"One Piece" Chapter 1044 is now trending ahead of its release. As it may still take almost a week before the new chapter drops, the hype is now incredibly growing with the anticipation.
There are two things fans are waiting to happen in "One Piece" Chapter 1044 after Luffy's Devil Fruit has awakened. One is the confirmation that Luffy has transformed into Joy Boy or two; he has become its inheritor.
The manga took a break after Toei Animation's hack and the creator himself, Eiichiro Oda, asked for some extra time to do it. Aside from the fact that the manga is always much-awaited, readers are also waiting to see the biggest revelations it is about to drop.
In fact, Comicbook noted it is currently trending on Twitter and Tumblr, thanks to the previous chapter's major cliffhangers and teasers. Fans saw Luffy return after his near-death experience.
Zunesha confirmed it was the Joy Boy and some secrets about it are about to be revealed. "One Piece" Chapter 1044 will uncover the manga's dark period and many are now casting different theories about it.
Sports Keeda added fans might see more of Luffy in the next chapter as it might give a full explanation about his situation. It may also feature more of Zunesha and Momonosuke, knowing the former knows more about the Joy Boy.
She may explain what has happened to Luffy, while Momo is the one who will tell it to the others. However, it has been known that Oda always takes time before he completes a certain topic.
He never does it in a single issue, so it is also possible that Luffy will not be part of the next chapter and may focus on other characters. It may feature Zoro, Hiyori, Orochi and Kaido, who is now on the Live Floor to demand the enemies' surrender.
The new chapter will also likely check on Zoro after being incapacitated. Fans also want to know his status, especially the mysterious, skeletal visitor.
Compared to Zoro, fans have seen more of Hiyori and Orochi. But their situation also poses a major cliffhanger. By its looks, the readers are also waiting for how Oda will try to solve the cliffhangers, knowing there are several of them.
If there is another thing that many want to see, it is to witness Kozuki Hiyori, Oden's daughter, taking revenge against the false Shogun for what he did in Wano and her family. Finally, "One Piece" Chapter 1044 will drop on Sunday, March 27.
