the world of the Grand Line.
It will also have a big influence on the Straw Hat Pirates' mission itself to make Luffy the new King of the Pirates. So, how will they do this?
The Cinemaholic noted the Straw Hat Pirates might take advantage of the busy Fire Festival and attack Kaido and Orochi in "One Piece" Episode 982. From here, the Beast Pirates captain might reveal that he actually intends to find One Piece and the ancient weapons.
When he starts to talk about his plans for the Wano Country, Orochi may begin opposing him. This may incite the world's strongest creature to behead the shogun.
In One Piece Chapter 981, Luffy and the Straw Hat Pirates crew reunited with Jinbe, who had become the group's new member. The fish-man had been away after he looked after the Sun Pirates members, who used to be his crew.
After the greetings, he started to helm the ship. The Akazayas and others began planning to take over Onigashima.
However, Law said Luffy and Kid would attack the enemy head-on despite their planned moves. So, he proposed to use them as decoys to get to Kaido's submarine.
Usopp saw the Torii gate with the long-range artillery and warned the whole crew. Jinbe effortlessly maneuvered the ship through the cannon fire and Luffy and the rest of the gang started their attack.
The battle will continue on the release of "One Piece" Episode 982 Sunday.
